In the WordPress Bulk post editing plugin<\/a>, you can easily set a new password for all posts \/ custom posts or change it by using \u201cbulk edit<\/strong>\u201d form or \u201cbind edit<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to set a password for some custom posts, it is necessary to filter them by using \u201cFilter<\/strong> Form<\/strong>\u201d or finding and selecting them by using \u201cQuick search<\/strong>\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this tutorial, we found latest news by using \u201cQuick Search\u201d<\/strong> fields and following below actions <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
Type \u201clatest news<\/strong>” in the text box<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Choose \u201cTitle<\/strong>\u201d from Type<\/strong> combo box <\/li>\n\n\n\n
Select \u201cLike<\/strong>\u201d from condition<\/strong> box<\/li>\n\n\n\n

Click on \u201cFilter<\/strong>\u201d icon <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n $\"Filter$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
WordPress Set password by bulk edit<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
To set password for those custom posts by using \u201cBulk edit<\/strong>\u201d form, following the below steps is required:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 1: open bulk edit form <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBulk edit<\/strong>\u201d form is available in the below address:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WordPress dashboard > Pro bulk bundle > WP posts > Bulk edit form button <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
By clicking on the \u201cBulk edit<\/strong>\u201d button, you can find the \u201cPost Password<\/strong>\u201d field in the \u201cGeneral\u201d<\/strong> tab of \u201cBulk edit<\/strong>\u201d form. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Set the conditions and values<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
As shown below, you can bulk edit custom posts password by set the conditions and values in three different boxes including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Condition box<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
The following items are provided in the condition<\/strong> box to enable you edit post password as your requirements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Append:<\/strong> Add a value to the end of the current password <\/li>\n\n\n\n
Prepend:<\/strong> Add a value at the beginning of the current password <\/li>\n\n\n\n
New: <\/strong>set a new password <\/li>\n\n\n\n
Delete:<\/strong> Remove some values from the current password <\/li>\n\n\n\n
Replace:<\/strong> Replace some values in the current password by new ones <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Text box<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
In the Textbox<\/strong> you can either type a value including text, numbers, quotations and etc or add a variable from the \u201cVariable\u201d<\/strong> box to bulk edit the post password according to the set condition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"Text$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Variable box<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
In the \u201cVariable\u201d<\/strong> box some default values are listed and you can add as many items as you need to the text box for bulk editing post passwords. These items include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Title <\/li>\n\n\n\n
ID<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Menu Order<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Parent ID<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Parent Title<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
$\"Variable$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Now let\u2019s see some examples about how to set passwords for our selected posts by \u201cbulk edit<\/strong>\u201d form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Example 1: Set a new password<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
To set a new password for our custom posts, we followed below action:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Choose \u201cNew<\/strong>\u201d from the condition<\/strong> box<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Add \u201cid<\/strong>\u201d and \u201ctitle<\/strong>\u201d from the \u201cVariable<\/strong>\u201d box and type \u201c@Postpassword\u201d after them<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Click on \u201cDo bulk edit<\/strong>\u201d button<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n $\"Set$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
To make sure that our changes were applied to the custom posts, we added the \u201cpost password<\/strong>\u201d column to the post table by \u201cColumn Profile\u201d<\/strong> form: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"Add$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
As illustrated in the below picture, the new password was set for all of our custom posts: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"Display$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Example 2: Append a value to the post password <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
If you choose \u201cAppend<\/strong>\u201d from the first dropdown list, any value or variable typed in the text box will be added to the end of the existing password. So, we chose \u201cMenu order<\/strong>\u201d from the \u201cvariable<\/strong>\u201d box:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"Append$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
And after clicking on \u201cDo Bulk Edit<\/strong>\u201d button, the menu order of each post was attached to the end of each post password:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"Result$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Example 2: Prepend a value to the beginning of the existed password<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
As shown below, when we chose \u201cPrepend<\/strong>\u201d from the condition box and typed \u201cNewpassword<\/strong>\u201d in the textbox:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"Prepend$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
It was added to the beginning of the post password after clicking on \u201cDo bulk edit<\/strong>\u201d button:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"Result$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Example 3: Delete some value from post password<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This item enables you to bulk delete some values from the custom posts passwords. For example, we decided to remove \u201cid<\/strong>\u201d and \u201cNewpassword<\/strong>\u201d from the post password by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Select \u201cDelete<\/strong>\u201d from the Condition<\/strong> box<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Choose \u201cID<\/strong>\u201d from the Variable<\/strong> box<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Type \u201cNewpassword<\/strong>\u201d in the Text<\/strong> box<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Click on \u201cDo bulk Edit<\/strong>\u201d button<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n $\"Delete$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
So, the result was exactly according to our expectation after applying those changes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"Result$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Example 5: Replace some values in the post password <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
As shown below, you can choose any value included in your post password to be replaced by some other values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, we tried to replace \u201cTitle<\/strong>\u201d by \u201cSKU<\/strong>\u201d in the custom post password. So, we followed below actions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Choose \u201cReplace<\/strong>\u201d from the first \u201cCondition<\/strong>\u201d box<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Choose \u201cTitle<\/strong>\u201d from the first \u201cVariable<\/strong>\u201d box<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Select \u201cSame case<\/strong>\u201d from the second \u201cCondition<\/strong>\u201d box<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Select \u201cID<\/strong>\u201d from the second \u201cVariable<\/strong>\u201d box <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n $\"Replace$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These changes resulted in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"Result$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
You can also choose \u201cignore case<\/strong>\u201d from the second \u201cCondition<\/strong>\u201d box to ignore the value you entered in the text box and replace all other values in the post password by the new value you have set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Set password by \u201cBind Edit\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
As we mentioned before, another way to bulk edit post passwords is using \u201cbind edit<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To be able to use \u201cbind edit<\/strong>\u201d, you need to add the \u201cpost password<\/strong>\u201d column to the post table as we have done before by using \u201cColumn profile<\/strong>\u201d form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, you can easily \u201cbulk edit<\/strong>\u201d post password directly from the table by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Selecting those posts required to be edited by marking the check box next to either \u201cID<\/strong>\u201d or each post.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Marking the check box next to \u201cBind edit<\/strong>\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Click on one of the \u201cpost password<\/strong>\u201d columns<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n $\"Select$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n
Edit the password by typing any value in the textbox<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
$\"Edit$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n
Click on \u201cEnter<\/strong>\u201d and see the result<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
As shown below all passwords of the selected posts were changed at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
