    My posts are in one section of my website (a very old design built by an old friend), and my projects for my portfolio are in another.

    My Dashboard shows both Posts and Projects (as a pinned icon), but If I change my these, Projects disappears. I also have archival posts and projects

    Can I make all my Projects into Posts? In order for me to see them in a dfferent theme?

    My php is old, I can’t update anything and I’m at the point where I want to delete my website address and just have the wordpress as a blog

    Without a link to your site, it’s difficult to help you.

    What initially confuses me is probably the spelling mistake here:

    but If I change my these

    Do you possibly mean “theme” with the last word? Because a new theme also brings with it a completely new arrangement of content. I suspect your current theme provides the post type “Project.” No other theme knows this, so this content then disappears.

    If I understand correctly, you have two different post types: posts and projects. Your goal is now to integrate projects into the posts so that everything is displayed together. Is that correct?

    If so, it would be possible to convert post types. This could be done with this plugin, for example: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/post-type-transfer/

    You mention that your PHP is very old. I am therefore unsure whether such a plugin would help you, as many now require current PHP versions. If you do decide to try it, be sure to create a backup first.

    And, of course, you should also make sure you have a current hosting environment. Contact your host’s support team to clarify this.
