WPBakery → Divi 5 Converter
Convert WPBakery to Divi 5 without rebuilding a thing.
Pick a page on your site, read the report, convert. WPBakery shortcodes become native Divi 5 modules, checked against the Divi 5 schema before anything is written, and every run can be undone. Free on wordpress.org for any number of pages; Pro brings the saved templates along.
Free in the WordPress plugin directory. Install it from Plugins → Add New and search for “WPBakery to Divi 5”.

Real modules, mapped one to one
Each WPBakery element has a dedicated converter that produces the equivalent Divi 5 module, content, links, images, colours, typography, spacing and backgrounds included. Sections stay sections, rows stay rows, and every column width, twelfths and fifths alike, lands exactly on Divi's grid.

Check first, then convert
Click Check this page and you get the structure the conversion will produce and everything that will not carry over, by name, before anything is written. Convert rebuilds the page in Divi 5 and keeps the WPBakery version for a one-click undo; tick one box for a separate draft instead.

Three steps, no surprises
Pick the page
Choose a WPBakery page from the list on your site, or upload a WordPress export, or a .txt file of shortcodes from another site.
Check it
Read the report: the structure the conversion will produce, and what will not carry over. Nothing has been written yet.
Convert & review
The page comes back built in Divi 5, every element native, with a per-page report. Review it in the Divi Builder, or undo with one click and the WPBakery version is back.
What Pro actually buys you
WPBakery templates → Divi Library
Saved WPBakery templates (vc4_templates and Templatera) become Divi Library layouts instead of loose pages. Converting the same template again updates the layout instead of adding another.
A year of updates
WPBakery and Divi both move fast, and every ThemeForest theme adds its own elements. Updates keep the mappings current for the sites you have not moved yet.
Priority support
A real migration turns up a real theme with real quirks. Priority support gets you unstuck mid-move, on as many sites as you run.

Who moves sites with it
The agency
Inherited a decade of WPBakery client sites. Check each page first, convert the lot in one run, and spend the saved days on review instead of rebuilds.
The site owner
One ThemeForest theme, one move. Free plugin, every page, zero cost. Upgrade only when the saved templates should come along.
The freelancer
Quotes Divi rebuilds by the page. The converter does the first 80%; the craft goes into the 20% clients actually see.
The full mapping reference
All 129 element tags with a dedicated converter, straight from the plugin's registry. The first four groups are the 75 tags WPBakery itself registers. Ultimate Addons and Ronneby are the add-on and theme families whose elements become real Divi 5 modules rather than a static copy. The template-only, vendor and slider tags mostly keep working instead of becoming one: WooCommerce's eighteen shortcodes stay inside a Divi code module that still runs them, and a Revolution Slider or LayerSlider deck becomes a code module naming the deck. Contact Form 7 and vc_custom_field are the two in that group that reach a Divi module of their own. Approximate mappings are marked as such in the report, for you to check.

Frequently asked questions
- Do I need WPBakery Page Builder installed?
- Only to pick pages from the list on your site, and to have theme elements copied as static HTML rather than left as placeholders. To convert pages from another site, export them there and upload the export file; WPBakery is not needed on the Divi site.
- Will this change my WPBakery pages?
- Only the ones you convert, and never for good. Converting rebuilds the page in Divi 5 so it keeps its address, its publish date, its custom fields and every link pointing at it. The WPBakery version is kept beside it and comes back with one click from the Recent conversions list. Prefer a copy? Tick one box and you get a separate Divi draft with the original left exactly as it is.
- Which elements convert?
- 75/75 registered WPBakery elements handled (38 exact, 31 approximate, 6 read by their parent element), plus 23 template-only and vendor tags. Structure, content, WordPress widgets and the pre-9.0 deprecated tags are all covered, and the full list is on this page.
- What happens to theme elements (Salient, Bridge, The7, Ultimate Addons)?
- Three tiers, and nothing is ever dropped. Real handlers first: all 75 of WPBakery's own elements, the 6 Ultimate Addons elements (bsf-info-box, just_icon, stat_counter, ult_content_box, ultimate_pricing, ultimate_video) and 23 Ronneby elements become native Divi 5 modules. Everything else your theme added is rendered with the theme active and kept as a static copy when you convert on the site that runs it. Converting from an export, where nothing can render it, leaves a labelled placeholder holding the shortcode and its text. Either way the report names the family and the count, "Ronneby x 12", rather than a list of tags nobody recognises.
- My pages were built before WPBakery 9.0. Do the old tags still work?
- Yes. vc_button, vc_button2, vc_cta_button, vc_tabs, vc_tour and vc_accordion are read and converted into the modern equivalent before anything else runs, and the pre-9.0 attribute spellings are normalised first, so a page from 2016 converts like a page from last week.
- What about the Design Options CSS?
- WPBakery keeps row and element design in a generated stylesheet, and the converter reads it rule by rule: margins and padding with their tablet and phone values, backgrounds, gradients and overlays, borders, radius and shadows, typography, colours, minimum heights and responsive visibility. Anything Divi has no setting for is carried as custom CSS on the module rather than lost.
- Does it work with Divi 4?
- Output targets Divi 5 block markup specifically. On Divi 4 or without Divi the plugin explains itself and does nothing.
- How do I know the output is valid?
- Every converted layout is checked against a deterministic validator: 61 Divi 5 block types, 15 violation classes. If it passes, Divi 5 renders it.
- Is it really unlimited sites?
- Yes. A Pro license activates on as many sites as you own or build for clients, for as long as it stays active.
- What happens if I don't renew?
- Pro keeps working on the sites where it is already activated. You just stop receiving new updates and priority support until you renew.
- Do I need the free plugin?
- Yes. Pro is a license that extends the free plugin. Install the free plugin from wordpress.org first, then activate Pro.
- Is there a refund policy?
- Digital goods are final-sale, but if the converter is genuinely broken for your migration and support cannot fix it within 14 days of purchase, we'll make it right. The full policy lives on the license page.
