Frequently Asked Questions

No. You choose the pages you want and click a button. It all happens inside the normal WordPress dashboard.

No. Elementor only needs to have built the pages in the first place. Once a page is converted to blocks it no longer needs Elementor, so you can switch it off once you’re happy with the results.

No. The converted version is always a new page, and the original is left as it was. You review the new version and switch it live only when you’re ready.

It gets very close on its own. Colours, fonts, spacing, and layout all come across. Because Elementor and the block editor work differently under the hood, complicated pages may need a few small tweaks afterwards. The AI Enhancement pass and the Conversion Log make those easy to find and fix.

Faster pages, for one: blocks don’t have to load Elementor’s extra code. You also drop a dependency on a single builder, edit everything with the tools already in WordPress, and have one fewer heavy plugin to keep updated. Why BlockShift? goes into this.

They’re converted with a safe fallback so the page still comes through cleanly, and the Conversion Log flags them so you can check whether any need attention. See Supported Widgets.

Set the section content width in Settings to match your Elementor design (1140, 1200, or 1024 are common) before converting.

Only for the optional AI Enhancement feature. The conversion itself runs on your own server with no account and no key.

The plugin doesn’t charge for it. If you use it, you supply your own Anthropic account and Anthropic bills you directly, based on how much you run through it.

The conversion runs locally. A few optional features reach outside services (the AI pass, the screenshots it uses, address suggestions in the Map block, and any Google fonts, maps, or videos your page already used). Each is spelled out on the External Services & Privacy page, and the AI and feedback features only run when you start them.

No. Feedback is opt-in and never leaves your site unless you fill in the form and submit it.

WordPress 6.7 or later, PHP 7.4 or later, and pages that were built with Elementor. WooCommerce is only needed for WooCommerce elements. See Getting Started.
