 * Dear people,
 * Since a couple of weeks I use a different theme on my wordpress.org website.
   
   During the transformation I’ve lost my testimonials. They’re not visible anymore
   in my pages.
 * I understood that they should be somewhere but I can’t find them anymore. Can
   somebody help me out?
 * oh yea.. I lost my back up.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Flost-testimonials%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * They’re probably still in your database. If testimonials were a function of your
   theme, changing the theme has removed them from view. You’ll need to either return
   to your old theme or find the code in your old theme that manages testimonials
   and move it into a plugin so it works with the new theme.
 * This plugin may let you change them into pages or posts, though I’m not sure 
   what might happen to any custom fields used on that post type. [https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-type-switcher/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-type-switcher/)

 * Dear Steve,
 * Thank you for your tips. I found my testimonials in my old theme. I try to figure
   out how I will transfer them to my new theme.
 * Kind regards,

 * I have no idea how to transfer the code. I downloaded post type but this function
   is not working. I downloaded the code and switched everything back to my new 
   theme.
