It converts the most common WPBakery Page Builder (Visual Composer) shortcodes into native WordPress blocks. #### Important This plugin works only with WPBakery Page Builder shortcodes (vc_* elements). WPBakery Page Builder and Visual Composer are trademarks of their respective owners. This plugin is not affiliated with or endorsed by them. #### What Gets Converted **Layout Elements** Rows and columns (`vc_row`, `vc_column`, `vc_row_inner`, `vc_column_inner`) become Group and Columns blocks with responsive settings and CSS classes preserved. **Content Elements** * `vc_column_text` Paragraph / HTML blocks * `vc_custom_heading` Heading blocks with proper levels * `vc_btn` Button blocks with color and link preserved * `vc_raw_html` Custom HTML blocks * `vc_single_image` Image blocks *` vc_separator` Separator blocks * `vc_empty_space` Spacer blocks **Third-party Shortcodes** Non-WPBakery shortcodes (contact forms, plugins, etc.) are automatically wrapped in Shortcode blocks and keep working after conversion. #### Features * One-click convert and revert on each post/page edit screen * Works in both the block editor (Gutenberg sidebar panel) and the classic editor( metabox) * Automatic backup of original content, revert any time * Dashboard with conversion stats * Settings for allowed post types and user capability requirements * Extensible architecture with additional features available in a Pro version #### Supported Shortcodes (Free) WPBakery Shortcode Gutenberg Block `vc_row` / `vc_row_inner` Group `vc_column` / `vc_column_inner` Column `vc_column_text` Paragraph / HTML `vc_custom_heading` Heading `vc_btn` Button `vc_single_image` Image `vc_raw_html` Custom HTML `vc_separator` Separator `vc_empty_space` Spacer #### Need more features?

Upload the `shortcode-to-blocks` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install from the WordPress Plugins screen. 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen. 3. Go to **Shortcode Blocks** in the admin sidebar to see the dashboard. 4. Open any post or page that contains WPBakery content and click **Convert** in the sidebar panel (block editor) or metabox (classic editor). ## FAQ ### Does this work with other page builders? No. This plugin converts WPBakery Page Builder (Visual Composer) shortcodes only. ### Can I revert after converting? Yes. The original content is stored in post meta. Click **Revert** to restore it. ### What happens to shortcodes that aren’t supported? They’re wrapped in a Gutenberg Shortcode block and continue to render normally. No content is lost. ### Is it safe for production? The plugin creates automatic backups, but always test on a staging copy first and back up your database before converting many posts. ### Does this plugin send data to external servers? No. All conversions are performed locally on your site. This plugin does not send data to external services. ### Do I need the Pro version? The free version handles the most common layout and content shortcodes for single- post conversion. If you need batch tools, advanced converters (video, galleries, tabs, accordions, CTAs, maps), logging, or bulk actions, the Pro add-on is the way to go. ## Rezensionen There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Mitwirkende & Entwickler „Shortcode to Blocks“ ist Open-Source-Software.
