## Kuvaus

Bulk Move Plugin allows you to move posts in bulk from one category, tag or custom
taxonomy to another.
 This Plugin also allows you to disassociate posts from a certain

then use [Bulk Delete Plugin](http://bulkwp.com) instead.

supports custom post types as well.

## Asennus

The simplest way to install the plugin is to use the built-in automatic plugin installer.
Go to plugins -> Add New and then enter the name of the plugin to automatically 
install it.

If for some reason the above method doesn’t work then you can download the plugin
as a zip file, extract it and then use your favorite FTP client and then upload 
the contents of the zip file to the wp-content/plugins/ directory of your WordPress
installation and then activate the Plugin from Plugins page.

## UKK

### Instead of moving posts to another category, tag or taxonomy can I just disassociate the post from a category, tag or custom taxonomy?

taxonomy. Just choose Remove Category/Tag/Term option in the right side dropdown.

### Can I move posts from a category to tag?

Yes. Use the ’Bulk Move Category by Tag’ module to move posts from a category to
a tag.

### Does Bulk Move supports custom taxonomies?

Yes. Use the ’Bulk Move Custom Taxonomies’ module.

Even if I check the ’keep all remaining tags’ it removes them. The same goes for
categories. It doesn’t move it, rather removes one tag to another…
