# Migrating from Pods to Meta Box

*Nathan’s Note: in the video at about 33 minutes, there was an issue with getting Meta Box fields into columns. This was my error. I was adding the value in the “Size of the Input Box” field rather than the “Columns” field.*  🤦‍♂️

Converting your website from using Pods to Meta Box for managing custom post types, custom fields, and custom taxonomies is now a much simpler process thanks to the new [Pods conversion tool from Meta Box](https://metabox.io/plugins/mb-pods-migration/).

In this livestream, Nathan Ingram will demonstrate how to swap Meta Box for Pods using the new conversion tool. He will also suggest a plan to deal with Pods usage in page builder and block layouts.
