Support » Plugins » Creating custom post types from existing database tables

  • I’m working on a website that uses an external system to sell tickets. This ticket system provides a WordPress plugin that automatically creates and updates two new WordPress database tables: events and shows. That’s all this plugin does.

    I need to create custom post types (events and shows) with all the data from these database tables, but I can’t seem to find out how to do that… any help to point me in the right direction?

    I have now found this: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/working-custom-database-tables-wordpress/

    That’s coming close to what I’m looking for I guess, but it’s not the way to create custom post types (with custom fields) from the data…

    I have however used the Database Browser plugin mentioned in this tutorial to test if the database tables created by the ticket system plugin were there and that was the case. I can see all the data there too. All I need right now is some help on how to access it correctly and convert it to posts automatically. Anybody?
