We all make mistakes ... in our unwary days

One of them is to write in post instead of page or vice versa.

How can we correct that?

A simple way is to install and use a plugin.

In this case the post type switcher. Really simple.

For more advanced users, you will find the outlay here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-type-switcher/

For the others, a simple tutorial in the next pages

Check your menus afterward. When I changed pages to posts, I had to manually delete pages from my sub-menus.

Hi, can you clarify for me the main differences between when to have a page versus a post?

Page is used to inform.
Most of the time static

Not blogs so to say, nor reviews, nor other dynamic subjects

Just for fun, look here

I use page for legal announcements like cookie policy, privacy policy, table of content and about me pages. Most of them are added to top menu

Hope this helps a little.

Means in seo it is set to no-index...
Have you checked that?

I never set the post for no-index.
My post was silently deindexed after I change it.
I know by using site:domain search in Google.
I have switched some of my posts.
They all got the same deindexed.
The ones I didn't touch stays in the index.
Google search console never inform anything odd as well.
