Transferring content from wordpress page to post - wordpress

what's the best way for me to copy content from my wordpress pages into a post?
I'm not an SEO nor IT expert, but I do know a little about duplicate content, URLs, slugs and stuff like that, but not enough to know how best to convert in 7 of my pages into posts.
I've thought of
1) copying the html from the pages into posts and putting a rel=canonical in the pages to the corresponding posts (based on my understanding, my first choice)
2) Use a page to post wordpress plugin (not my first choice - afraid the plugin will break things)
Any help? Thank you!

Have you tried 'Post Type Switcher' plugin? I've used it and it worked without issues.

Manually add /language/ to all Wordpress URLs

I am trying to turn a single language WP website into a multi language site, without using a plugin.
In practice I would like to manually add the language code to the page URL:
domain.com/company/ should become domain.com/en/company/
That should be applied to posts, pages, products and custom post types URLs.
So far I have tried some solutions, found here and elsewhere, without success.
Could anyone give me some hints, please?
Thank you, Paola

How can I manage Drupal blog's posts?

I want to create a blog using Drupal 7 (because the customer told me that). The problem is, when the blog has too many posts, it's hard to manage these entries. Is there anyone know a plugin or a module that can help me manage blog's posts like Wordpress ?
Thanks.
You can try https://www.drupal.org/project/admin_views and built the content page View how you want it to make it more manageable.

How do I call a plugin in a custom page for wordpress?

So I am trying to do this and I don't know how. I have a wordpress powered website with a plugin called "frontier-post" in it. This plugin makes a new front-end post submission. The way to use it is to put the shortcode "[frontier-post]" in any post in my wordpress page and that page turns into this.
I want to make a custom page for myself, where I can have the content created by this plugin there too. So I do not want it to be a post in my wordpress, but lets say at a corner in the custom page. I have searched and found these but the suggestions there would not work. I am able to include the wordpress so that the custom page has access to posts, etc. but even using this
echo do_shortcode('[frontier-post]');
would not help me. (even if header is included)
These are the similar things i found:

Need Help for my Custom Page Template
I would really appreciate it if you could help me with this.
If you are creating a PHP page that isn't going to be rendered inside WordPress, you can't use a Plugin of the WordPress engine to accomplish what you are wanting to build. (As the accepted answer to one of the pages you link to indicates).
Instead, you might be able to use the json-api plugin and have your custom page query it for the data. While it won't render the shortcode, it will give you the raw data to work with.

Edit:
Based on a comment, your do_shortcode should work...just try it without the square brackets.

Wordpress themes with built in product catalog

I want a product catalog without the e-commerce flashy stuff.
I have found one theme so far that has this integrated very nicely
http://themeforest.net/item/nimble-multipurpose-retina-ready-wordpress-theme/3009347
I was wondering if there were more themes out there that had a product catalog similar to this theme.
I tried catablog, works really well, but I don't like how it treats the products as blog posts, and most themes show the "0 comments By username" under the post.
I am looking for themes with a built in catalog, such as nimble. Or really good plugins that get a long nicely with wordpress.
You've mentioned that you're not keen on having products as posts, but I think this is a good fit for Wordpress. Doing it this way will permit you to attach unlimited metadata items to your products, and is in keeping with the 'Wordpress way' of doing things.
If you don't want to see pagination devices on your post browsing pages, modify the "index.php" of the theme, ideally in a child theme, so that the parent theme can easily be upgraded.
If you do not like Catablog just for the reason that it has 0 and 1 comment listed, it is possible to delete that part of the code. If you can post the single.php file then I can help you in removing that part of code.
There are also some other WordPress catalog plugins which are nice to consider. For example eCommerce Product Catalog doesn't show meta data like in a post. It goes a long nicely with WordPress: https://wordpress.org/plugins/ecommerce-product-catalog/

Wordpress Not Publishing Posts To Custom Template

I am building a theme that has a lot of custom templates, like every page. Ridiculous, but for some reason the template I made for the "postings" page is not getting the posts? I have set the post page in reading preferences, and I have set the page to use my template, but it still publishes posts to a default template. Of all the customization I built into this I did not expect the blog part to give me trouble! lol Anyone run into this kind of thing?
Thank you.
The way I usually to it is to have standard setting in reading preferences.
Build my front-page in index.php
Build a template for blog posts
Add a page and assign the blog post template
Of course you then have a kind of placeholder page sitting amongst the other pages, don't really like that. But it works.
