Convert Page to Post

How to Convert a Page to a Post in WordPress

If you need to convert a WordPress page into a post, here are the best ways to do it:

---

1️⃣ Use a Plugin (Easiest Method)

The best way to convert a page to a post is by using a plugin.

🔹 Recommended Plugin: Post Type Switcher

✅ Allows easy conversion between pages and posts
✅ Keeps content, SEO, and formatting intact
✅ No coding required

🔹 Steps to Convert a Page to a Post

1. Install & Activate the “Post Type Switcher” plugin.
2. Go to Pages → All Pages in the WordPress dashboard.
3. Find the page you want to convert.
4. Click Quick Edit and change the “Post Type” to Post.
5. Click Update—done! 🎉

📌 You can also bulk-edit multiple pages to convert them into posts.

2️⃣ Convert Manually (Without a Plugin)

If you don’t want to use a plugin, you can manually copy the page content and re-create it as a post.

🔹 Steps:

1. Open the page you want to convert.
2. Copy all the content.
3. Go to Posts → Add New and paste the content.
4. Assign the correct category and tags.
5. Click Publish, then delete the original page (optional).

📌 This method is best for a small number of pages.

3️⃣ Convert Using PHP Code (For Developers)

If you need to bulk convert pages to posts, you can use a small PHP script.

🔹 Add This Code to functions.php

function convert_pages_to_posts() {
    global $wpdb;
    $wpdb->query("UPDATE $wpdb->posts SET post_type='post' WHERE post_type='page'");
}
add_action('init', 'convert_pages_to_posts');

📌 This will convert ALL pages to posts!
🔴 Warning: Remove the code after running it to prevent it from executing repeatedly.
