I'm writing a data conversion to merge one custom post type (Faculty) into another (Person).
Merging the actual CPT records is straightforward, but the two post types have similar custom taxonomies that I need to deal with:
- Faculty has a custom taxonomy,
faculty-type
, which has both terms and data - Person has an empty custom taxonomy,
person-type
, which has neither terms nor data
I'd like to move the faculty-type
taxonomy, including both terms and data, into the empty person-type
taxonomy—so that when the Faculty-to-Person conversion finishes, all of the faculty-type
data will be present as person-type
data for the new Person records.
How can move the taxonomy data from Faculty to Person?
