## تفصیل

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.

#### Supported Types

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

 * Page to Post
 * Post to Page
 * Post to Custom
 * Custom to Custom

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.

#### Bulk Editing

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.

#### Block Editor

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.

## عمومی سوالات

### Why would I need this?

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.

### Does this ruin block-editor content?

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

### Will this delete my content?

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.

If you’re still worried, ask for help in the WordPress.org support forums.

The WordPress Dashboard is busy, and I don’t always pay attention to whether I’m
working on pages or posts. When I goof up, I can fix the problem instantaneously.
With out it — well — life is not so good. This should be a part of the Core.

Extremely useful plugin if you have migrated your site from Joomla and all your 
content is migrated as posts. Post Type Switcher allows you to quickly switch relevant
items from posts to pages. Also very useful if you use custom post types and need
to migrate content between types which you can do in a matter of seconds.

### 󠀁[Great plugin if you use multiple custom post types](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-if-you-use-multiple-custom-post-types/)󠁿

 [Kevin McClellan](https://profiles.wordpress.org/crazywpgeek/) جولائی 21, 2025

I have been using this plugin for several years now and have come to find that it’s
a regular part of my routine now when I decide that a new custom post type is needed
for a site, and super easy to move pages or posts to other post types when needed.
I also use page builders and have not seen any issues as a result of using this 
plugin as all the postmeta is still there. If it’s missing in the new post type 
then that means the new post type didn’t support it. What I typically do is use 
another plugin to clone the page or post, and then move that to the new post type.
That’s a good way to not disturb the current setup while working on the new post
type and implementing features or building onto things. I’m amazed how some sites
that I help with have 1,000+ pages (before I came into the project). When I go through
those sites I can usually come up with 3 or 4 post types that will help declutter,
or put things that should have never been in "pages” into their own space. Post 
Type Switcher is so great at helping move things – and then we just set up some 
301 redirects to preserve SEO and prevent 404 errors.
