In the third video in this series, we’ll talk about how to edit an existing post in WordPress.

The Posts > Edit sub-panel enables you to select the post(s) you wish to edit, delete, or view. Multiple posts can be selected for deletion and for editing. The Bulk Edit feature allows you to change the details for a group of posts at the same time. A handy in-line edit tool, called Quick Edit, allows you to update many fields for an individual post.

Covered in this video:

How to bulk edit or delete multiple posts at the same time.
Using the Quick Edit tool to quickly change post details.
How to make a post “sticky” to keep it at the top of your page.
Editing, previewing and updating a post using the WYSIWYG editor.

Another excellent production. I am running 3.3.1 and there is not a Post Format in Quick Edit. Is this to do with the version or to do with the Flexibility Theme I am using?

Hi Murray,
Thanks for the feedback. As I mentioned in the video, support for Post Formats depends entirely upon the theme your site is using. Some themes don’t support them at all. The tutorial video uses the default theme that is installed with WordPress, called Twenty Eleven, which has full support for all the Post Formats.
Post Formats are built into WordPress, but it’s up to individual theme developers to include support for them or not.
Hope this helps,
Shawn
