Problem:

The customer wanted to replace a third-party plugin that registers a custom post type and taxonomies with Toolset, while keeping the existing content and managing it through Toolset.

Solution:

The recommendation was to remove the original PHP registration from the third-party plugin and recreate the custom post type in Toolset using the same slug. Existing posts would remain available as long as the slug stays the same. For custom fields, Toolset’s Post Field Control can be used to take over management of existing fields. It was also noted that some plugin-specific functionality may not be transferable and should be tested.

Problem:

The issue here is that the user is unable to see their Custom Post Type in the Toolset form post selection dropdown.

Solution:
This occurs when your Custom Post type is not declared as publicly_queryable

To enable this option you will need to go to Toolset -> Post Types and edit your Custom Post type and you should see publicly_queryable under Options.
