Hi folks!

I'm wanting to use my blog actively again now, and clear all old posts.

Is there a way to download/ copy all the entries without having to cut and paste each one? Is there an easy way, after saving them, to delete all of them at once?

Thanks!

I have located the archive pages and copied straight from them... long process but the saving is done.

I will see if deleting them works this way.

I have found a page by page deletion capability, for those wishing to do same.

Go into your DASHBOARD and select ALL POSTS...

then in that window it says BULK ACTIONS click on that and choose MOVE TO TRASH. Click on the box that will select ALL of the posts listed on that page. Select APPLY. You have to do this for each page of listing of posts, but it's quicker than individual deletions.

ah one must also go into the MEDIA and PERMANENTLY DELETE any pics etc.

AND go into CATEGORIES and choose the bulk action of DELETE and APPLY to remove those as well.

Then proceed to LINKS and TAGS and do likewise.

Guess this thread can go into the HOW TO now
