  1. Go to Posts > All Posts admin page and then click on the Screen Options button at the top right corner of the screen.
  2. Select all posts by checking the checkbox next to the title label.
  3. Select "Edit" from Bulk Actions drop-down and click on the "Apply" button.

  5. Finally, just click on the "Update" button to save your changes.
