Thanks for your help. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/70bd7950a329d1aa1d5c249a10742fe54a4aef434554bdc2484df2652fe777ac? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great plugin, but lacks basic functionality](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-but-lacks-basic-functionality/)󠁿 [alexene22](https://profiles.wordpress.org/alexene22/) September 28, 2023 1 reply You have to create the custom posts by hand, one by one, from the admin. If you import them bulk, the custom table will not be updated. I have a custom post already created that I want to transfer to custom table; if I go to a post and update it, nothing happens, the data is not saved in the custom table. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/05cd834b6553523123d8f01c9b13cd82df56b42d3ce77aaa979b94651c8ad10b? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great plugin – 5 stars](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-5-stars-7/)󠁿 [tomo55555](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tomo55555/) September 16, 2023 This plugin is very useful.

This plugin is a must for anyone who use ACF. Also it works perfect with the JSON method from ACF. Nothing if more fast than this combination….
