I recently switched from using Advanced Custom Fields plugin to using Toolset to create custom fields. Ultimately, I'd like to deactivate the Advanced Custom Fields plugin.

Here's my challenge, I have about 1,200 custom posts that each use two custom fields created by ACF. Is there any way to edit all the posts in bulk to move the content from the two ADF fields to the two new custom fields I've created using Toolset?

I'd hate to have to edit all 1,200 posts by hand!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Cheers,
Laura

Dear Laura,

I don't think you need to move the content, you just need to convert those custom fields to under Types control, see our document:
How do I convert existing custom types and fields to Types control
