When we need to perform complex tasks in WordPress, we often face many challenges. Some tasks take a lot of time to complete, while others, from an SEO perspective, can be quite tricky. WordPress site owners frequently encounter such tasks.
Today, we will talk about WordPress tools like Bulk Link Remover, Bulk Page/Post Delete, and many others developed by Corenexis. These tools help WordPress site owners instantly handle complex tasks with ease.
Important Things You Should Know
If you are a developer, it’s easier for you to create functionalities for handling complex WordPress tasks. However, for non-technical users, setting up features like WordPress REST API, authentication methods, or other advanced functionalities can be quite challenging. Since most users are non-technical, they need tools that simplify these tasks.
What is WordPress REST API?
WordPress REST API allows you to use many advanced features of WordPress without even opening the website. It helps automate tasks and even lets you completely modify your website externally.
How to Use Corenexis WordPress Tools
Using these tools is very simple. The tool page provides easy-to-follow instructions. However, before using any Corenexis WordPress tool, you need to complete a one-time setup on your website. This setup is very easy, and today, we will guide you through the process.
Let’s go through the step-by-step setup:
Step 1: Prepare Your Website for WordPress REST API
First, you need to enable REST API and REST API V2 using JWT Authentication on your website.
For this, you can install a simple WordPress plugin available in the WordPress Plugin Store.
You can click here to install it directly.
Step 2: Add Code to .htaccess File
Now, you need to configure your server settings for REST API.
- Open cPanel and go to File Manager.
- Find the .htaccess file inside the public_html folder.
- If you can’t see the file, click the three dots or Settings button in the top-right/left corner and enable Show Hidden Files.
- Edit the .htaccess file and add the following code at the end:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*)
RewriteRule ^(.*) - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%1]If you don’t have cPanel or server access, you can use a plugin like File Manager to access your directory.
Step 3: Configure JWT Key in wp-config.php
Now, open the wp-config.php file
add the following code before the line that says: /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */
to get the code click here to generate your own key in step 3.
Step 4 (Optional): Test Your Setup
Your setup is now complete! But if you want to test it, you can visit the JWT WordPress REST API Generator website. There, enter your website URL, username, and password, and click the Generate Token button. If everything is set up correctly, you will get a token immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Corenexis tools different from other WordPress tools?
Corenexis tools are designed specifically for bulk operations and complex tasks that are difficult to perform manually. They use advanced REST API integration to provide faster, more reliable results than traditional plugins.
Are Corenexis tools safe to use on my live website?
Yes, all Corenexis tools are thoroughly tested and use secure API connections. However, we always recommend creating a backup before performing any bulk operations.
Do I need technical knowledge to use these tools?
No! While the initial setup requires following some technical steps, once configured, the tools are designed for non-technical users with simple, intuitive interfaces.
I can’t find the .htaccess file. What should I do?
The .htaccess file is hidden by default. In your file manager, look for a “Show Hidden Files” option in the settings or view menu. If the file doesn’t exist, you can create a new file named “.htaccess” in your public_html folder.
What if my hosting provider doesn’t allow .htaccess modifications?
Contact your hosting provider’s support team. Most hosting providers allow .htaccess modifications. If not, you may need to use alternative authentication methods or consider upgrading your hosting plan.
I’m getting a “JWT key not found” error. How do I fix this?
This error occurs when the JWT secret key is not properly added to your wp-config.php file. Make sure you’ve added the JWT secret key code before the “Happy publishing” line and that there are no syntax errors.
Can I use these tools on WordPress.com hosted sites?
No, these tools require access to your WordPress files and server configuration, which is not available on WordPress.com hosted sites. You need a self-hosted WordPress installation.
How many links can the Bulk Link Remover handle at once?
The Bulk Link Remover can handle thousands of links in a single operation. However, the exact number depends on your server’s performance and timeout settings.
Will bulk deleting posts affect my SEO?
Deleting posts can impact SEO if they have backlinks or traffic. Before using the Bulk Page/Post Delete tool, consider setting up 301 redirects for important pages or using the tool’s selective deletion features.
Can I undo bulk operations if something goes wrong?
Most Corenexis tools don’t have built-in undo functionality. This is why we strongly recommend creating a full website backup before performing any bulk operations.
The tool is not connecting to my website. What should I check?
Verify that:
The JWT plugin is installed and activated
The .htaccess code is correctly added
The JWT secret key is properly configured in wp-config.php
Your website URL is entered correctly (include https:// or http://)
Your username and password are correct
I’m getting a “500 Internal Server Error” after adding the .htaccess code. What should I do?
This usually indicates a syntax error in the .htaccess file. Remove the added code, save the file, and check if your site loads. Then, carefully re-add the code, ensuring there are no extra spaces or characters.
The token generation is successful, but the tools still don’t work. Why?
This could be due to:
Server-side caching preventing API calls
Security plugins blocking REST API requests
Firewall restrictions on your hosting server
Incorrect tool configuration
Can I use these tools on multiple websites?
Yes, you need to complete the setup process for each website separately. Each site requires its own JWT configuration and authentication setup.
Is it safe to share my WordPress credentials with these tools?
Corenexis tools use secure token-based authentication. Your credentials are only used to generate an access token and are not stored. However, always use these tools from trusted networks and devices.
Should I remove the JWT setup after using the tools?
You can keep the setup in place if you plan to use the tools regularly. If you want to remove it for security reasons, you can deactivate the JWT plugin, though this will require re-setup for future use.
What permissions does my WordPress user need?
Your WordPress user should have administrator privileges to ensure all tools function properly. Some tools may work with editor permissions, but administrator access is recommended for full functionality.
