Custom Bulk/Quick Edit

December 21, 2022

Custom Bulk/Quick Edit Plugin

Custom Bulk/Quick Edit allows you to easily add custom fields to the edit screen bulk and quick edit panels.

Through Custom Bulk/Quick Edit, you have the option to edit post meta via text, checkbox, radio, select, and textarea inputs within Bulk Edit and Quick Edit screens. Further, you can enable editing of category and tag taxonomies that don’t show up already. Next, taxnomony, checkbox, radio, and select fields have an option to be reset, as in remove current options during Bulk Editing. This is very helpful when you want to mass reset or remove information.

Video Introduction

Custom Bulk/Quick Edit automatically detects custom fields that use the manage_{$post_type}_posts_columns filter to display additional columns on the edit screen. Therefore, unless it’s already configured, your theme’s functions.php file will have to be modified to add custom field columns.

Background

This plugin grew out of the frustration of having to custom write this code for every client. It works best when the custom post types have already added columns to the edit screen via the manage_{$post_type}_posts_columns filter.
