Wordpress Plugin: Mass Page Remover

July 9th, 2008 · 5 Comments

Wordpress logo Mass Page Maker made it easy to add pages, now Mass Page Remover makes it easy to delete them.

A simple admin panel interface, MPR gives you a starting ID and ending ID as well as a form for specific page IDs. The lower portion of the window displays a browser of pages and posts, making it easy to find the correct page to delete.

It has been tested up to the latest version of Wordpress, 2.7. If you have problems with an earlier version, or even if it works properly, please contact me or post a comment.

Usage

After activating the plugin, navigate to the admin panel interface, where the options can be entered to remove the required number of pages or posts.
View the page list at the bottom to see which pages you want to remove.

Example:
If the first page ID is 45 and the last page ID is 51, the pages that are deleted are

Example:
You want to remove pages 5 - 10, but also 14, 16, 19. Enter this:

First page ID: 5

Last page ID: 10

Separate pages: 14, 16, 19

Caution: This plugin is extremely powerful. A slip of the mouse can cause your blog to remove many more pages than you intended. Read the options carefully before removing pages.

I am getting this error:

Page Listing
Sort by: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: edit_variable() in /home/better/public_html/bcc/wp-content/plugins/mass-page-remover/mass-page-remover.php on line 129

any ideas?

Thank you for pointing me to this error, Chuck. I’ve updated the plugin, and version 1.3 should fix your problem (it was caused by sharing code between my plugins, which is not a good idea).
