Looking for help doing what I hope is a simple task.

We have approximately 2500 entries that are need to be reclassified (choose new category ID). I am hoping that a simple MySQL script can identify all the records with a certain category id, and then change the record from that id - to a different id.

Of course if there is an easier way than a script, let me know!

Need to change all the entries that have ID:2 - to ID:4

Thanks EE community!

  1. Perform DB backup incase this goes wrong.

  2. Execute the follow statement

    UPDATE exp_category_posts SET cat_id = 4 WHERE cat_id = 2

  • That seems to work for entries where it is currently categorized as ONLY category 2. What about entries that might be 2, 3, and 4 - and now I do not want category 2 (so only 3 and 4 in that case)?
