CTP? Copy categories?

phonebook — Mon, 02 Feb 2015 20:19:57 +0000

Hi,
Two questions.
1. I was going to do an import per the instructions here:
http://docs.wpgeodirectory.com/core-general/#csv

This line is unclear to me:
post_type: for example gd_place or gd_event; this CTP has to created in WP admin before you import!

What is a CTP? Is that a Custom Post Type (e.g. CPT)???? If so, where in wp-admin do you create them? With a different plugin? Or if I create an event or place, will it create the custom post type?

2. Is there a way to copy categories from one WP GeoDir site to another easily?

Thanks!

Hello,
yes it is CPT, Custom Post Type, you can add/edit CPT using the Custom Post Type addon here

About the categories, I don’t know how doable it is..I will alert Stiofan about this

Ok, thanks. I had thought they might have a mistake and meant “CPT” not “CTP” on that page, but wasn’t sure and before I do an import wanted to verify.

Regarding the CPT, that page says “post_type: for example gd_place or gd_event; this CTP has to created in WP admin before you import! ” while the page you linked to says “As standard GeoDirectory comes with one CPT called “Places”, new CPT’s will have their own dedicated sidebar menu and management system just like Places.”

The only thing I am importing is my places from GeoThemes so I should not need another type.

On the import page it lists “gd_place” for the “post_type” and the CSV-SAMPLE.csv also shows “post_type” and “gd_place”. Is the correct one “Places” or “gd_place” like the CSV Sample shows? Or is gd_place just mapped to “Places” internally?

Thanks!

gd_place is the name of the cpt, Places is the label, so you should go for gd_place in your CSV

No there is no easy way at the moment to export/import categories other than direct sql on the database.

Thanks

To copy the category in the database, is it sufficient to copy the
wp_terms
wp_term_relationships
and
wp_term_taxonomy

tables?

Thanks

It’s harder than that.

You should take:

wp_options
wp_terms

In wp_options though, there are a bunch of other settings other than categories.

With Stiofan we are discussing the urgency of providing an Import/export addon that would take care of every aspect.

Thanks
