How to delete wordpress posts in bulk?

[CyberAlchemist]

I have a Wordpress site around 15000 posts and 50,000 images and 3000 comments, I want to use its theme and existed configurations on it, just remove posts, images and comments and start a new one from scratch. How to delete wordpress posts/images/comments in bulk?

Hi CA, I know that they have plugins that can do that but I have never tried them to see how well they work.

Here's one that is supposed to be good: [URLnofo]https://wordpress.org/plugins/bulk-delete/[/URLnofo]

If it does what you need and works out well, please let us know. I'm sure other members can use this if it works well.

Good Luck

I agree with you, increase number of posts on a page in wp-admin (screen option) and you can delete 15k posts in minutes.

Go to posts
top right you will see screen options, click to bring this open
there you should see number of items per page
enter any number up to 9999.
Then select bulk actions, delete or move to trash.
click apply

This for me has been the easiest way of bulk deleting stuff!

Hope this helps
