Bulk operations are powerful actions that require caution. Wapi includes security mechanisms to protect you:
- Always ask Wapi to show you a preview before making important changes
- Clearly specify the selection criteria for the affected posts
- Verify the number of posts that will be affected before confirming
Wapi will always inform you of the number of items that will be modified before performing a bulk operation.
Security settings
You can configure permissions for bulk operations directly in the WordPress plugin settings:
- Allow or block certain sensitive actions (deletions, mass updates)
- Set custom limits according to your needs
- Adapt the configuration to your workflow
By default, the most sensitive actions are disabled to ensure your site's security.
