Point Finder Directory – Directory & Listing WordPress Theme V2.3.1

Description

AIT Directory Migrations is a specialized WordPress plugin designed to facilitate data transfers between AIT-branded directory themes. When upgrading or switching between different AIT directory theme versions, this tool ensures that listing content, custom field values, taxonomies, and associated metadata carry over intact.

Data Preservation During Theme Switches

Directory websites accumulate structured data including business listings, location information, contact details, operating hours, and custom taxonomy assignments. Switching themes without a migration tool risks losing this structured data or breaking field mappings. AIT Directory Migrations maps fields between source and target themes automatically.

Supported Data Types

• Listing content — titles, descriptions, featured images, and gallery attachments
• Custom fields — phone numbers, addresses, websites, email contacts, and theme-specific fields
• Taxonomies — categories, locations, tags, and custom directory taxonomies
• Metadata — ratings, review counts, opening hours, and map coordinates

Migration Workflow

The plugin provides a step-by-step migration wizard within the WordPress admin. You select the source theme configuration, choose the target theme, review the field mapping, and execute the migration. A progress indicator shows the transfer status, and a summary report lists any items requiring manual review.

Rollback Capability

Before executing a migration, the plugin creates a snapshot of the current data state. If the migration produces unexpected results, you can revert to the pre-migration snapshot without manual database restoration.
