Migrating From WordPress: Pro Theme Shortcode Problems

[dstro003]

Hello support team,

I am currently moving away from my WordPress website and getting a new website developed on Laravel.

I am migrating all the content on the WordPress website to the new site.

Everything was going smoothly until I found out an issue with the shortcodes that the pro theme uses.

It appears that I am not able to access the links in the [CS_element_button] shortcode.

All the shortcodes seem to refer to a certain “id” like this [cs_element_button _id=“35” ]

Each [CS_element_button] shortcode has a link in it that the web developer cannot access and migrate onto my new website.

Is there any way to retrieve this information in the “id=” of the shortcode so I can migrate all the links onto my new website.

On my website, I use two different button shortcodes. the [CS_element_button] and the [x_button] shortcode. The [x_button] shortcode has the link typed out so I was able to successfully migrate the pages that had this particular shortcode. I think I have these two button shortcodes on my website because I upgraded from X to Pro and the X had the [x_button] button as a shortcode and then the Pro had the [CS_element_button] shortcode.

If you could provide me with any information regarding the {CS_element_button] on how to access the link in it so I can migrate all the WordPress pages and posts that contain this shortcode, that would be greatly appreciated!

I hope you have a Merry Christmas!

Hello @dstro003,

Thank for writing in! Please be advised that most of the contents and settings on the elements were saved somewhere in the post meta of your post or page. You may be able to display the element, the styling is separate and loaded first in the header which is why it may be difficult for you to just simply display the element by rendering the [CS_element_button] shortcode. The CS element will be rendered in two parts, 1.) the styling which is loaded first in the header along with the other page and element styles and 2.) the element content which is what you see on the page.

It would be best that you copy the html codes of the page than render the shortcodes because it will just give you more complications. Having to copy the html codes and the element css manually would be easier than to have several other issues in going through each of the shortcodes and the post meta of each of your pages.

Hope this helps.
