Bulk Actions for Posts in Admin

[Saurabh_Gunjal]

I’m noticing as I write more stuff and publish more. It is getting difficult to manage actions on my posts from the admin panel.

Eg. If I want to unpublish all posts from a certain tag, all I can do is filter them by tag. And then open all posts individually and unpublish them.

Would love to see a feature like Wordpress where we can bulk delete, edit, publish, unpublish posts from the admin panel in the upcoming releases of Ghost.

I’ve asked for this as well a while ago as it would help with managing content with the admin.

Redesigning the Admin interface

There are a few UX improvements that I could think of in the admin interface, namely: I prefer default actions on navigation items that also have sub items, i.e. click on my name would take me to my profile directly and click on the down arrow would show the submenu options the context of ny name (user details) should be focused on that type of content and I would split the Ghost related content into a different area - right now, out of the 6 items in the menu available on my name, 4 are Ghost…

Redesigning the Admin interface

One more quick note here: I feel an admin dashboard is missing, a page to graph a few items such as: latest published (5) articles number of articles/pages (maybe split by tags) number of members/subscriptions (I assume revenue info is kept in Stripe so this is probably unavailable) other relevant info for site owners (unsure what other people feel important, but can add here) Thanks!

Redesigning the Admin interface

One more usability issue I ran into recently, trying to clean up spam subscribers: could use a checkbox based multiple item check and action on them (i.e. select all spam subscribers and delete them)

Still there is no any checkbox for bulk processes in admin panel. For example I can’t remove 10 posts by select them. Currently I have to enter to edit post panel to remove post. This is not sustainable and easy way. I hope this problem will be resolved in near future.

better post management. I have 80 posts in one of my ghost sites and manually clicking each post, clicking the menu, and unpublishing 50 times is a headache.

Same for me here, i’m my case, i exported a wordpress and i have a about 100 users account that i would like to delete, but one by one is a bit of a pain.

Same for the authorship, i would like to change the author of all of them but doing it one by one is annoying.

[mlolm]

I am not an expert here but you may be able to do that via your database if you have phpmyadmin or are able to connect and write queries.

[fakruzaruret]

I think this is not good solution for end users.

[mlolm]

Of course, what i suggested is only a workaround until there is something for this in ghost itself.

I recently migrated over 400 posts to Ghost from Maven. There are another 600 posts remaining as well as a live archive with over 1000 more – my community was initially started in 2008 and the migration path would make a Zensunni wanderer weap – Ning, Jamroom, Maven, to Ghost.

I have to use WP as the gateway between the source sites’ .XML output and Ghost and I can tell you the details required to make the initial 400+ story migration work would have been impossible in the existing Ghost admin interface.

Search (and this is after REGEX cleanup of the XML), filtering, and bulk actions made it possible. I truly miss those capabilities in Ghost – as well as some of the other UI/UX suggestions to the admin interface made in this thread.

Agreed, would be very useful to have this option.

Maybe with the API we could build a simple system in top of it ?
