Readme

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

PHP 8.2+
WordPress 6.5+
