Converting WordPress Category To Tag And Vice-versa

In my opinion, WordPress is one of the best blogging platforms. You can achieve just anything without you having to be a code wrangler or a Geek.
Months ago, I decided to create a PHP category. Mind you, I’ve written some PHP tutorials with tag php. I didn’t want to go through the hard way – creating a new category, editing articles with tag “php” to be in the newly created category.
Thanks to WordPress, you can automatically convert tag to category in a matter of seconds.

The conversion process is pretty easy to accomplish. Follow the steps below to learn how to do it.

  1. Login to your WordPress Dashboard, click Import under Tools Menu then click the Categories and Tags Converter link to install the plugin.
  2. Go to the plugin page usually with URL http://yoursite.com/wp-admin/admin.php?import=wpcat2tag.
    • To convert a category to tag, check/tick the category and click the submit button.
