I can say if I stablish a relationship between a two old Custom Post, like (Author:) J.K. Rowling and (Book:) Harry Potter, the link send me to the old domain. With the inspector I can see the old domain, and the templates of CPT have the name of the fields and Pods (of course). * Plugin Author [Jory Hogeveen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keraweb/) * (@keraweb) * [3 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-permalink-on-migration/#post-16577481) * Hi [@jordiwordpress](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jordiwordpress/) * Please share this template-part so we can check the code that is used to create the link. * Thanks, Jory * Thread Starter [jordiwordpress](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jordiwordpress/) * (@jordiwordpress) * [3 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-permalink-on-migration/#post-16577691) * Is that ok?
