Using Pods for all Custom Post Types
-
Hey there Jim,
I just want to start out by saying that the Pods plugin is a thing of beauty and to offer access to such a plugin totally free is quite generous. Thank you for the time that you’ve put into its creation as well as the time that you’ve put into maintaining it. You have also put a lot of time in these forums answering people’s questions and for that I’m sure the community is very thankful. I hope that you can keep up the amazing work.
I have a question regarding existing content/post types. I recently switched from a different content management system to WordPress and after the migration I have a few new content types created by the plugin(s) that helped me to migrate my site. No problem there. One of the plugins that I used to migrate my site however is a premium plugin for which I do not want to pay a yearly fee or subscription for. I’m wanting to manage these new content types entirely with Pods. What is the best way to accomplish this?
When I turn off the migration plug-ins that I used to migrate my site I cannot see the custom content types in the wp-admin dashboard. If I go into Pods, I can extend the custom content types but I can’t really edit them with Pods or use the full power of Pods like I’d like to. Is there a trick to allow Pods to take control of an existing custom content/post type which was created by another plugin? If so, how would I go about doing it?
I figured I could possibly create a new content/post type using Pods and then use a plugin like Post Type Switcher to convert the pre-existing custom content types to the newly created Pods content type but that seems a little tedious as I have multiple content types and I’m not sure if it would even work 100%.
I thought I’d check with the community and see if anyone had any advice on how to manage preexisting content types with the Pods plugin.
Thanks again for all you do for the community Jim. Keep up the great work.
