Delete All Posts in WordPress Blog

Deleting all posts in WordPress :

We can delete all posts at a time in WordPress without deleting pages. There are two ways to delete all posts in your WordPress blog at once. The first method is deleting posts manually, and the second method is using plugins to delete all posts on your WordPress blog.

In this post, I will show you how to delete all posts on your WordPress using these two methods.

How to Delete All Posts in WordPress Blog :

We can delete all posts on a WordPress blog easily with a single click. Before starting, first set to display all your blog posts on a single page under "Posts results page" in your WordPress dashboard. Then you can select all blog posts and delete them.

Follow below steps to delete all posts on your WordPress blog.

Step 1 : Go to WordPress Dashboard

Step 2 : Click on Posts

Step 3 : Click on the "Screen Options" button located in the top-right corner of your WordPress dashboard.

Step 4 : Set the maximum number of posts that your blog has in the box next to "Posts" under "Show on screen" and click on "Apply".

Step 5 : Now select all posts and select Move to trash and then click on Apply.

You can also delete posts manually one by one, but it can be time-consuming. Using a plugin to delete all posts can be quicker, but unnecessary plugins may slow down your blog. The method I explained earlier does not require adding any plugins, so it is recommended to follow that. However, I will also show you how to delete all posts using plugins below.

How to delete all posts on your WordPress blog using plugins:

Step 1 : Go to WordPress Dashboard

Step 2 : Click on Plugins

Step 3 : Click on Add new

Step 4 : Search for the Bulk Delete plugin and then install it on your WordPress site.

Step 5 : Activate the Bulk Delete plugin and then delete the posts.

 "Bulk Delete" is a useful plugin that allows you to delete posts and pages based on various criteria. While you can use either of the two methods to delete all posts in your WordPress blog, I strongly recommend using the first method.
