    I'm redoing a wordpress site where the original web dev used pages rather than posts.
    I'm wanting to know what's recommended to replace the pages with posts.
    I could:
    • 301 redirect
    • rel=canonical
    Or is there a preferred method of doing this?
    I'm operating on the assumption that Google already indexed the pages and I'm fearful of duplicate content penalty

    thanks in advance
