Converting from a post type category to a regular category

    Hi, Stephanie

    I have a theme that has custom post type video & custom categories associated with the videos.

    What would be the settings I need if I want to convert, e.g. Video (custom categ. 1) to Regular post (Categ. 1.1)

    I associated each video category a new regular category because, I assume, taxonomies will be lost during conversion.

    Hope this makes sense and thanks much!

    The existing categories will not change when you convert the post type. (In the database, the only things that’s being updated is the post_type column.) However, you’ll need to make sure the category taxonomy is registered to your new post type; otherwise you won’t be able to manage the categories for those posts after the conversion.

    If you need to change a term to a different taxonomy, try the Term Management Tools plugin.
