markjames	Since upgrading to WordPress 3.3 I am getting a fatal error when I try to convert a a post type. Fatal error: Cannot redeclare bulk_convert_posts_add_pages() (previously declared in /home/*****/wp-content/plugins/convert-post-types/convert-post-types.php:15) in /home/****/wp-content/plugins/convert-post-types/convert-post-types.php on line 17 Can you assist please – there was a similar error with the plugin Post Type Convertr and the author has fixed that plugin (if that helps – here’s the thread – read more)

markjames	How do I get the patch to work

cyberhobo	Some info on how to manually apply a patch here may help. Hopefully our plugin author will incorporate it in the next release :) This reply was modified 104 days ago by cyberhobo.

cliffseal	I believe I’ve patched it up. Change: Line 124 to: `$q = 'numberposts=-1&post_status=any&post_type='.$_POST['old_post_type'];` And Line 131 to: `$wpdb->update( $wpdb->posts, array( 'post_type' => $_POST['new_post_type']), array( 'ID' => $item->ID, 'post_type' => $_POST['post_type']), array( '%s' ), array( '%d', '%s' ) );` HT to cyberhobo, but my solution is a bit less involved. :)

cliffseal	I can’t edit the comment for whatever reason. I incorrectly posted. This is the correct Line 131 change: `$wpdb->update( $wpdb->posts, array( 'post_type' => $_POST['new_post_type']), array( 'ID' => $item->ID, 'post_type' => $_POST['old_post_type']), array( '%s' ), array( '%d', '%s' ) );`

mhilland	i’ve applied the patch outlined by cyberhobo manually. however, i’m getting a new error now saying “Cannot load convert-post-types-admin-page.” it looks like the code added by the patch created this error. my knowledge of PHP isn’t sufficient to figure out what’s wrong here. i’m desperate to get this plugin to work, it will save me hours of manual labor! if someone has gotten this to work, could you point to a link with the .php? any help is appreciated. thanks!

mhilland	just found this plugin that works great for converting both post types as well as categories to custom taxonomies! -> http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/post-type-converter/

cliffseal	mhilland, I didn’t use any of cyberhobo’s patch—I only needed to change those two lines. It sounds like either something is bad on the bulk_convert_posts_add_pages function, or you’re running a different version of WordPress. Either way, if you don’t need the bulk feature of this plugin, then Post Type Converter or Post Type Switcher are definitely the way to go anyway.

mhilland	actually, the post type converter works for bulk conversions. perhaps they updated it since the last time you used it.
March 25, 2012 at 4:14 pm #634
cliffseal	Ah, you must mean this one: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/post-type-convertr That’s good looking! The other Post Type Converter plugin (with an ‘e’) only adds a meta box to the post page.

Stephanie	This bug is fixed in 1.2, which I just posted to Extend. Thanks very much for your patience, everyone!
