Hello supporters,

I'm using same database on 2 sites. But, one site have cron job and another don't. I need to migrate data (custom fields) from one to another site. Is there an elegant way to do this without raw export/import mysql database table?

Thank you

Hello, thx but I dont need to migrate all site. I need to migrate only post type content (custom fields), wich will overwrite existing content (also custom fields created by types)

I need solution for that.

Ok - then another option is to use module manager here:
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/using-toolset-module-manager/

OR
Alternative way would be:
=> Toolset => Export/Import

But please note that this will only used to export/import Toolset plugin settings not the content(data). For example: if you have custom field and have 10 posts, it will only export/import custom field setting not posts.

Ok, but with module I'm able to export content also?

That is what I tried to explain you with following lines:

But please note that this will only used to export/import Toolset plugin settings not the content(data). For example: if you have custom field and have 10 posts, it will only export/import custom field setting not posts.

You can not import content. Its possible to import/export settings only not content.

No - its NOT possible to import/export content using module manager. Module Manager is just to export/import the structure/settings.

If you want to export/import content you may try WordPress default import/export from:
=> Tools => Export/ Import
OR
Find another plugin that fits your needs. For example:
=> https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-all-export/
