how to move custom post type to a new theme

  • hello

    I had a developer create me a template which has custom post types in it (library and practitioners).

    Now i’d like to switch to a new theme and when I activate it, the custom post types are gone.

    Is there a way to show them under the new theme?

    kindly,

    tom

  • hi Tom, custom post types can be defined in the theme’s functions.php file. If you search for ‘library’ & ‘practitioner’ in functions.php you may be able to find & copy the appropriate functions to your new theme’s functions.php.

    Templates to display the custom post types can be included in the theme’s files, but there are various ways this can be done. Look for files that include ‘library’ and ‘practitioner’ and copy them to your new theme’s directory.

    It’s unlikely it’ll be as simple as that but this should get you started!
