We’re currently working on a bulk update of post categories for approximately 35,000 posts. We have a CSV file that includes the post IDs along with their corresponding new categories. We initially attempted to use the WP All Import plugin for this task, but it hasn’t been successful. We suspect there may be a compatibility issue with the Newspaper theme, though we haven’t been able to confirm this.
Are there any alternative methods or recommended approaches for updating post categories in bulk under these circumstances? Alternatively, any guidance on how to troubleshoot or configure WP All Import to work correctly in this context would also be greatly appreciated.
Hello,
Alternative Plugin: WP Ultimate CSV Importer
Steps:
Install & Activate:
– Go to Plugins > Add New, search for “WP Ultimate CSV Importer”, install and activate it.
Prepare Your CSV:
– Have a CSV with columns: post_id, category.
Import Process:

– Upload your CSV and map post_id to “Post ID” and your category column to “Categories”.
– Run the import.
Thank you!
