I have a show that I need to change the show type for. I can't see that it's possible. I hope I don't have to reenter all of the information! Please help! Hopefully, someone has something good to tell me.

I think I figured it out. You can change from Cooking show to Wedding or Catalog. However, they have it set up so that we can't change from Catalog to anything else. That's stupid. What if you hit the wrong button? I have a host that if in a different state and I can't do a cooking show for her. However, she decided to send out invites and invite people over for her own little show so it was more interactive than a catalog show. I figure that she really ought to get the $15! She's doing my job! Too bad she won't sign up!!

Send an e-mail to the solution center or call tech support.. they may not realize that this is something that isn't being done that should be.
 
Also if you do please post their response. Thanks.
 
I had this exact problem and called 2 days ago. I was told there was nothing you could do to change a catalog to anything else besides deleting it and starting over! He told me a lot of people were complaining about this and he would put in my comment too.
 
So I guess the solution is to put ALL shows as cooking shows and leave it until last minute? That's what I would do. Then maybe they would fix the problem faster.
 
Good point Valky! At least for now.

That's what I plan to do now. I will put everything in as a cooking show. I had to combine two shows to a cooking show and 1/2 of the guests had direct s/h and almost everyone paid by credit card. It was a lot of extra work and I was pretty irritated since I didn't really have time to be reentering shows. I hope they change it. I use P3, but I miss a lot of things about PP. I don't think it was ready for wide circulation.
