Biggest opportunity: Swap “posts custom fields”, “posts thumbnails” and “posts meta data” for “move”, “prevent copy” and “copy”. “posts custom fields” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “move” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “posts thumbnails” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “prevent copy” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “posts meta data” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #22. “copy” sits at #16 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 400 of 12.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,766 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

This plugin makes it super easy to move (or copy) posts to a different post type. I used it to move from JetPack Portfolio to my own custom post type and it worked perfectly. Many Thanks!

This plugin may be good for copying/moving/converting all posts or pages, but there is no way that I can find to select individual or groups of posts/pages to copy/move/convert. No instructions are provided, either by the plugin itself or on its plugin page. This topic was modified 5 years, 5 months ago by DexterG.

It’s its capability of moving a custom type post to a different custom type that sets itself apart from all other post and page duplicators – Impressive … 5-Star Worthy!

This is a life saver tool. A must have for your WordPress toolkit. Works with Elementor built pages. I just used this to move all my posts that were created with CPT UI I decided to change the post type name on a live site, and instead of recreating everything I just registered the new name as well, and then using copy from one post type to the other, Whola! Simply the best tool. Thanks!
