How to Bulk Add Posts and Pages in WordPress

In a case if you are looking for a solution of bulk adding posts and pages to your website or blog made with a WooCommerce template or any WordPress theme, there are few options to choose from. The first one is the easiest one – the use of certain plugins that can significantly assist in making your life easier.

Bulk Page Creator for WooCommerce themes

The first is Bulk Page Creator plug-in, which has about 25,000 downloads and very positive evaluation. Its main task - the rapid creation of pages and posts. After installing the plugin you will find under "Settings". Bulk Page Creator allows you to create only one page - that is typed name and clicked on the button “Add Page”. But then you may see “Multiple Pages mode” and explanation in small print underneath. You can simultaneously create a couple of pages by entering their names separated by commas (no spaces).

Below, you define page status (published or draft), and you can enter for their specific content - in this drop-down list, select the item “Set Pages Content”. The truth in this case be a few pages is not clear in WooCommerce themes, because the text box to enter the content only one. In general, Bulk Page Creator plugin properly doing its job, although visually it is not very lucid.

Bulk Content Creator for a WordPress theme

The second plugin Bulk Content Creator supports an older version of WordPress themes, but there will be a smaller downloads. It is that you can create not only pages, but also to other types of recording The main difference from the previous plugin. You can even assign a thumbnail record. You will find Bulk Content Creator module in "Tools" section. Visually and functionally it is much better and clearer the previous version. Here you can:

to add a different type of record (even custom);
enter content for each of them;
define ID miniatures, the parent page and order from the menu;
to set the record status - in addition to the published draft, and there is also "consideration".

You can create categories in a WordPress theme by one hand without any additional plugins due to the basic functions of the system. To do this, go to the "Posts" section - Categories. Here you need to fill in the fields:

name of category;
label (slug) - used to form the posts’ URLs;
parent category, if required;
description (not required).

Then click on the button at the bottom of the page, thereby creating a category in WordPress. Nothing complicated. Tags are added in a similar way to the "Posts" - "Tags". The only thing that there is in the settings is not possible to select the parent element. Now consider the plugins in WordPress themes that allow massively add headings and tags in WordPress. I'll start with the most new at time of writing.

Quick Bulk Term Taxonomy Creator for WooCommerce themes

Quick Bulk Term Taxonomy Creator added into a WooCommerce theme - the perfect solution for developers, enabling you to create a taxonomy based on hierarchy. It supports the WP version up to 4.4.2, the last update was about two weeks ago. 4.8 Evaluation and over 500 downloads.

After installing and activating the module go to "Tools" section - Quick Term Creator. To add a category to choose WooCommerce themes in paragraph Taxonomy to Categories. Then put the list of new items in the form below (one per line). The Taxonomy parameter except headings can also choose tags, categories of links, navigation menu and other taxonomies, if they are installed on the site. Alas, the creation of custom menus based on a hierarchy did not work, but for labels and headings all happened.

Bulk Term Generator in WordPress themes

Bulk Term Generator plugin also allows you to add columns based on hierarchy and supports different taxonomies. For example, to set the plugin WooCommerce into a WordPress template can be massively create categories/tags of goods, delivery category, etc. At the beginning of the work go to the section Bulk Term Generator, where for Taxonomy option in the dropdown list, select the value of Categories. The next page will be information about the available elements and shapes to create new ones. Every new record insert a new line. The great advantage of the module is that you can set all the parameters, creating a category in WordPress: the name, the label (slug) and even description. Write them separated by commas. Just below it is possible to select the parent category.
