Migrating from one theme to Pro

Hi -

How do I migrate a client from WP Bakery to Pro?

I’d love to install Pro, build the pages, while keeping her Bakery theme intact.

Is this possible? If not, what’s the best way to migrate a site?

Hi Scott,

Thank you for writing in, that is actually troublesome to do. What you need to do is set up a staging site, then clone the current live site. You can follow the migration method provided here to clone the site on your staging server, or ask your hosting, they might have a quick method of cloning the site to a staging.

Then you’re going to work on the staging site leaving the live site untouched until the staging site is done converting to PRO and ready to migrate back to the live domain. There is no automatic way of converting the pages from WP Bakery to PRO’s Content Builder, so you need to redo the pages manually on PRO’s Content Builder.

After you’ve done converting the site and its pages to PRO, you need to perform the migration method again, but this time it’s from the staging server (now in PRO) to the live site.

Hope this shed some lights,
Cheers
