Issues with shortcode migration

Beta
#1

I have a site that was built with Pro that I took over from someone. From time to time there is another guy that seems pretty clueless who works on the site.

As such they built the ‘blog’ archive page outside of Cornerstone as a page utilising another plugin. After migrating the ‘blog archive’ disappeared. When I investigated the issue the migration had replaced all the code in the page with empty cornerstone html.

Essentially what started like this:

<!-- wp:ultimate-post/post-grid-parent {"cId":"<ins>7c15c193</ins>-<ins>1c6e</ins>-<ins>425f</ins>-<ins>9e90</ins>-<ins>081999f44f14</ins>","postId":"5208","currentPostId":"5208","grids":"[{\u0022blockId\u0022:\<ins>u00223faad3</ins>\u0022,\u0022name\u0022:\u0022ultimate-post_post-list-2\u0022}]","pagi":"[\u0022ultp-block-<ins>1a0189</ins>\u0022]"} -->

Ended up like what you see in the image.

Just a quick update. I restored the DB and run the migration again in Pro 6.6.3 and the issue is still present. As soon as I migrate to HTML the migration is removing everything on the page and replacing it with empty cs-content tags.

Hello @urchindesign,

Thank you for the inquiry.

If you can provide the login details, we’ll try to clone the site on our end to see if we can reproduce the issue. Please provide the information in the secure note.

Thanks. This is definitely an issue but I can’t provide access. Posted in the beta for Charlie so he is aware of it.

I’ll write a check to make sure it doesn’t migrate posts that stopped using Cornerstone. Thanks for sending our way, have a great day.

Hi Charlie, Essentially the guy that did this created a page outside of Cornerstone and instead of setting it to the blog archive page used a plugin to ‘fake’ the WordPress blog / posts archive page. The plugin is called PostX which they added without consulting me. It is this page that gets broken by the migration.

I’ve been trying to get the people to rather build the posts page with an archive layout but…
