Post Type Transfer Pro

Move content into the right post type

Post Type Transfer Pro helps site owners, agencies and developers reorganize WordPress content from the dashboard. Transfer Posts, Pages and registered custom post types without recreating content or accessing the database. A transfer changes the post type classification while retaining the existing content, metadata and settings.

This is useful when a case study was published as a blog post, a landing page belongs in a custom post type, or a redesign calls for reorganizing older content. Registered types are available automatically, including types created by add-ons or themes, such as WooCommerce products and post types created with ACF or CPT UI.

Transfer one post or a group

To transfer a post in the editor, open it, find the Post Type section in the sidebar, choose the target type and update the post. From a listing screen, Quick Edit lets you choose a new type and update without opening the full editor. For a group, choose multiple posts, open Bulk Edit, choose the target type and update.

Before transferring, check the destination post type's permalink settings. A change in post type may affect a post's URL. If a URL changes, create a 301 redirect to preserve inbound links.

Manage taxonomies and post order

Taxonomy management lets you decide what happens to categories, tags and custom taxonomies during a transfer. Keep them, map them to different taxonomies, or register a new taxonomy for the transfer.

• Reorder posts in the administration listing with drag and drop.
• AutoSort mirrors the custom order on the front end.
• Use the advanced reorder screen to pin posts, move entries to the top or bottom, undo changes, and save or reset the order.
• Choose which post types show the transfer option with selective enablement.

Duplicate posts and manage larger workflows

Create a draft duplicate and choose whether to copy its title, content, excerpt, custom fields, taxonomies and featured picture. WP-CLI support covers supported transfer workflows. For page builders, reordering works with Elementor, WPBakery, Divi and other major builders. Transfers, reordering and duplication also work across WordPress multisite networks.
