Ouch

Category: WordPressChrisM @ 2:00 am

Just lost all the tags on around 120 posts. I was trying to mass edit 100 at the same time, my server complained about memory issues, and upon checking the posts, it not only had failed to add the new one, it had stripped ALL the old ones!
Uggh.

    and then I noticed that that a bunch of them were treated like new tweets/posts by facebook. must remember to turn off twitter tools etc. before mass editting. or maybe just not mass editting. sigh

    I once did a mass batch edit, i wanted to simply add one word to my category names for home & family, I wanted it to say home, family, & finances. I ended up with 3 all brand new categories, home, family, and finances. Ack!I did end up finding a much easier way to do it in MT, I didn't have to use the batch edit tool at all, they actually had a tab that I missed for like 5 years, that simply said "catgeories".D'oh! hahaha
