If you’ve upgraded to WordPress 5.0+ and have existing content created with the Classic Editor, this plugin automates the conversion process, saving you hours of manual work. **The Problem:** When you upgrade to WordPress 5.0+, all your existing Classic Editor content gets wrapped in a “Classic” block. To properly convert this content to individual Gutenberg blocks, you would normally need to edit each post manually and click “Convert to Blocks” – a tedious process if you have hundreds or thousands of posts. **The Solution:** Bulk Classic to Block automates this entire process. It scans your entire site, identifies all classic editor content, and allows you to convert everything to proper Gutenberg blocks with just a few clicks. **Key Features:** * **Universal Post Type Support** – Works with posts, pages, and all custom post types * **Smart Scanning** – Automatically detects classic editor content across your entire site * **Flexible Conversion** – Convert all content at once or select specific posts to convert * **Post Type Filtering** – Filter and convert by specific post types (posts, pages, or custom types) * **Status Filtering**– Filter by post status (published, draft, scheduled, private) * **Individual Control**– Convert posts one at a time or use bulk actions * **Automatic Indexing** – New content is automatically indexed as you create it * **Safe & Efficient** – Uses WordPress core APIs for reliable conversion **How It Works:** 1. **Scan** – The plugin scans your content to identify posts created with the Classic Editor 2. **Review** – View a detailed list of all posts that need conversion, organized by post type 3. **Convert** – Choose to convert all posts at once, or select specific posts using checkboxes 4. **Done** – Your classic content is now properly structured as Gutenberg blocks **Perfect For:** * Sites migrating from Classic Editor to Gutenberg * Users with large amounts of existing content * Developers managing multiple sites * Anyone who wants to modernize their content structure **Important:** The conversion process is irreversible. Always create a full backup of your site before converting content. We recommend testing on a staging site first. ## Screenshots [⌊Main conversion interface - Initial screen showing the warning message and conversion controls box with post type selector and "Scan Content" button⌉⌊Main conversion interface - Initial screen showing the warning message and conversion controls box with post type selector and "Scan Content" button⌉[ Main conversion interface – Initial screen showing the warning message and conversion controls box with post type selector and “Scan Content” button [⌊After scan - Results display showing the number of posts found ready for conversion, along with the full results table listing all posts with checkboxes and convert options⌉⌊After scan - Results display showing the number of posts found ready for conversion, along with the full results table listing all posts with checkboxes and convert options⌉[ After scan – Results display showing the number of posts found ready for conversion, along with the full results table listing all posts with checkboxes and convert options [⌊After convert all - Success message confirming that all content has been successfully converted to Gutenberg blocks⌉⌊After convert all - Success message confirming that all content has been successfully converted to Gutenberg blocks⌉[ After convert all – Success message confirming that all content has been successfully converted to Gutenberg blocks ## Installation 1.

I liked the way that before it did any work it showed me which posts it was going to work on AND let me do individual posts first as a test. It made me feel a lot more comfortable about proceeding.
