I have a website built with Custom Post Types, Custom Fields and Taxonomies built with Pods including bi-directional relationship. I purchased MetaBox as a long term plan to migrate entirely to from Pods to MB. I know I can easily move the custom post types, fields and taxonomies from Pods to MB, the challenge is the existing relationships. While waiting for the best approach to handle this, there are pressing needs to create more post types, custom field and taxonomies. My question is can I go ahead in install MB and use it to create the new request while still having Pods running

Hello,

I test to use both Meta Box and Pods on a local site and don't see any issues. However, I'm not sure of all effects when using both plugins. I recommend migrating the Pods data to Meta Box and managing all data with Meta Box.
If you have an issue when migrating the relationships, please let me know.

Thanks for the reply. I know how to migrate the Custom Post Types from Pods to MN but not the relationships. Do you have link to articles or videos for this

Stumbled on MB Pods Migration plugin by MB. Worked but rendered all my elementor templates inaccessible. Had to restore the database. Wish there was a way for both to coexist while rebuilding the templates such that I will delete the templates as after confirmation and then deactivating pods after completion.

The relationships also migrated to Meta Box but in a different option to use. There are no specific settings, you can just click on the Migrate button and the migration plugin will do the rest. Please follow the documentation https://metabox.io/move-data-from-pods-to-meta-box/

If you still experience an issue with relationships from Pods to Meta Box, please let me know.
