 * Dear Community,
 * I would like to export custom post types from two different plugins:
 * Directories Pro ([https://directoriespro.com/documentation/](https://directoriespro.com/documentation/))
   [
   https://aljezur.life/local-business/cafeteria-da-maria/]
 * and
 * Events Calendar Modern Tribe ([https://theeventscalendar.com/](https://theeventscalendar.com/))
   [
   https://aljezur.life/event/escola-circo-vagamundo/2020-09-30/]
 * Both post-types don’t offer me some very important fields:
 * Location
    GPS Venue many other custom fields.
 * I looked up the SQL database and realized this data is not saved in the post 
   itself but in a another table with a reference.
 * Is it still possible export all this data?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fmissing-field-when-exporting-custom-post-types%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * You’d have to write custom PHP functions to export the data from the custom tables:
   [https://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/export/pass-data-through-php-functions/](https://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/export/pass-data-through-php-functions/).
 * There’s a simple example here: [https://gist.github.com/trey8611/6a2caa8c3cc3ccd56ad02886e2ec49fb](https://gist.github.com/trey8611/6a2caa8c3cc3ccd56ad02886e2ec49fb).

   follow up in this thread if you still have questions.
