Select from a dropdown of categories and a dropdown of defined post formats. ## Screenshots * [[ * Choose your category, post format, and submit * [[ * Location in the Tools menu ## Installation 1. Upload the `bulk-convert-post-format` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 3. Configure and run the tool under Tools > Bulk Edit Post Format ## FAQ ### Can I convert custom post types or custom taxonomies? Our plugin currently supports only standard post types and the standard category taxonomy. ### Can I convert only some posts and not an entire category? Not at this time. An easy workaround would be to create a temporary category to select the specific posts you want to convert. After the conversion, you can delete the temporary category. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e09469c9479c13e0907c82da3e82af2d945ffb5d5a69afb9033be0dccae176a8? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works but could be improved](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-but-could-be-improved/)󠁿 [joxyzan](https://profiles.wordpress.org/joxyzhan/) March 4, 2024 2 replies It works! Although: – Not for my custom post types created with ACF – I had to adjust“ Posts to process per page reload” and click “Convert” a few items to get all my 350 posts converted – The result message doesn’t seem reliable (showing “127 posts converted” repeatedly when converting a category and its parent category) – A calculation of the conversions to be made before clicking “Convert” would be very nice ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9f781c7224e6c7e87f7a2067283303bd30024faca002d2815eae2cddc2d94776? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[feature request: convert to other post type](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-request-convert-to-other-post-type/)󠁿 [tokach](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tokach/) November 14, 2023 1 reply Work nice, could you add converting posts to pages and vice versa thankyou ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/374ea40afb714496967ecdd047f26a4c48c9b2b6acac65646e08bf27b7ad8806? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[made vanished my wordpress post format](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/made-vanished-my-wordpress-post-format/)󠁿 [legarsfred](https://profiles.wordpress.org/legarsfred/) October 25, 2023 1 reply Warning: Undefined array key “category” in /wp-content/plugins/bulk-convert-post- format/bulk-convert-post-format.php on line 32Warning: Undefined array key “post_format” in /wp-content/plugins/bulk-convert-post-format/bulk-convert-post-format.php on line 33Warning: Undefined array key “start_from” in /wp-content/plugins/bulk-convert- post-format/bulk-convert-post-format.php on line 34Warning: Undefined array key “ posts_per_page” in /wp-content/plugins/bulk-convert-post-format/bulk-convert-post- format.php on line 35 ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/20b632ecadf04a3982c3ec73c54d7812bf371211a92cc9616cd8dd8aa062f9e9? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Still working smoothly](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/still-working-smoothly/)󠁿 [antoinersx](https://profiles.wordpress.org/antoinersx/) August 22, 2018 Thank you for your work 🙂 ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/1efa14590a02f0664d0c44328a40b4aba6f9288d7fddc6bc9bdc5d50ed729603? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Simple plugin, works and is fast](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-plugin-works-and-is-fast/)󠁿 [krystoflp](https://profiles.wordpress.org/chrisscottuk/) September 3, 2016 This does what it says on the tin – fast!
