Pods Convert is a plugin to convert a Pod type or Storage type to another.

== Description ==

Requires WP-CLI and access to the command line.

Run `wp pods-convert migrate --pod=your_pod`

Additional options can be:

* Change the pod type: `--new_type=post_type` (For example, when it was an Advanced Content Type "pod" before)
* Change the storage type: `--new_storage=meta` (For example, when it was Table-based storage "table" before)
* Change the pod name used for new pod: `--new_name=my_new_pod` (This will bypass the attempt to create a temporary pod / delete the old one, you will end up with two different pods which are identical and have the same content)
* Additional fields mapping: Coming soon
* Verbose logging in terminal: `--verbose`
* Currently only supports (and is tested against) Advanced Content Types converting to other pod types

`wp pods-convert migrate --pod=your_act --new_type=post_type --new_storage=meta --new_name=your_cpt`

The migration will create a temporary pod from the pod, migrate all items from that pod 100 at a time, then attempt to delete the pod and rename the temporary pod back to the original pod name.

== Future features ==

* Additional fields mapping (change which fields map to which fields)
* Convert from other content types to Advanced Content Types
