Site Manager

Site Manager is where you work on content in bulk. Pick a post type, narrow the list with filters, check the rows you care about, choose what you want to do (assign categories, delete, update SEO fields, and so on), and run it.

How it works, step by step

1. Choose a Target Type — post, page, product, category, or another supported type.
2. Set your filters: status, categories, tags, task type or status (if Accelerate Editorial Calendar is installed), search terms, and optionally sort by views.
3. Click Submit to load results. Once rows appear, the filter panel collapses to give you more room. Use Show filters / Hide filters in the action bar anytime; your filter values stay in place for the next query.
4. Check the rows you want to change. By default, that means the current page of results unless the screen offers a wider select-all.
5. Pick a process and fill in whatever it asks for (categories, tags, and so on).
6. Click Run. The server checks your permissions and applies the batch.
7. Review the summary when it finishes — it tells you what succeeded and what did not.

Finding the rows you need

For posts, pages, and products, keyword search looks at titles and the columns Site Manager is configured to search. Category, tag, and author filters resolve to the right term or user IDs first. If you change the target type, the screen reloads with a fresh query context.

If Accelerate Editorial Calendar is active, you also get Task type and task status filters. Task type includes update, optimize, review, idea, and research. On category listings, task filters control which terms show up. When you leave task status blank, completed tasks are left out of counts and task strips unless you filter for them explicitly.

Post Status shows up for post-like types and hides when you are working with categories.

Running a batch

Destructive processes ask you to confirm when they need to. Everything else goes through the usual WordPress update paths. Stay on the page until the AJAX run finishes so you do not miss errors in the summary.

Edit Mode and SEO meta

You can edit titles, slugs, and SEO fields right in the list — that used to be a separate Pro feature and is now part of SEO Bulk Admin 2.0. Turn Meta on to show SEO columns; click Save when you have inline edits ready. Character counters are there as a guide, not a hard limit.

Calendar tasks (Accelerate Editorial Calendar)

When Accelerate Editorial Calendar is active, result rows can show an aec-seoba-tasks strip so you do not have to jump to the calendar for every assignment:

• One task — the link opens the task editor; hover for the same flyout you see on the calendar.
• Several tasks — the label reads “N tasks”; click for a tooltip list, or use + to assign a new task for that row.
• Category rows — the strip lists tasks tied to that term ID.

After you save a task from Site Manager, the strip updates over AJAX. You do not need to reload the whole results table.

View counts (Accelerate Crawler Map)

With Accelerate Crawler Map active, each result row can show a view count — human visits for that post. Sorting by views uses the same data. Bot traffic, referrals, and the rest of the analytics story live on Accelerate Crawler Map screens, not here.
