How to migrare Webflow to WordPress with LitExtension?
Step 1. Technical consultation with LitExtension experts
In this first step, our team of experts will work closely with you to get a full understanding of your Webflow to WordPress migration project. This is where we lay the foundation for a successful transfer by carefully analyzing the details of your website. We begin by defining the scope of the migration, which includes assessing the size, structure, and overall complexity of your current Webflow site. This helps us identify any specific challenges early on and prepare the right solutions. Next, we determine the total number of entities, such as pages, blog posts, media files, and custom content types, that need to be moved to your new WordPress site. This count allows us to plan the migration timeline and resources accurately. Finally, we take a close look at your custom data, such as unique layouts or special content fields, so we can design a tailored migration approach that fits your website’s needs. With this personalized preparation, we ensure that every piece of your data will be transferred smoothly and efficiently. With our experts by your side from the beginning, you can feel confident that your website is in good hands.Step 2. Pre-migration setup
Once the technical consultation is complete, it’s time to get your website ready for the Webflow to WordPress migration. In this step, we help you complete all the necessary pre-migration setup tasks to ensure a smooth and error-free process. In this step, we will start by preparing both your Source Cart and Target Cart by:- Ensuring your hosting provider meets WordPress requirements (latest PHP, MySQL, and sufficient memory).
- Gathering required credentials, such as the URL to your WordPress and Webflow site and the suitable access to your database for data extraction.
Step 3. Demo migration running
Before we perform the full migration, we run a demo migration to give you a preview of how your data will appear in WordPress. This important step ensures that everything is mapped correctly and working as expected before moving all your content. During the demo migration, LitExtension will:- Select a small portion for each of your data types (products, customers, and orders). Please note that if your total entities are less than 2000, we will skip the Demo Migration unless requested to perform.
- Start a demo migration of a sample dataset to check accuracy and compatibility.
- Validate the migration results using our auto-test program.
- Make necessary adjustments according to your feedback.
Step 4. Perform full Webflow to WordPress migration
After you’ve approved the demo results, we proceed with the full Webflow to WordPress migration. This is where all your data is securely and automatically transferred from your Webflow site to your new WordPress environment. Our system is designed to handle the migration process with speed and precision, minimizing downtime and ensuring data integrity. Throughout the migration, your original Webflow site remains untouched and fully functional, ensuring that you won’t experience any interruptions to your live site during the transfer..Step 5. Migration results testing
Once the full Webflow to WordPress migration is complete, the next step is to thoroughly test your new WordPress site to ensure that every piece of content has been transferred accurately and that the site functions as expected. At LitExtension, we follow a two-phase testing process designed to catch errors early and ensure a high-quality outcome:- Automated testing: Our Auto-Test System performs an initial scan of your migrated site. It checks for missing content, broken links, formatting issues, and any structural inconsistencies. This automated step helps us quickly identify and fix common migration errors.
- Manual review by QA team: After the automated check, our Quality Assurance (QA) specialists carry out a detailed manual review. They validate the accuracy of transferred data to ensure your new WordPress site aligns with your original Webflow.
Step 6. Post-migration tasks
Since your current website operates normally during the Webflow to WordPress migration, it may continue to receive new content during the process. To ensure your site stays fully up to date, LitExtension provides post-migration services designed to capture and transfer any newly incurred data.- Unlimited recent data migration if your new data is less than 5% of the initial migration. This offer is available for 30 days after migration is completed.
- Free & unlimited re-migration within 30 days after the migration is completed.
- Free & unlimited smart update within 90 days after migration is completed.
Step 7. Customer support post migration
Even after your Webflow to WordPress migration is complete, LitExtension’s support doesn’t stop there. We understand that adjusting to a new platform can come with questions or unexpected issues. That’s why our Customer Support Team is available for 30 days after your migration is finished to help you resolve any challenges you may encounter. After that period, you can consider subscribing to our Premium Support Service for extended support time with priority assistance.How to Migrate Webflow to WordPress Manually?
On the other hand, if you prefer a more hands-on approach or want full control over the migration process, you can choose to manually migrate your website from Webflow to WordPress. While this method requires more time and technical effort, it can be a suitable option for smaller websites or users with web development experience. Let’s go through the process step by step so you can confidently move your Webflow site to WordPress on your own.Step 1. Export Webflow content
- First, log into your Webflow website and find the project you want to migrate.
- On the left side, click on “CMS Collections” and choose the specific collection you want to export.
- After that, click the “Export” button at the top right to have your data downloaded in CSV format. Repeat this process for each collection you want to migrate.
Step 2. Import your content into WordPress
Now that your Webflow content is exported, it’s time to import it into WordPress. Unfortunately, WordPress only allows the import of XML files, while your exported Webflow data is in CSV format. Therefore, you’ll need to install a third-party plugin to bypass this difference and import to WordPress. In this guide, we’ll take WP All Import as an example to walk you through the overall process.- From your WordPress dashboard, navigate to “Plugins” > “Add New Plugin” and search for WP All Import.
- Click on the “Install Now” button to activate this free plugin.
- Then, get back to your WordPress dashboard, and go to “All Import” > “New Import”.
- Click “Upload a file” and select the CSV file you exported from Webflow, then click the “Continue to Step 2” button. Please note that your image export is not automatic. You’ll need to download images manually from Webflow and re-upload them to your WordPress media library.
- After that, drag and drop each Webflow data field (e.g., “name,” “post-body”) to its corresponding WordPress field (e.g., “title,” “content”).
- When you’re done, please scroll down to the bottom of your page and click “Step 4” to proceed.
- In the next screen, select “Auto-detect” so the plugin assigns a unique identifier to each imported item.
- Review your data mapping and image placements. Next, click “Continue” and then “Confirm & Run Import” to start the process.
Step 3. Double-check your data after migration
After you’ve imported your content into WordPress, it’s essential to carefully review and verify everything to ensure your website functions as expected. A thorough post-migration check helps catch any formatting issues, missing content, or broken links before you go live. Here’s what you should look for during this step:- Content accuracy: Make sure all pages, posts, and media files have been transferred completely. Check for missing text, images, or metadata.
- Formatting and layout: Compare your new WordPress pages to your original Webflow site. Adjust formatting where needed to maintain a consistent look and feel.
- Links and navigation: Test internal and external links to ensure they work properly. Update any broken URLs or incorrect slugs.
- Functionality: If you added forms, galleries, or interactive elements, test them to ensure they’re working properly on the new site.
