How to manage column profile in WordPress Bulk posts editing?

Manage column profile in WordPress bulk post editing plugin can help you to take the most advantages of our plugin. In fact, the main purpose of providing a post table in this plugin was to enable the store managers to see as many columns as they need related to each post / custom post in the main page and then bulk edit any of them.

To help more and make it more convenient for the store manager, we designed a special tab called “Column Manager” and we’re going to show you how easy it is adding any columns to your post table in this tutorial.

Manage column profile

To manage post columns, you have to open the “Column Manager” tab which is available at the top of the main page.

By clicking on “Column Manager“, you will see the below page:
