I have a site with existing custom post types and while the default ones show up on a new Toolset Types install, the custom ones do not. So rather than showing the 8 or so CPTs (created using CPT UI and ACF) that preexisted my Toolset Types install, it only shows the default Posts, Pages, and Media. Do you have a method / feature / guide for migrating my ACF / CPT UI install to Toolset Type.
Hello and thank you for contacting Toolset support.
Unfortunately, we do not have detailed documentation on how to migrate post types. We do have an article about migrating custom fields. Check it here https://toolset.com/documentation/migrating-from-acf-to-toolset/
Regarding the migration of post types, I would suggest the following:
- Note all the configuration of the post types in ACF or CPT UI(slug, other options such as hierarchical, exclude from search, rewrite permalink, etc.).
- Deactivate the plugin(ACF or CPT UI).
- Create the custom post type in Toolset, and use the same configuration that you noted previously.
At this stage, you should have the post type appear in the admin area, and any existing posts in the post type should appear in its list.
Does it make sense? However, if you still need assistance with a special case, let me know, and I can log into your website and check or I can create a test site on our installation to work on it.
My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
