Changing the type of WordPress content has never been easier<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

When working with WordPress, it often happens that an article has been created under the wrong content type (post type). For example, an article written as a \"publication\" when it should have been a \"portfolio\". Until now, this would have required the use of a third-party plugin or manual manipulation of the database. To simplify this common task, we have integrated the Post Type Switcher<\/strong> in WPMasterToolKit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which plugin can Post Type Switcher replace?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This module replaces popular plugins such as Post Type Switcher<\/strong> by John James Jacoby, while integrating more seamlessly with WordPress administration, without overloading the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Change your post type in one click<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The module Post Type Switcher<\/strong> allows you to change the type of WordPress content (post, page, or any other custom post type) with a single click from :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • the classic editing screen<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • block editor (Gutenberg)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • fast editing<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • bulk editing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    It adds a \"Type\" column to the list of contents, as well as a selection field for modifying the type directly without leaving the interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Full WordPress integration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    We have taken great care to integrate this module into all administration interfaces:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Classic edition<\/strong> a new field appears in the publication box with a \"Modify\" link to safely change the content type.
      \"WordPress<\/figure><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Fast, grouped editing<\/strong> drop-down menus are injected into native forms, with automatic synchronization after saving.\n
      \"Quick<\/figure>\n
      \"WordPress<\/figure>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Block editor (Gutenberg)<\/strong> a button in the side column displays a popup allowing you to choose another type, with a confirmation message before taking action.
      \"Publication<\/figure><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      How to use this module<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Simply activate the Post Type Switcher<\/strong> from the WPMasterToolKit interface. Once activated :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Go to the \"Articles\", \"Pages\" or any custom post type screen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. In the \"Type\" column, click on \"Modify\" (in the article) or use Quick Edit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Select the desired new type.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Save, and the content type will be updated.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Our technical choices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        To ensure performance and compatibility :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • The module is loaded only if the user is on a relevant page<\/strong> (post.php<\/code>, edit.php<\/code> or admin-ajax.php<\/code>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • The type change is protected by a secure nonce<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • A customized hook do_action( 'wpmastertoolkit\/post_type_switcher\/after_switch', $new_type, $old_type, $post_id )<\/code> allows developers to act after a type change.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • For multilingual sites with WPML<\/strong>the module automatically synchronizes the content type between translations to avoid desynchronization.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • The types of content available are filtered to exclude attachments<\/code>and propose only public types with an interface.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
