Post Type Transfer lets you change the post type of any WordPress content. It works with standard Posts, Pages, and all custom post types.
Open a post. Pick the new post type from a dropdown. Click Update. The content transfers. Nothing is deleted. Nothing is lost. Only the post type classification changes.
No developer needed. No database access. No technical knowledge required. More than 3000+ active sites use Post Type Transfer to keep their content structure clean.
Post Type Transfer is free to download and use. The core transfer features have no restrictions. Need more? Post Type Transfer Pro adds bulk transfer, drag-and-drop post reordering, post duplication, WP-CLI support, and priority support.
<h3>Why You Need Post Type Transfer</h3>
Wrong post type assignments happen on every WordPress site. Here are the situations that come up constantly:
• A case study published as a blog post because the custom post type did not exist yet 
• A landing page sitting under Pages when it belongs in a custom post type 
• Hundreds of legacy posts that need migrating to a new structure after a site redesign 
• A client site with no content organization that needs sorting before launch 
• Content published under the wrong type by a team member who did not know the difference
Without this plugin, fixing any of those means manually recreating content, editing the database, or paying a developer. Post Type Transfer handles it from the WordPress dashboard you already use every day.
<blockquote>
<h3>How It Works</h3>
Choose any of the two available methods to transfer a post between post types. Each method takes less than a minute.
<h3>Method 1: Transfer from the Post Editor</h3>
<ol>
<li>Log in to your WordPress Admin Dashboard.</li>
<li>Navigate to the post you want to transfer and click Edit.</li>
<li>In the right-hand sidebar, select the Post tab and locate the Post Type section.</li>
<li>Choose the desired post type from the dropdown menu.</li>
<li>Click Update to save your changes.</li>
</ol>
The post is transferred instantly while retaining all existing content, metadata, and settings.
<h3>Method 2: Transfer Using Quick Edit</h3>
The Quick Edit option transfers a post without opening the full editor.
<ol>
<li>Go to the Posts listing screen.</li>
<li>Hover over the post you want to transfer and click Quick Edit.</li>
<li>Locate the Post Type dropdown within the Quick Edit panel.</li>
<li>Select the target post type.</li>
<li>Click Update.</li>
</ol>
The post is transferred immediately without loading the editor screen.
</blockquote>
<h3>What Post Type Transfer Includes</h3>
