wp plugin install https://github.com/kylendowns/betheme-migrator/archive/refs/heads/main.zip

Convert BeTheme builder content stored in post meta into clean, readable post_content for standard WordPress usage. Not affiliated with BeTheme.

Adds a Tools page in wp-admin to run a one-click migration.
Finds posts/pages (and selected custom post types) that have BeTheme builder data saved in post meta under the mfn-page-items key.
Decodes the stored data and extracts:
- Rich text/HTML from content blocks.
- Image URLs and converts them into normalized (wrapped in <a>) tags.
Writes the resulting HTML into the native post_content field.
Provides a post-run summary (processed, updated, skipped, errors).

It does not migrate 1:1 BeTheme layouts, styling, or advanced components (e.g., sliders, buttons, grids, animations).
It does not guarantee perfect visual parity; it focuses on extracting core readable content (text and images).
It does not alter themes, templates, or page builder settings.
It does not remove BeTheme data from post meta; it only populates post_content.
It does not handle shortcodes or custom modules beyond basic content and image extraction.

Download the plugin from GitHub.
In WordPress Admin, go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, upload the zip, then Activate.

Back up your database. _**This operation updates postcontent at scale.
In WordPress Admin, go to Tools > BeTheme Content Migrator.
Select which post types to process.
Choose whether to overwrite existing post_content (recommended if you want to replace any existing content with extracted content).
Click Run Migration.
Review the summary and any error samples shown.

Notes:

Only posts that have the mfn-page-items meta will be processed.
If “Overwrite existing post_content” is unchecked, posts with non-empty content will be skipped.

Always test on a staging site first.
Back up before running.
Run in batches if your site is very large (you can limit selected post types and re-run as needed).
After migration, review key pages to confirm results.

Will this break BeTheme?
- No. It does not remove or modify the original BeTheme meta data; it populates post_content. You can still use BeTheme if desired.
Will the migrated content look identical?
- Not necessarily. This plugin focuses on extracting readable text and images, not reproducing layout/styling.
Can I undo the migration?
- Not automatically. Restore from a backup to revert post_content changes.
Does it migrate custom fields or builder-specific widgets?
- No. It targets main content and images.
