Hey there!

Its Marlinda and today I'm going to be showing you how to change a post to a page or vice versa.

The first thing you will need is a plugin called 'Post Type Switcher'.

Where To Find Post Type Switcher

You can find this plugin two ways:

  1. Download it from the WordPress Website
    1. https://wordpress.org/plugins/...
  2. Or you can search in the plugins menu for 'Post Type Switcher'

Once you have the plugin installed, click 'Activate' and it is ready for use.

How To Change Your Post Or Page Attribute

  1. First, navigate to the post or page you want to switch.
  2. Open it in the full WordPress editor view.
  3. Look to the right of your screen and you will see a 'Publish' box.
  4. Look for a menu that says 'Post Types' and a drop down box.
  5. When you click on the drop down box, select the right attribute
  6. Click 'Publish' to confirm your changes

And that's it! Now you changed your post or page to the right version.

Thanks Marlinda. Then the post Headline title might appear too long on the page menu. Anyway to shorten it?

You're welcome. I'm glad you found value in this information. I don't want to shorten this particular title. It says exactly what I want it to say and even if it gets shortened in search what shows is enough for anyone to see what it's about. Thanks for the question :)

Awesome! Glad I could help you out. It's an easy mistake to make. Usually, it doesn't really matter but in this case the way the setup worked it required a page, lol. Thanks for watching and commenting

Thanks for this. I didn't even think about explaining what a Page and Post are and how to set them up.
