    Hi,
    The Toolset Migration doesn't completely migrate everything. Custom post types are made, custom fields are made, custom taxonomies are made, but none of the content of the custom fields is being migrated. Instead all content is removed. I checked the database and all fields are empty.
    There are no errors or anything during or after the migration process. The process itself takes a couple of hours, because it scans all posts in the posts table, not just the custom post types. My site has over 47.000 records in the posts table.
    I have all the extensions activated, except for the MB Custom Table and MB Rank Math
    For now I have restored a recent backup. I have no errors logs or screenshots to show you.

    Hi Ronald,

    Can you please create a staging site and share the site credentials via this contact form?
    https://metabox.io/contact/

    I will try to use this plugin to migrate data on my end and see if there is an error on your site.

    This will have to wait a couple of days. I am migrating to a new web host, where I can create a staging environment. I will let you know as soon as this is done.

    Unfortunately it still doesn't work. None of the custom fields are migrated. I have sent you screenshots by mail.

    I have done some testing myself. I have noticed the following:
    - The custom post types and custom fields and also the custom taxonomies get migrated.
    - The content of the custom fields disappears.
    - All posts, regular as well as cpt's get the custom fields of all cpt's added in the postmeta table. So a regular post gets the custom fields of four different cpt's, without any content. The table gets 3x as big! Not good...
    I would like some advice please: if I export the posts of the cpt's with the standard WordPress export option, delete all custom posts, create the custom post types, custom fields and custom taxonomies with Meta Box and, after disabling Toolset, finally import the posts, will I get the result I want?

    The problem is solved now. I have manually worked my way through the conversion.
