Description

This plugin adds a simple post-type drop-down to the post editor interface, allowing you to reassign any post to a new post type. It allows you to switch post’s type while editing your post.

Ebika Ebikirizibwa

The plugin can convert nearly every combination of posts, pages, and even custom post types:

Olupapula ku Kiwandiiko
Ekiwandiko ku Lupapula
Ekiwandiko ku Kika Ekipya
Kika ku Kika

As of 3.0.0, support for switching to or from Attachments was removed. This may come back in a subsequent version.

Invisible post types, such as revisions, menus, etc., are purposely excluded. But, if you need to access invisible post types, you can adjust the boundaries using the ‘pts_post_type_filter’ filter.

Ekuterezza mu bungi

With bulk editing (thanks to Matthew Gerring) you can select all the posts in a certain type and convert them to a new type with one quick action.

Edita ya buloka

With block-editor (aka Gutenberg) support (thanks to Daniel Bachhuber) you can switch between post-types that use either the Block Editor and the Classic one, without losing any of your embedded content.

FAQ

Lwaki kino nkyetaaga?

You need to selectively change a posts type from one to another.

Does this ruin my taxonomy associations?

It should not. This plugin only changes the ‘post_type’ property of a post.

Kino kyonona ebiwandiko bya buloka edita?

It should not. Be careful when editing HTML content while switching between editor types!

Kino kina sangula ebiwandiko byange?

No. This plugin does not include any code capable of deleting anything.

Plugin conflicts are not unheard of and can be difficult to troubleshoot.

If you’re worried, backup your database and deactivate all other plugins before using this tool.

Thank you SO MUCH for this plugin! I don't know why WordPress removed this feature. We had an older site where some pages were made as posts. Your plugin worked perfectly, and enabled us to convert those pages to posts. Thank you again!!
