[Resolved] Having trouble with associations after importing relationships/post type/data…

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: I would like to export content from one site and import it in another site. The content includes multiple custom post types, their custom fields, taxonomies, and post relationships. When I import this content into another site, I see error messages in Toolset > Import > Associations tab stating that many of my post relationships cannot be imported. "Missing: Can't Find Intermediary Post with GUID" -and- "Missing: Can't Find Intermediary Post with Title" appears for these posts.

Solution: In this case the errors are all shown for M2M post relationships. These relationships are established using an intermediary custom post type. That post must be exported along with the two other custom posts in the post relationship. You may need to turn on the visibility of those intermediary post types to be able to export them. After exporting from the old site and importing those intermediary posts in the new site, the association process in Toolset > Import > Association tab should be able to find all the missing intermediary posts and migrate the post relationships successfully.

Sure, you can mention in the ticket details that you'd prefer to assign the ticket to Christian because of the timezone. Either I will grab it from the queue or another supporter will assign it to me.

FYI my normal schedule is Sunday - Thursday so if you have a pressing issue please bear in mind I am unavailable on Fridays and Saturdays.
