Can't Find Custom Posts

[jarvisteam]

Just switched from WP Pro Real Estate 2.0 to Agent Press and the custom listings that were in WP Pro Real Estate are missing.

I'm sure it's an easy fix like registering the custom posts, but I'd like to use the plugin, the design is so nice.

Thanks!

Without knowing either product, I'd guess that the listings were created with a differently named custom post type.

You can either:
* Hack Agent Press plugin to use the previous CPT name and configuration
* Build a new plugin, like Agent Press plugin, that utilises whatever the previous CPT data was.
* See if the developers of your previous theme have a plugin version of their product that you can use.
* Amend the relevant entries in the posts database table to use whatever AgentPress plugin uses.

All have pros and cons compared to each other, and all of them are unfortunately a bit of work. Even if the CPT getrs corrected, you may also have to adjust taxonomies, metaboxes and custom meta data.

You've just discovered why custom post types should be registered in a plugin, not in a theme.

Well at least you've given me enough to go off of.  Thinking a custom plugin or db edit would be the best route to go.

If someone else runs into this, I found Custom Post UI to pull the post types out then I use Post Type Converter (dangerous) and converted the custom post to the agentpress custom post.
