 * Hello, I’ll try to make this short.
 * I used a plugin to export drupal to wordpress which is dependent on ACF and CPT
   UI. It worked fine.
 * Now I want to export only certain post types at a time. For example, “resort 
   specials”. This doesn’t work. I have also tried to export/import “all content”
   and this doesn’t work either. I have all the post types, taxonomies, fields and
   field groups, and ACF’s… but the content/data is not “there”.
 * Any assistance would be wonderful. Thanks in advance.

 * The first and biggest thing I’d check is if you have `Can Export` set to true
   on the post type. It defaults to false.
 * The second thing I’d end up checking is if when you’ve performed the export, 
   you’ve confirmed that the intended data is in fact in the resulting file, and
   accurate.
 * Beyond that, it’s hard for me to say what may or may not be going on as those
   import/export tools aren’t something we do anything with from our codebase, so
   it’d need to be dug into and troubleshot.

 * Thanks for the swift reply!
 * Where do I set the post types to ‘can export’?

 * Swifter reply:
 * Should be in the long page where you set up the rest of the settings for registering
   with CPTUI. A find in page for “export” should bring you right to the setting
   and true/false dropdown for it.
