Mitgrate to Gutenberg

Migrate pre Gutenberg contents to Gutenberg blocks.

Features

• Extendable for different migration sources and destinations
• Restore from backups
• cli integration
• Migration analysis: Which contents will be affected and why

Shortcode migration

The first and until now only migration path is ShortcodesMigration. You can migrate any shortcode to some other content structure like a gutenberg block.

This migration path can be used for:

• WPBakery Page Builder

Transformations

The transformation of a shortcode to something different is handle by classes that implement the ShortcodeTransformation interface. Abstract class AbsShortcodeTransformation or AbsBlockXTransformation can be extended.

Existing transformations

vc_column_text will be transformed to gutenberg paragraph block.

vc_column, vc_column_inner, vc_row_inner, vc_row will be transformed to gutenberg groups. ( ⚠️ this is still work in progress )

vc_single_image will be transformed to gutenberg image block.

Example with ShortcodeTransformation

For any shortcode transformation to whatever.

class MyTransformation implements \Palasthotel\WordPress\MigrateToGutenberg\Interfaces\ShortcodeTransformation {

    function tag() : string{
        return "my-shortcode";
    }
    function transform($attrs,string $content) : string{
         return "<!-- wp:my/shortcode /-->";
    }
}

Example with AbsShortcodeTransformation

For shortcodes that should stay shortcodes with the shortcode gutenberg block.

class MyShortcodeTransformation extends \Palasthotel\WordPress\MigrateToGutenberg\Transformations\AbsShortcodeTransformation {
    function tag() : string{
        return "my-block-shortcode";
    }
}

Example with AbsBlockXTransformation

This will append all shortcode attributes to BlockX content attributes and create a block with the give blockId.

class MyBlockXTransformation extends \Palasthotel\WordPress\MigrateToGutenberg\Transformations\AbsBlockXTransformation {
    function tag() : string{
        return "my-simple-shortcode";
    }
    function blockId() : \Palasthotel\WordPress\BlockX\Model\BlockId{
         return \Palasthotel\WordPress\BlockX\Model\BlockId::build("my", "simple-block");
    }
}

Add transformation to migration

Add a new transformation to shortcode migration by using the filter in 'plugins_loaded' action.

add_filter(\Palasthotel\WordPress\MigrateToGutenberg\Plugin::FILTER_SHORTCODE_TRANSFORMATIONS, function($transformations){
    return array_merge(
        $transformations,
        [
            new MyTransformation(),
            new MyShortcodeTransformation(),
            new MyBlockXTransformation(),      
        ]
    );
});
