Move slug to post or page

  • I’d like to change/move my page to a post (so people can comment). Can I just copy the entire text and slug and re-publish it as ‘post’?

    I did this already and it worked, I’m not sure though if this has any ‘side effects’

  • WordPress permalinks will take care of things by itself, and slugs arent exactly stored in your database, so i guess its ok functionally.
    Do remember that every post and page published has few fields like ‘ID’, ‘post_name’ and ‘guid’ which are unique to themselves.
    also posts popup in your feeds (also where guid field plays a role), whereas pages dont.
    and if you have a sitemap thats autogenerated then new entry gets added and might result in duplicate entries for same slug – bots crawling, reporting – bad SEO?!

    alternatively, for enabling comments in pages, why not edit your theme files (most probably page.php) and insert the comments code/template?
