First, you’ll need to give it a different name. A plugin named WikiPress already exists: http://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/wikipress/
This means that if you are going to upload it to wp.org, you’ll need to give your plugin a unique name to prevent clashes with the existing plugin and, additionally, if you kept the name anyway (bc you weren’t going to distribute it), you’d still need to at least make the version greater than the version of the existing plugin, otherwise WordPress will think there’s an update available and overwrite your version with the one from ww.wp.xz.cn with the same name.
Sections are simply taxonomies. So all you need to do to remove those is to not register the taxonomy. As I said in the other thread, I had no problem converting posts from one post type to another post type, so that sounds to me like it has to do with your environment. However, if you’re registering the post type as something other than wpwtds_article, it might make a small amount of difference with regards to the convert post types plugin. Otherwise, you’ll need to convert your posts programmatically (which you could probably see how it’s done by looking at the code in Stephanie Leary’s plugin).
Turns out WikiPress has been abandoned.
I know have a copy of Professional WordPress Plugin Development; I’ll study it and see about correcting, updating, and expanding WikiPress, then releasing it under WikiPress Revived.
Any advice?
Lots, but none better than you’ll get in Pro WP Plugin Development 🙂
