This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.

Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:

wp plugin install https://github.com/apermo/wpbakery-to-gutenberg/archive/refs/heads/main.zip

No built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.

Readme github.com/apermo/wpbakery-to-gutenberg ↗

Convert WPBakery Page Builder (formerly Visual Composer) content to native Gutenberg blocks. Extends Classic to Gutenberg by hooking into its conversion pipeline.

Supported Elements

WPBakery Shortcode	Gutenberg Block
`[vc_row]` / `[vc_row_inner]`	`core/columns` (multi-column) or unwrapped (single column)
`[vc_column]` / `[vc_column_inner]`	`core/column` with percentage width
`[vc_column_text]`	Inner HTML converted to standard blocks

Requirements
