Joomla to WordPress Migration
Move your Joomla website content and supported data to WordPress with LitExtension’s All-in-One Migration service. Our experts help transfer Joomla articles, categories, sections, pages, images, media files, users, menus, SEO metadata, URLs, internal links, and other supported data to your new WordPress site.
Migrating from Joomla to WordPress is not always a simple copy-and-paste task. Joomla templates, modules, custom layouts, and extension-based features usually cannot be converted into WordPress exactly as they are. LitExtension helps you review your current Joomla setup, map supported data, run a demo migration, perform the full transfer, and check your WordPress site before launch.
What Data Can Be Migrated From Joomla to WordPress?
The data that can be migrated from Joomla to WordPress depends on how your Joomla website is structured and which extensions or custom components are being used. With LitExtension’s All-in-One Migration service, our experts review your current Joomla setup and define the supported migration scope before running the full transfer.

Who We Truly Are? Let Our Customer Define!
I am in the process of moving my existing website over to Shopify. As this is my 4th iteration of my website, I knew I didn’t want to do the migration part myself again! Using this service meant that I could concentrate on running my business for a couple of days while the migration was being done for me.
Lotus was phenomenal! She is detailed-oriented and works extremely fast! She helped with the migration from Wix to Shopify in no time. Thank you so much Lotus and everyone at LitExtension!
It was great service from those guys! Verry complex case with very old Woocommerce to new Woocommerce store!
I built our new Shopify site myself but with no developer experience. I really struggled migrating products, customers and order history. It was a bit overwhelming until I found Lit. They helped me set it up and did the contract. Emailed me at every stage and listened to my feedback. I found them on Thursday and by Monday the work was completed.
Took most of the work off our hands. The team were great and went out of their way to get the migration from J2store to Shopify completed. The time zone differences were slightly difficult but that didn’t stop the work from being completed.
