Today I want to talk about the plugin, which allows you to change the post type in already published material. For example, if you posted a page, and then realized that it was necessary to record, then you have to:

1. create a new entry;
2. open an article and a page side by side and transfer data from the pages to a new post;
3. delete page;
4. fix the link in the created post, so that it is the same as in the deleted page;

This is an unpleasant situation that occurs with most site owners.. Friends and subscribers of the site often ask me “where is that magic button, which can move from the admin section of the page to the posts section”. It turned out that CMS WordPress has a good free plugin, who knows how to create such functionality. You can do this routine work in just one simple action..

Post Type Switcher plugin

As you can see from the image above, our plugin adds to the block “Publish” optional dropdown list, in which you can choose what type of record you want to change the current record to.

Attention signs of the control system! If you change to an arbitrary data type, then make sure it has all custom fields, so you can fill them out.
