Tell us what you are trying to do?

I have migrated content from a Drupal site to a WP site and it has created new post types. I want to map the content from the new post types to the already created in use post types on my site.

Is there any documentation that you are following?

No

Is there a similar example that we can see?

I have a post type 'FireAid Projects' and I want to map all the posts from 'Projects' over to it

What is the link to your site?

hidden link

Hi Alan,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

I believe the best plan of action here is to use the Post relationships to relate the contents from one post type to another.

Have a look at our documentation below as this should be able to guide you this process.

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,

I am reasonably new to Toolset but I am not sure this helps me. Could I use a 'Post Type Switcher' plugin or perhaps export the content and re-import it into the correct post type?

I am not sure how to do either though.

Hi Alan,

I would recommend using the post type switcher plugin to change the post type.

However are you clear on how the relationship is setup in Types and how to relate the posts to each other?

If you're not sure please let me know and i'll be more than happy to clarify for you.

Thanks,
Shane
