How Do I Delete All Blog Posts in a Category?

If you need to remove multiple blog posts from a specific category—such as when an RSS feed contains stock images that are unattributed and may pose a legal risk—you can use the bulk trash tool to quickly delete thousands of blog posts with just a few clicks.

Steps to Delete All Blog Posts in a Category

  1. In your SoCast dashboard, go to Website > Blogs > Blog Posts.

  2. At the top of the blog list, open the All Blog Categories drop-down menu. Select the category from which you want to delete posts, then click Filter.

  3. Select the checkbox beside the word Title. This will automatically select every blog post in that category. If there are any posts you do not want to delete, uncheck them individually.
