Pods Convert is a plugin to convert a Pod type or Storage type to another.

Description

Requires WP-CLI and access to the command line.

Run wp pods-convert migrate --pod=your_pod

Additional options can be:

  • Change the pod type: --new_type=post_type (For example, when it was an Advanced Content Type "pod" before)
  • Change the storage type: --new_storage=meta (For example, when it was Table-based storage "table" before)
  • Change the pod name used for new pod: --new_name=my_new_pod (This will bypass the attempt to create a temporary pod / delete the old one, you will end up with two different pods which are identical and have the same content)
  • Additional fields mapping: Coming soon
  • Verbose logging in terminal: --verbose
  • Currently only supports (and is tested against) Advanced Content Types converting to other pod types

wp pods-convert migrate --pod=your_act --new_type=post_type --new_storage=meta --new_name=your_cpt

The migration will create a temporary pod from the pod, migrate all items from that pod 100 at a time, then attempt to delete the pod and rename the temporary pod back to the original pod name.

Future features

  • Additional fields mapping (change which fields map to which fields)
  • Convert from other content types to Advanced Content Types
