    On the site, I have created multiple cpt’s as categories. Problem is that users will occasionally post in wrong cpt. For instance user posted a “Merchandise” listing in a “Blockchain” CPT. I have to move that listing but am running into several issues.

    1. Is there any way in the existing platform to move the listing from one cpt to another

    2. If I had to create a script, I see the pending listing in xx_geodir_gd_blockchain_detail to pull the listing from, but do not see an xx_geodir_gd_place_detail to post it back into. Where are gd_place listings posted?

    3. I only see three detail tables but have 8 categories. Are these tables created when a listing is created?

    Thanks,
    Joel

    Hi Joel,

    I am a it confused about this but it might just be your use of the terminology between CPT and category.

    1. No
    2. That table should exist.
    3. You should have a table for each CPT, its created when you create the CPT.
    Categories don’t create tables just CPTs

    Thanks,

    Stiofan

    Hello,

    It might help if we can look at your setup. Please post your site URL and WP Admin credentials in a private reply so we can see your settings.

    If you are asking how to move listings from one CPT to another, then there is built in export and import for listings.

    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-export/

    If you want to automate that in some way, you could add a custom field checkbox for ‘export’ and then build an app against the REST API to query for listings with that field, GET, and then POST to different CPT, and delete them.

    Documentation for the API is here. https://wpgeo.directory/rest-api/

    If you have questions about implementation for the API we will be happy to help.

    For other questions about tables, we will need to see your settings.

    I am guessing the other tables are there but are on page 2 (usually paging is at the top of the list). There is no automated way to move the listings and if you were to build a script you would need to account for any missmatch in fields.

    Stiofan – you were right. Thanks. I do not use PHPAdmin often and did not realize it did that.

    Alex – I think that is the best we will be able to do so will create a hidden, admin only field where I can mark ‘for_export’ and then can export that field. As for import, I understand what Stiofan is saying that, while the cpt’s are fundamentally the same now, we will have to map them into the proper format prior to importing them into another cpt.

    I will look into the api.

    Thanks for your help guys.
