Taxonomies to CPTs

Are you talking in terms of the content created with the taxonomies? or you mean you registered taxonomy “movies” with CPTUI and you now want to instead have that be a post type?

Exactly, this is what I like to have.

Sorry, but which one are you confirming? Content already created to convert vs CPTUI settings?

Hello,

I already got lots of content.

I created (with CPTUI) a taxonomy “ARTIST” and I like to put all the artists into a CPT “artists”.
So, the content is already created.

Website with example

The grey box is the taxonomy ARTIST and other.

I want it to change into a CPT.

Gotcha. That said, I don’t have any easy or great answer for you, as I’ve never attempted anything like this and it’s not something the plugin is built to handle.

I’m wondering you could create the “artist” post type, and then do a quick query for all the terms in your artist taxonomy, and then loop over them, grabbing details like term name and term slug, and make use of the wp_insert_post() function. Not sure if you have any sort of term meta set up as well, but you could add in fetching the term meta and converting to post meta with the post ID that wp_insert_post() returns upon success.

Best I have at the moment for ideas.
