Sometimes, within the existence of a WordPress website, you need to change not only the theme or content but also the actual publish type.
Years ago, you may have placed some information on a Page; however, now you see the cost of having it in a Post.
Well, that’s the correct information! You can make a Page a Post or a Post a Page. It’s spotless to use a plugin called Post Type Switcher.
Just install and set up the plugin and visit All Pages/Posts. Click on Quick Edit and pull the drop-down menu to select Post, Page, or Template. You can prepare it as an infant web page by flattening the Parent drop-down.
Then, discover that Post or Page on the listing where it now belongs.
Presto, change-o!
Why Switch Pages to Posts
There are many motives for making the transfer. For me, it all comes down to Categories and Tags.
Pages don’t use categories and tags because they are static And don’t want to be categorized. Pages sit down placed and don’t alternate till up to date. Pages could have a hierarchal structure by making one an infant of some other. However, that’s the closest you get to sorting.
Posts are dynamic and may be sorted by Categories or Tags, allowing them to be supplied in various ways across the website.
When I first built the BC Association of Travel Writers website, I allowed every member to create a profile-type Page. However, I regretted that decision after making the web page a greater of a directory. I desired editors and publishers to look for a creator in a specific area of interest, but with their testimonies on Pages, a user should best seek with the usual search bar.
Using the Category “Member,” I used a widget to create an Archive page that shows their call, photo, and excerpt and an easy face pile in a sidebar.
