Use WordPress Bulk Actions to Archive Many Posts at Once
To archive more than one post at a time, use bulk actions on the WordPress admin archive screen for that post type.
Detailed Instructions
- In the WordPress admin, go to the posts page for the post type that has posts you want to archive.
- If needed, click the Screen Options button in the top right corner and increase the number of posts per page. This will allow you to archive greater numbers of posts at once.
- Order posts by date or search and filter them (using the built-in filters or a tool like Admin Columns) until you see the posts you want to archive.
- Check the select box for all the posts you want to archive.
- In the Bulk Actions dropdown above or below the posts table, select “Archive.”
- Click the Apply button.
- A message will appear telling you how many posts have been archived successfully.
