If I have to change a number of posts to pages, does this require anything more complex that setting the post-type to page on the table wp_posts? Do any other settings need to be changed.

Is it better to use a plugin like Convert Post Types or Vice Versa instead? I have a number of posts that I like being able to categorize on a site, but I may need to change to pages in the future.

Thanks,

Do I need to be concerned with any other settings or tables? I expect I would lose my tagging, but I want to make sure there is not some other table that tracks post properties differently than page properties. – Purcell Sep 6 '11 at 14:39

No, you don't need to be concerned by that. You're not going to "lose" your tagging, but because WordPress doesn't recognize tags as a taxonomy assigned to posts, you won't be able to access them with out some addition code. Any post type can have a taxonomy (categories, tags), you just have to assign that taxonomy to it via codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/… or something similar. – chrisguitarguy Oct 4 '11 at 23:59
