Great plugin if you use multiple custom post types

I have been using this plugin for several years now and have come to find that it’s a regular part of my routine now when I decide that a new custom post type is needed for a site, and super easy to move pages or posts to other post types when needed.

I also use page builders and have not seen any issues as a result of using this plugin as all the postmeta is still there. If it’s missing in the new post type then that means the new post type didn’t support it.

What I typically do is use another plugin to clone the page or post, and then move that to the new post type. That’s a good way to not disturb the current setup while working on the new post type and implementing features or building onto things.

I’m amazed how some sites that I help with have 1,000+ pages (before I came into the project). When I go through those sites I can usually come up with 3 or 4 post types that will help declutter, or put things that should have never been in “pages” into their own space. Post Type Switcher is so great at helping move things – and then we just set up some 301 redirects to preserve SEO and prevent 404 errors.
