I needed to converts some blog posts to a custom post type and found this plugin
with a google search. It worked perfectly on WP 5.3 and saved me a good our of time.

Wordpress 4.9.5 No better plugin for converting categories to custom post types.
And vice versa.

### 󠀁[Works. Sort of.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-sort-of-7/)󠁿

 [Freshy](https://profiles.wordpress.org/freshysites/) May 5, 2017

This plugin does easily allow you to “bulk” change from one post type to another.
But keep in mind you need to have that post type already set up on your new site
before you can convert it. The part of this plugin that does not work is that it
doesn’t assign the categories that were selected. It converts the post type, but
it gives it a blank category. This requires you to manually look for the newly converted
posts and manually assign the categories yourself. 🙁
