    Hello, I have many posts from another blog/wp-install and I’d like to export them all and then import them to another wp-install, but under a new post type, not in the normal posts area.

    Is there any way to do this so I don’t have to re-create a couple hundred new posts?

    Thank you

  • If you want to change all posts to different post type, you can try sql:
    UPDATE wp_posts SET post_type="my_new_post_type" where post_type="post";

    Please bare in mind that it’ll change all posts in the database with post_type set to post.

    thats a great start i didn’t think of that..

    So as for real “Posts” I only have like 4-5 right now so I could just manually copy those Back to posts..

    Thank you
