WP Posts Bulk Actions extends the WordPress posts (and custom post type) list screens with extra bulk actions. Choose which public post types should show the actions, filter content on the Tools page before you act, then apply changes from the familiar Bulk actions dropdown.
Large selections are processed in batches so the admin screen stays responsive. Recent operations are logged so you can review what ran and undo supported actions when needed.
Features

- Move selected items to Trash, or delete permanently (with confirmation)

- Batch processing for large selections (admins)
- Operation history with undo for supported actions (last 20 operations)
- Permanent delete is logged but cannot be undone
