Will my followers get emails if I convert many pages to posts?

    My blog is about fiddling. I created a page (top menu) with many sub-pages a while back called “Fiddle Tune Tabs”. This area is getting larger, and I can see it becoming unruly as time goes on.

    I was thinking of creating a new blog category and converting all these pages to posts, however, I don’t want to do this if it causes my subscribers to be flooded with “new post” emails for each page I convert to a blog post.

    Does anyone know if converting a page to a post generates an email to subscribers as is the case when I create a post from scratch?

    Thanks for any guidance.

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

    Hi –

    That’s a great question. Generally speaking, yes, the followers will get an email notification about the new posts. It might not be a big deal depending on how many posts you plan on publishing. You could also publish a post ahead of time explaining what’s about to happen so they know what’s up.

    The other important thing to note is that your site does not use our managed hosting environment from WordPress.com. Instead, you are hosted by GoDaddy and set up on the open source WordPress.org software. I’d suggest asking your question at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/ for a more complete answer.
