    I recently migrated Drupal content over to WP using FG to Drupal plugin. I need to import the Tool Types plugin, because some of the content was set up as custom nodes. I used the post type switcher to convert the custom posts over to regular posts and switched all the custom fields to the correct WP field locations. Is it ok to deactivate and uninstall this plugin now, or does it need to stay activated?

    If you created the Post Types, Fields and other things with Toolset Types, then you need the plugin.

    It stores everything in the Database and hence, if you deactivate it all the data is not appearing anymore in the Admin Area (but is still in the Database).

    As soon you reactivate it, the data is visible again in the Database.

    We have a DOC for migration from Drupal to WordPress:
    https://wp-types.com/2014/12/migration-guide-drupal-wordpress/
    https://wp-types.com/documentation/technical-guides/guide-drupal-developers-switching-wordpress/

    Thank you for the reply, I will read your doc.

    Please can you tell me why after a drupal migration with FG drupal to wordpress plugin, when I edit a product (I have migrated an Ubercart shop), I see:

    Your theme doesn’t have a template to display Product.
    Visit example Product
    Resolve

    ???

    But actually my product is displayed completely with pictures and everything is correct.

    Should I do something to fix this message ?
    Your theme doesn’t have a template to display Product.
    Visit example Product
    Resolve

    Thank you again for all.

    I’m going to deactivate the plugin and see if anything gets affected. I already migrated the content from Drupal—that’s why I needed your plugin (via suggestion by FG to Drupal). However, I converted all the custom fields (copy and pasted) into the standard content, excerpt and title fields, and then converted the custom posts into standard blog posts… so I’m guessing I’m all set with Tools plugin, but I’ll mark this as resolved once I know I’m all set. Thanks!

    Not sure why you needed Types to migrate from Drupal – and I am also not sure what “via suggestion by FG to Drupal” means.

    but of course, if now all data is stored in WordPress native Posts, and Fields, there is no need to keep Types.

    Thank you.

    FG DRUPAL TO WORDPRESS is the best plugin to migrate from drupal to wordpress.

    When using it we need your Types plugin to be able to import (migrate) content that we have on drupal but that wordpress does not know.

    After migration we can change the content type, for example if we migrate drupal BLOG content, we can convert it to wordpress POST, and then, once converted, it is possible to deactivate tyoe BUT if someone converts for example BLOGS To POSTS, then the redirections made by FG drupal to wordpress plugin to the new URL (blogs) won’t work (urls are different after migraton form drupal to wordpress, so the migration plugin does redirection).

    So it is better to keep Tyoes plugin activated and keep the BLOG content instead of converting to POSTS.

    I see ??

    But is that Plugin (FG DRUPAL TO WORDPRESS) actually advertising Types to be used for the process?

    I ask because we would, of course, want to know, and on top of that, we could maybe write some DOC, or get some nice co-work with them!

    Can you link me with the Plugin?

    Thanks!

    I think I needed to ask them to know how to migrate my other drupal content types and they told me that plugin as yours can help.

    I didn’t try any other plugin as yours is great and works right away.

    And yes, they do not provide a great doc, so maybe it is worth telling people that your plugin is THE ONE to use for easy simple migration of drupal content.

    Thank you again !

    Great!

    I will pass this to our Team Leader, he is also in charge of compatibility works… I think we will contact them!

    Thanks a lot for all the useful information!

    Yes to chime in. When using FG Drupal to WP, if Drupal content is set up as custom nodes.. there is a prompt recommending to use your plugin to convert those to custom post types.

    @makeonlineshops That’s exactly what I did.. converted blog posts to regular posts. I had concern about the redirects and reached out to FG Drupal support. They are handled inside FG plugin inside the table wp_fg_redirect. They actually also are connected the post ID, so when you change urls inside WP, the redirects automatically update! Which is awesome! I do have to keep FG Drupal activated, but Types doesn’t affect the redirects.

    Now that they are regular posts.. I deactivated Types and everything including the redirects are still working fine (NOTE: I did not migrate categories and tags, we are restructuring those.)

    Thanks for your input!
