However, I don’t want the content of the post to be lost. So simple editing is not a solution for me.

Rather I need a completely new Description Post.

EDIT:  
Creating a new category would not be a solution either, as the post cannot be moved to another category.

Is then the only solution to copy the post manually and lose likes and much of the meta data?
