Has anyone discovered a way to convert a site from one page builder to another? Example: A site built in WP Bakery to Elementor? The biggest pain in the ass is removing all the VC code and trying to salvage the content -- Just wondering if anyone has a secret other than scraping the original site?

Thanks!

There isn't really an easy way to do it unfortunately. The following steps are probably the easiest.

1) Download & Install Elementor from the official WordPress site. As of March 2020 the site will not crush if you have both plugins activated.

2) Create a test page with Elementor and add several standard shortcodes on the page. Make sure the theme you are using doesn’t conflict with Elementor and its elements. If you notice any issues, fix your theme js/css.

3) Disable WPBakery and use ShortCode cleaner to sweep out the shortcodes created by this builder.

4) User Elementor’s editor to rebuild the Header & Footer of your site.

5) Rebuild your pages with Elementor.

6) Re-save your posts with Elementor.

7) Go through your site and make the final touch ups.

Oh wow -- I've never heard of Shortcode Cleaner! Sometimes I have to redesign sites with nearly 1000 pages -- Very time consuming. In the past I have configured Scrapes to do the job, but it is never 100%. I am going to spend some time working with this -- I appreciate the feedback - Definitely an option I will explore in depth!

Thanks!!
