First, you need to visit\u00a0Posts \u00bb All Posts<\/strong>\u00a0page. From here you can click on the bulk select box on top to select all posts displayed on the page.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you don\u2019t want to delete all of the selected posts, then you can now go ahead and uncheck those posts. Otherwise, you can click on the \u2018Bulk Options\u2019 drop-down menu and select \u2018Move to Trash\u2019 option.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Next, you need to click on the \u2018Apply\u2019 button to delete selected posts.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

WordPress will now move the selected posts to trash.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Using this default method, you can only select 20 posts at a time. What if you wanted to delete hundreds of posts?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Simply click on the \u2018Screen Options\u2018 button at the top right corner of the screen. This will bring a pull-down menu where you need to change the \u2018Number of items per page\u2019 to any number you want.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Next, click on the Apply button and WordPress will display the number of posts you selected earlier. You can now go ahead and bulk delete posts as described above.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Note: Deleted posts will be moved to\u00a0WordPress trash\u00a0and will remain there for 30 days. After that, they will be permanently deleted from your WordPress database.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
