Convert to Blocks
Convert to Blocks is a WordPress plugin that transforms classic editor content to blocks on the fly.
Convert to Blocks is a WordPress plugin that transforms classic editor content to blocks on-the-fly. After installing Gutenberg or upgrading to WordPress 5.0+, your content will be displayed in “Classic Editor Blocks”. While these blocks are completely functional and will display fine on the frontend of your website, they do not empower editors to fully make use of the block editing experience. In order to do so, your classic editor posts need to be converted to blocks. This plugin does that for you “on the fly”. When an editor goes to edit a classic post, the content will be parsed into blocks. When the editor saves the post, the new structure will be saved into the database. This strategy reduces risk as you are only altering database values for content that needs to be changed.
Note that Inner Blocks Transforms is only supported with the Gutenberg Plugin 10.9.0+.

Thanks for this plugin. It helped with a website update/migration I was doing. One issue I ran into: the website in question is in multiple languages (using WPML), and none of the translations were updated.
Thanks again,
Greg
Greg – As WPML is a paid plugin, I’m not able to immediately test this out but if I recall correctly for translations it creates a separate post. So in order to have those translated posts converted from the classic editor to blocks you’d likely have to open the translated site/post(s) to do that.
