To return clean URIs for search results in WordPress from the search form (www.example.com/search/searchterms instead of www.example.com/?s=searchterms)

UPDATE wp_posts SET post_status = 'STATUS' WHERE post_status != 'static';
If you have multiple authors and only want to do a bulk edit of just one author's post, you can use the following command, but remember to replace NUMBER with the correct ID number of the post_author.
UPDATE wp_posts SET post_status='STATUS' WHERE post_author='NUMBER';

(That last edit of page is necessary to overcome a bug where you can't assign Custom Fields to a new page, but you can do it when you edit the page.)
