[resolved] Pages were converted to Posts with WP Yahoo 2.8 upgrade (2 posts)

    Yahoo upgraded my version of wordpress without my knowledge and all of my pages were converted into posts. Yahoo support claimed that it was because my theme was too old or that my plug-ins were not current. However, I have two separate sites and it happened to both of them. I upgraded all of my plug-ins and there was no change. My themes could not be upgraded.

    I panicked, because I would have had to convert numerous posts into pages and then fix the hyperlinks. My estimate is that it would have taken 4 or 5 days of work.

    I solved the problem by using the p2pConverter plug-in, available here:

    Amazingly, I did not need to update my hyperlinks. It took about 1.5 hours for both sites. I just clicked 'convert to page' on each post that I knew to be a page and the hyperlinks were properly restored.

    If this has happened to you, give it a try. I am EXTREMELY grateful. Yahoo did not help at all after a few hours of phone calls and this plug-in resolved my issue within the same amount of time. No thanks to Yahoo. Many thanks to WordPress!
