Migrating old post items to new WP Job Manager items

    Can somebody help me out here? I’m really stuck at migrating old post items to the new “job_listing” post type posts. I’ve directly updated the post type in “wp_posts” table to make original posts reflect on the “All Job Listings” of the admin panel. My problem is all these migrating posts are not shown on the job page, which I found it may be the problem of some newly added post meta data in the new job post type. When I tried to update one individual job post, it was updated to reflect on the job page. How could I update all of them at one time, cause there are so many posts out there. I’m new to wordpress, hope anybody could help me. Thanks

    They likely have missing meta data. How many listings do you have? It would be “easier” to just save each listing so its fully populated.

    Otherwise you’d probably need to run some SQL queries to populate the data, similar to what was done in this thread https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/query-sql-for-expire-date?replies=10

    Hi Mikejolley, thanks for your reply. Yeah, actually I test one individual record, and just insert those missing meta data into wp_postmeta table.It works and is populated on the job page. There are some meta data fields which may be required to show the job on page. Thanks very much
