turn a POST into a PAGE

I can think of two options.

1) Edit the post. Select the text and copy. Create new page, paste. Delete post. ??

2) How do you feel about direct database editing?
If you’re comfy with phpMyAdmin, or something similar, you could probably do it pretty easily. Posts and pages are both in wp_posts table. If you find the post you’re after in there and change post_status from “publish” to “static” and perhaps give it a prettier post_name (aka title and for posts is usually a slug) you probably got it done.

Disclaimer: just guessing at option 2 based on some db crawling I was doing recently.

This may be a little easier:

3) Collect the ID# of the post you want to switch to a Page. Next, go to Manage > Pages and click edit for a Page (any one will do). For this next part you’ll need to have your browser’s url/address box displayed: Change the url from

/wp-admin/page.php?action=edit&post=PAGEID

to

/wp-admin/page.php?action=edit&post=POSTID

POSTID being the ID# for your post. Click Go/Load/whatever to load the post in the Page editor. Finally, save the *Page*.

yup – that’s even easier. Nice one!

Note the above works in reverse as well (turning a Page into a post).

It tried that, but when I change the page ID to the post ID in the address bar and load it, the page editor screen reverts to “write post”. I’m using V2.02.

I with weejy. My editor reverts to write post with WP V 2.02. any suggestions?

I knocked together a hack of the post.php page (called it post-apc.php). I did it after an upgrade got messed up. It is a HACK and probably not the best way to do it, but heck it works…
