    Hello

    I am using the chipmunktheme.com and it comes with a CPT called 'Resources' built within it
    Since the theme isn't properly coded, I am trying to move to a different theme, Generatepress

    1 I want to move the CPT to Metabox, I installed the ACF migrator extension and I didn't see the 'ACF Migration' option in the admin menu of Metabox. I am assuming it is because the CPT is coded into the theme

    How do I move to Metabox in this case?

    2 The CPT also made the URL this way https://domain.com/resource/post-name
    I used a code from the internet to make it https://domain.com/post-name

    In Metabox is there a way to remove the /resource/ part of the URL or do I have the use the code?

    Thanks

    Hi Zoro,

    1. You can use the extension MB Custom Post Type to create a post type with the same slug to manage the post type by Meta Box. Refer to this article https://metabox.io/move-custom-post-type-custom-field-data-from-pods-to-meta-box/

    2. The plugin helps you to rewrite the CPT slug doesn't mean removing it. If you want to remove the CPT slug from the URL, you can follow this topic to do that.

    I will try this tutorial

    3 There are some fields like 'Like' button which don't appear in the post editor
    Is there a way to know all the existing custom fields inbuilt in my theme so that I can know which ones to create in Metabox?

    Hi,

    Simply you can deactivate the plugin Meta Box to check the custom fields created by the theme.
