The Bulk Block Converter plugin scans all posts and pages for classic content. Then, provides options to individually or bulk convert all the content within ‘Classic’ blocks to individual blocks. This is an extremely useful tool when migrating a site from the WordPress Classic Editor to the new WordPress 5+ Gutenberg Editor.
After upgrading to WordPress 5, all post and page content previously created using the Classic Editor will be contained within the ‘Classic’ block. Typically, in order to convert the content within the ‘Classic’ block to individual blocks, you must edit each post or page individually. Then, click the ‘Convert to Blocks’ option for the ‘Classic’ block. If you have a significant number of posts or pages, this can be a very long and tedious process. The Bulk Block Converter plugin was created to drastically reduce the time it takes to convert classic content to Gutenberg blocks.
Please Note: The block conversion process is irreversible. So, be sure to backup your site before converting your content to blocks.

Bulk Classic to Block is a powerful WordPress plugin designed to help you seamlessly migrate from the Classic Editor to the Gutenberg Block Editor. If you’ve upgraded to WordPress 5.0+ and have existing content created with the Classic Editor, this plugin automates the conversion process, saving you hours of manual work.
The Problem: 
When you upgrade to WordPress 5.0+, all your existing Classic Editor content gets wrapped in a “Classic” block. To properly convert this content to individual Gutenberg blocks, you would normally need to edit each post manually and click “Convert to Blocks” – a tedious process if you have hundreds or thousands of posts.
The Solution: 
Bulk Classic to Block automates this entire process. It scans your entire site, identifies all classic editor content, and allows you to convert everything to proper Gutenberg blocks with just a few clicks.
Key Features: 
* Universal Post Type Support – Works with posts, pages, and all custom post types 
* Smart Scanning – Automatically detects classic editor content across your entire site 
* Flexible Conversion – Convert all content at once or select specific posts to convert 
* Post Type Filtering – Filter and convert by specific post types (posts, pages, or custom types) 
* Status Filtering – Filter by post status (published, draft, scheduled, private) 
* Individual Control – Convert posts one at a time or use bulk actions 
* Automatic Indexing – New content is automatically indexed as you create it 
* Safe & Efficient – Uses WordPress core APIs for reliable conversion
How It Works: 
1. Scan – The plugin scans your content to identify posts created with the Classic Editor 
2. Review – View a detailed list of all posts that need conversion, organized by post type 
3. Convert – Choose to convert all posts at once, or select specific posts using checkboxes 
4. Done – Your classic content is now properly structured as Gutenberg blocks
Perfect For: 
* Sites migrating from Classic Editor to Gutenberg 
* Users with large amounts of existing content 
* Developers managing multiple sites 
* Anyone who wants to modernize their content structure
Important: The conversion process is irreversible. Always create a full backup of your site before converting content. We recommend testing on a staging site first.

Bulk Classic to Block


This worked great. I liked the way that before it did any work it showed me which posts it was going to work on AND let me do individual posts first as a test. It made me feel a lot more comfortable about proceeding.
