Tell us what you are trying to do?
Hello I would like to duplicate about 50 "pages" created in one Custom Post Type and move them (or put them) in another Custom Post Type. How can I achieve this ?

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

The Toolset plugins don't offer any built-in feature to move posts from one post type to another, but these are a couple of options that you can try:

1. You can use any third-party import/export plugin which can export your posts from one post type and then import them into another.

- WP All Import ( hidden link )
- WordPress Ultimate CSV Importer ( hidden link )

2. There are third-party plugins available, which will allow you to convert the post type of your existing posts:

3. If you're comfortable with PHP code, you can write some custom code which can programmatically create copies of your posts in one post type to another post type:

I hope this helps and personalized assistance around custom code, you can also consider hiring a professional from our list of recommended contractors:
