[Support request] Divi “projects” to GP

[Matt]

Hi guys

In the process of migrating to GP from Divi. There is a third option in Divi (alongside posts and pages) of “projects”. I have around 200 of these which simply disappear when activating GP. Is there a solution aside from recreating them all as posts?

Hi there,

i assume “Projects” are a custom post type.
Is there an option in Divi for creating those ?
As you would need to know what it is doing to create those, and then replicate the register post type options using code or another plugin.

Hi – yes in Divi it’s a separate type. For now I’ve put that part of my site onto a subdomain running Divi, which you can see here. Would be good to have them on the main domain for there are 200+ so if it needs manual recreation I can’t.

You would need to register a new custom post type in WordPress that has the same name which looks to be project.
Theres the core functions to do that:

https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/post-types/registering-custom-post-types/

Or plugins like Custom Post Type UI.

I generally construct them by hand, there is this handy site for helping do that:

If you can register the post type, then we can point you in the right direction for setting up its templates.
