To access the Edit Posts screen, click Posts->Edit on the menu.
The Edit Posts screen will load and look similar to:
Filtering Posts
You can filter the posts displayed using several methods. The first method is using the links at the top of the screen.
Other links you may see there could include Private and Pending Review.
The next method is using a search.
The final filtering method is to use the date and category dropdown boxed and then click on the Filter button.
Delete Posts
There are a couple of ways to delete posts from the Edit Posts screen. If you want to delete multiple posts at once, you can check the boxes to the left of each post, select Delete from the Bulk Actions dropdown, and click the Apply button.
If you only want to delete one post, hover over the post and action links will appear under the post’s title. Click the Delete link.
Quick Edit
The Quick Edit option will appear below a post title when you hover over the title. Quick Edit lets you modify the post details such as title, slug, date, author, password, privacy, categories, tags, comments, status, and sticky.
Bulk Edit
Using the actions option at the top of the Edit Posts list, you can bulk edit several posts at a time. To do that, select several posts from the list using the checkboxes on the left. Then select Edit from the Actions list and click the Apply button. You will see options that can be applied to all of the selected posts.
Configuring the Screen
By using the Screen Options pull down at the top right of the screen, you can show/hide the columns displayed on the Edit Posts Screen. See List Views for more information.
You can show an excerpt of each post in the list by using Excerpt View button above the list.
When you make the change, a post row will now show some of the content from the post.
