Your classic content will keep working — but the modern editing experience, block tools, patterns and styling all live in native blocks. This plugin migrates your entire site’s legacy content to native Gutenberg blocks in one click — safely. WordPress core offers a per-block “Convert to blocks” action, one post at a time. This plugin does it for your whole site at once. * **One click** — scan your whole site and convert every classic post, page and custom post type at once, with a live progress bar. * **Faithful conversion** — uses `wp.blocks.rawHandler()`, the exact same converter behind the block editor’s own “Convert to Blocks” button. Paragraphs, headings, images, galleries, lists, quotes, tables, embeds and shortcodes become proper blocks. * **Automatic backup & one-click revert** — the original content of every post is stored before conversion. Changed your mind? Revert any post with one click. * **Per-post control** — convert posts one at a time if you prefer. * **100% free** — no ads, no upsells, no premium version, no payment dependency of any kind. ## Screenshots [⌊The converter screen: classic content list, one-click Convert All, live progress.⌉⌊ The converter screen: classic content list, one-click Convert All, live progress .⌉[ The converter screen: classic content list, one-click Convert All, live progress.

No. The Classic Editor plugin is unaffected, and existing classic content will keep rendering and stay editable. What is changing: the Classic block is being deprecated and will eventually be hidden behind an opt-in. Converting now future-proofs your content and unlocks the full block editing experience. ### Is this safe to run on a live site? The plugin backs up every post’s original content before converting it, and you can revert any post at any time. We still recommend a full database backup before bulk operations — that’s just good practice. ### Which post types are supported? All public post types that support the editor and are visible in the REST API: posts, pages, and most custom post types. Developers can adjust the list with the `zcbc_supported_post_types` filter. ### What happens to shortcodes and embeds? Shortcodes become Shortcode blocks and keep working exactly as before. Embed URLs become native Embed blocks. Content the converter cannot map to a specific block is preserved in an HTML block — nothing is lost. ### Where are the backups stored? In post meta (`_zcbc_original_content`). Reverting a post restores the backup and removes the meta. Backups are kept when you deactivate the plugin; they are only removed if you delete (uninstall) the plugin. ### Does this plugin call any external services? No. Everything runs on your own site — no external requests, no tracking, no accounts. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Zeba Classic to Blocks Converter” is open source software.
