    Hi There – I am trying to figure out if there is a way to move posts between custom taxonomies. I know in the old wordpress there was a plugin that let you convert pages to posts and vice versa. I have events, and when they are over I want to be able to turn them into products to sell videos of them without re-entering all of the information. Is that possible? I have searched all over and can’t find and answer.

    You don’t really move posts, you change objects associated with posts. To change posts to pages and back, you use the function set_post_type(). To do something similar with taxonomy terms, you use wp_set_post_terms(). It includes a parameter where you can choose to either append new terms or overwrite the old ones.

    Thanks for this answer. However, I actually found a plugin called “Post Type Converter” that makes this relatively easy and has recently added support for taxonomies. I have implemented it as a solution for now.
