I was making articles on pages earlier. I was reviewing affiliate products using pages instead of posts. The changes I am making on that site are:

1) Change the theme which is more blogging friendly. (Astra --> OceanWP)
2) Convert pages to post with the same tags, meta, and content.
3) Resetting the old site and adding an ALLINONE Migration file of my new theme with old content.

First of all thanks for helping. Do you recommend this and tell me how the transition gonna affect it.

-I do not think so
with condition: url, title, article, date create/update, author, meta descripton, and schema do not change

Are you tend to import again your content?
Be sure not to change any url's and while you doing this use a plugin to give a "503" to google bots -"under maintenance".
Keep a backup as an alternative if you want to restore your site.

Okay I have done it. Now the URL is the same as earlier. Updated the sitemap. If that is not a good idea i will add old posts as pages.

Not "POST TO PAGES" it is "PAGES TO POSTS" as i used pages to write articles earlier instead of posts.

Ok, ok!
WordPress Post is more SEO friendly than a Page. Pages are for static content, posts are temporal content that you want to be categorized, tagged, archived. But if you have GOOD CONTENT that Google will love, I don't think that it really matters if it is a page, post or something else.
I have pages with (!) tags that rank well in google.

Great that's why I did this. When I started this website I thought of making it around one affiliate product only that's why I used pages. But as I saw conversions and rankings I added more pages for other product reviews and now I considered the need to restructure the site. Thanks for helping.

Now that you have explained the whole story I think that your decision was the right thing to do.
Bye!
