Pods conflict with woocommerce

    I created a site here that uses pods to capture and display information about the company’s products. Now they want to add a woocommerce store to the site to sell those products. I have a test bed environment that contains a copy of the production site. When I install woocommerce on that site, I run into all kinds of problems, I think because I the pod I created for the original site is called “Products”, which conflicts with the “Products” custom post type that woocommerce uses.

    Can you provide any advice about how I can adjust the pods configuration in the original site so that when I install woocommerce I don’t run into the conflict over the Products post type?

    I’m thinking I may need to create a new pod named something other than “Products” (let’s assume that I name it “Offerings”), export the original product content I created with pods, and then import it back into the site and load it into the Offerings pods…or something like that. Then I could delete the original Products pod, and hopefully I can then install and use woocommerce with out a problem.

    Thanks very much in advance for any suggestions.

    It would be best to go into your Pod editor, then click on the pod name ‘products” and edit it, renaming it to something like “offerings”. This will automatically move the post data to the new post type for you, you’ll just have to adjust your theme / code to look for that different post type name as there are probably references somewhere in PHP or in shortcodes that we don’t adjust.

    Thank you. That worked nicely. Besides doing this, the only other thing I have to do is to go to each of the pages that contains a reference to one of the the page template that I created for the Products pod and change those references to the “Offerings” template. All seems good now after installing woocommerce! :0)
