I’ve inherited a site that has a ton of custom coding that is no longer supported and needs to be pulled into more accessible frameworks. There are 5 different sets of custom post types with fields, taxonomies, data, etc. that have a tone of coding and files scattered throughout the custom theme the last developer created.
I was curious if anyone has migrated posts like this into a plugin like PODs or Custom Posts Type UI/ACF or JetEngine. Would it be a simple export/import to move the data?
Any advice or tips much appreciated.

What is it about the custom post types that’s not supported? It might be quicker and easier to just update the code and remove anything that’s deprecated.
None of what you said made much sense. There’s no need to move data – CPT’s are regular posts and live in the posts table.
“More accessible framework”? Not sure what this means.
By all means, move the *code* from the theme folder into a plugin, but that’s a whole other thing.
