# Migrate Visual Composer to Gutenberg Full-site migration from Visual Composer (WPBakery) to the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg). Audits every Visual Composer page, maps elements to their Gutenberg block equivalents, builds a migration plan for approval, and executes page-by-page conversion into native block markup — all through duplicates so your live site stays untouched. Use this skill whenever someone mentions migrating from Visual Composer to Gutenberg, switching from WPBakery to blocks, converting Visual Composer pages to the block editor, or moving away from Visual Composer to native WordPress. ## What This Skill Does Visual Composer (now WPBakery Page Builder in its classic form, and Visual Composer Website Builder in its newer form) stores content in post_meta using VCV's custom JSON format. It has been one of the most widely-used WordPress page builders, bundled with thousands of themes. Gutenberg uses a flat block structure in `post_content` with HTML comment delimiters. The migration is moderate: Visual Composer's row/column grid and standard elements translate to Gutenberg, but the ecosystem of third-party VC add-ons and theme-bundled custom elements is vast and varied. This skill reads every Visual Composer page, extracts the builder content, translates each element to its Gutenberg block equivalent, and writes the result to duplicate pages in native block markup — giving you a complete parallel version of your site to review before going live. **Handle
