  • Hey there Jony

    If you still need some help, shoot me a message at [email protected] and if you can give me a little info about your site as in how many post types are present, how many taxonomies, how many field groups, that will help me give you some insight into how you can migrate them. I wil lalso say that it may be worth taking a look at your site and seeing if all of the migrated Custom Post Types, Taxonomies and fields are needed.

    If you have already done it, I’m hoping it worked as it can be a tad tedious. An automated script would be awesome.

    Cheers

  • Hey Oxygensmith

    That is a really strange situation and one that I did not run into thankfully. My issue was that it did not map the featured images so I was left with 700 articles that I had to manually map images to. From what I saw when migrating from Drupal (7 in my case), the body content was pretty straight forward as the content area was probably left unaltered in the Drupal install I was migrating. My only suggestion would be that there may be a custom configuration at the Drupal end that is attached to the content body which is causing issues with the content mapping.

    Just something that I wanted to add. Once you migrate the site, it will most likely tell you that you need to install Toolset Types to manage the Custom Post Types and the Taxonomies. Once you install Toolset Types, it pulls in Bootstrap as well which it says is needed to run the Toolset Types plugin and will not let you use it without it. Luckily I was able to map the CPT and Tax to the CPT UI plugin which is pretty cool. I replaced the Toolset Post, Term and Meta fields with ACF.

    Not sure if this at all helped. Just giving some insight from what I went through with the FG plugin.

    Cheers

  • I have to say that I am glad to see that I am not the only one with Toolset issues. I was migrating a Drupal site that said that I needed to install Toolset. I actually thought it looked good even though I was hesitant to install it. Managing CPT and Tax looked so easy. I then started having sooooo many issues with mapping to the fields and wasted countless hours with little to show. I guess I was lead to believe that the fields offered by toolset were inclusive to the plugin so it made it easier to use and apparently better than any other field plugins out there. Ummmmmm. No. As it stands, ACF still kicks it and does a better job than anything else out there. Could not imagine WordPress without it. Well worth the money. I guess we learn from our mistakes but glad that there are others that are willing to share how they managed to migrate away. Thanks to all of the suggestions.

  • A massive thank you daretothink. Much appreciation!
    (And apologies for taking so long to get back to your message).
    All the best.

  • Okay.
    Not sure how it goes but I have semi fixed it.
    From what it looks like, you cannot have fileds named the same thing even if they are under different ACF’s (when used in options). I put a prefix of publisher_ on the publisher table and a prefix of business_on the busiess ACF. That sort of fixed it. Some data disappeared, Elvis was spotted at 7/11.

    Onward and upward.

  • The XML looks pretty standard. On a side note, I also noticed that data would disappear when you change variable names but usually only on the individual fields.

    What did you mean..

    -After clicking “update” inside the fieldgroup all fields > #62 disapper for no reason.

  • Okay. Worked it out.

    I needed to change

    if( have_rows('service', 'services') ):
    while( have_rows('service', 'services') ): the_row();
    

    to

    if(get_field('service', 7)):
    while(has_sub_field('service', 7)):
    

    the second variable needs to be the post id not the page name.

    Found the code on the ACF documentation.
    http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/how-to/how-to-get-values-from-another-page/

    Under the heading: Working with the Repeater Field.

    I thought I had read the page all the way through.
    Hope it helps others.
