Converting posts to pages

  • Unknown's avatar

    I am in the process of converting over 60 posts to pages and all their accompanying widgets. Academica has separate column widget containers for pages and posts, so the process is tedius. Not simply a matter of changing visibility parameters. It is times like this I wish I was using wordpress.org plug-ins. Fortunately, I have a x-large 4k monitor set up in portrait mode, so the widgets can easily be dragged on the administration wp_admin window.

    Does anyone have any other suggestions?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    BTW, in case anyone wants to know why I posted this in the CSS forum and not elsewhere… (so please don’t move this post) is to let other people in the forum (e.g. sacredpath) who are helping me in other areas (related to css), that I am making significant changes on my pages.

    Thanks, I hope I am within my bounds.

    There is no such capability. A post and a page are completely different https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/ and pages site outside the site structure, so what must be done it to create the opposite and copy paste content into it and then delete the original.

    It’s a lot of work, but I think worth it in the long run.

    It’s going quicker than I thought, thanks to dual monitors, tab browsing, using the wp-admin page to edit multiple pages (i.e. for tags). I thought it would be a 6-8 hours job, it’s now looking like only 3-4 hours.

    you’re right timethief, I should have titled this thread, copying posts to pages. There is no true conversion capability using wp.com.

    I’m glad this went faster for you than you expected it to. Happy blogging!

    Thanks. The change has really given me the an open door now to really expand. My goal is now to not just have one page per episode (60 pages), but five (300 pages)! That just insane. A lot of work. But what else am I going to do with my time :)
