    If you browse your databse using phpMyAdmin, what do you see in the class_key column of the artiiii resource?

    And when you right-click the same resource in the manager, select Quick Update, what do you see in the Resource Type field (Settings)

        Sorry, for option two, there was a typo in Step 1. Try this:
        // Step 1: Change the parent's class_key
UPDATE `modx_site_content` SET `class_key` = replace(class_key, 'ArticlesContainer', 'CollectionContainer') WHERE id=17;
// Step 2: Change the posts (child resources) class_key
UPDATE `modx_site_content` SET `class_key` = replace(class_key, 'Article', 'modDocument') WHERE parent=17;
// Step 3 => Clear Cache in the manager


        Basically, you're changing the class_key of the artiii Articles container from ArticlesContainer to CollectionContainer. For your blog posts, you're changing the class_key from Article to modDocument

            You need to set the parent column of the blog posts to Quill's container Id:
            // Step 1 => change the parent id
UPDATE `modx_site_content` SET `parent` = replace(parent, 17, 3) WHERE parent=17;
// Step 2 => Clear Cache in the manager

              Now its here. Working. But im facing a new problem. All the posts are showing on in articles template.
              I am going to install a new modx and do this again, and this time, before importing my wordpress posts, im going to change the article's default template to Quill's Blog Post template. So when I move Articles to Quill, I will not face this.
              Or is there any other quick solution in your phpmyadmin trick ??

                You don't need to reinstall MODX. You update the template the same way the class_key was updated, except the field name changes:

                // Step 1 => change the template of the blog posts
UPDATE `modx_site_content` SET `template` = replace(template, your_articles_template_id, quill_template_id) WHERE parent=17;
// Step 2 => Clear Cache in the manager

                There's also an extra that can do this kind of things: Batcher

                  I changed id from 17 to 3 coz there is nothing in 17. Thanks a lot. I have few more questions, but I will start a new topic for that.
                  Thanks a lot sir.
