Hi there,

I have been fiddling with the classifieds reference site and it already pretty much has everything I need, minus user registration, I wanted to check what it would look like if I imported everything into my genesis theme.

I exported everything from the reference installation including all the content created with the reference site.

The problem I picked up is that none of the listings were showing, is there possibly a tutorial on importing the classifieds reference into one's own theme?

Hi Coetzee,

Thank you for contacting Toolset support. We do not have any specific doc for this particular case. To install reference sites we have this doc:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/using-framework-installer-to-install-reference-sites/

To transfer content manually from your imported reference site > into your another existing site. You have two options to transfer the “Listings” custom post type into your new site:

1. Please go to Toolset >> Export / Import >>
There are multiple tabs at the top for each plugin (Types, Views, CRED, etc). You need to go to relevant tabs in Export/Import page and export import data for each plugin (in your case its Types) into the new site.

-- Doc here: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/exporting-and-importing-toolset-components-and-settings/

2. Alternatively, if you have moved listing posts already to the 2nd site, in that case you can add a new Custom post type using Types plugin and use same slug name as you have it in the original site (e.g. listings) -- this way the existing posts will also be shown up in the new Custom post type you create with the same name.

Thank you
