Convert to Blocks is a WordPress plugin that transforms classic editor content to blocks on-the-fly. After installing Gutenberg or upgrading to WordPress 5.0+, your content will be displayed in “Classic Editor Blocks”. While these blocks are completely functional and will display fine on the frontend of your website, they do not empower editors to fully make use of the block editing experience. In order to do so, your classic editor posts need to be converted to blocks. This plugin does that for you “on the fly”. When an editor goes to edit a classic post, the content will be parsed into blocks. When the editor saves the post, the new structure will be saved into the database. This strategy reduces risk as you are only altering database values for content that needs to be changed.
Note that Inner Blocks Transforms is only supported with the Gutenberg Plugin 10.9.0+.

Handy!


Very good plugin, which helps to migrate a lot of posts.



We have a project with ~8000 posts, which needs to be converted. Only standard text and images...



Unfortunatly WordPress itself is pushing Gutenberg, but not providing tools for this task.



This plugin is helping a lot. Basically it opens the browser, clicks the button, saves the post, opens the next post ...



A quite clever solution, which unfortunately is slow and sometimes breaks.. Means you have to monitor the task and reload the tab from time to time...


Very good, bulk is slow and error prone, but not developers fault


When you run a command and open a URL, the browser opens articles one after another and converts them into blocks. It magically automatically converts blocks quickly and accurately.
