I am trying to create the following: I want to create a list where a group of entries will be listed in an archive layout but we want to edit some of the fields in a row to row style. We do not want to have to access the entries one by one but in a listed format and change a date for the entries and submit back to the db

Would that be possible with toolset?

Hi Andre,

Thanks for asking! I'd be happy to help.

The Toolset plugins don't include a built-in bulk editing feature like this, but you'll find a number of third-party plugins for this in WordPress' plugin library ( https://wordpress.org/plugins/ ).

Following are some examples:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-bulkquick-edit/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-sheet-editor-bulk-spreadsheet-editor-for-posts-and-pages/

Alternatively, if you're comfortable with PHP code, you can also prepare a custom function for the desired bulk editing operation, using the "get_posts" ( https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_posts/ ) and "wp_update_post" ( https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_update_post ) functions.

For a personalized assistance around custom programming, you can also consider hiring a professional from our list of recommended contractors:

I hope this helps.

regards,
Waqar
