Convert Editors — move pages from one editor to another

Free plugin

Change editor without starting over

You built your pages with one tool and now want another? Pick the pages, pick the new editor, check the preview and convert. Your content comes along.

Every conversion can be undone from the page’s Revisions.

Convert Editors

Free to choose

Your pages are not locked in

With many site builders, leaving the page builder means rewriting everything. Here you move pages with a few clicks.

Every editor of your site

Block editor, Classic Editor, Fresco and Vitality Builder: the list shows the ones you have, and new ones join by themselves.

Many pages at once

Filter by type, status, title or current editor, tick the ones you want and convert them together.

Undo at any time

Each converted page gets a new revision: open Revisions and go back to how it was.

Or make a copy

Prefer to keep the original? Convert into a new draft and compare the two side by side.

Safe with your team

Pages someone is editing right now are skipped, and everyone can convert only what they are allowed to edit.

Convert editors: the pages, their editor and the conversion options

Tools → Convert editors

Choose the pages, choose the editor

Filter by type, editor and status, tick the pages, pick the new editor and decide whether to convert in place or as a copy. Every conversion is a new revision, so you can always go back.

Convert Editors

Honest about it

Texts and pictures come along

Every editor has its own tricks. Words, headings, lists, images, links and columns travel well; special effects and animations of a page builder may not, and the preview says so.

  • Images keep their caption and link
  • Rows and columns stay rows and columns
  • A word check warns if text may be missing
  • Already published pages can be published again in one go

Questions

Can I move a page from Fresco to Vitality Builder?

Yes. Content passes through blocks on the way, so texts, images and layout come along while colors and effects are set again in the new builder.

What if I do not like the result?

Open the page’s Revisions and restore the one before the conversion. Or convert into a copy from the start.

Do I need it to switch a single page?

No: “Edit with…” in the editor does that. Convert Editors is for many pages at once, with a preview.

Goes well with

Plugins that work well together

Classic Editor

The editor WordPress had before blocks: a word processor with Visual and Text tabs, two rows of buttons and Add Media. Pages stay ordinary blocks, so you can switch back at any time.

Fresco

A visual page builder, free: drag sections and widgets onto the page and style them per device, with site colors and fonts, templates and an atomic mode with classes and variables. Pages stay normal Cleitext entries.

Layout Import

Moving from a WordPress theme whose page builder left codes like [av_section] in your pages? Turn those pages into ordinary blocks you can edit, with sections, columns, texts, images and buttons.
