Channels need mapping
Each ExpressionEngine channel becomes a WordPress post type, and its fields become custom fields, so the mapping is planned first.
Leave ExpressionEngine behind.
Keep what you've built.
Migrate your ExpressionEngine site to WordPress. Channels, entries, custom fields and categories move with redirects and SEO kept intact.

Why businesses are leaving ExpressionEngine for WordPress
These are the issues owners most often report when they outgrow ExpressionEngine.
Export needs custom work
Export is reported to need custom XML templates, so the process is scripted and checked against a known-good post.
Image paths break
Images and referenced files need consistent paths, otherwise a search-and-replace is needed after import.
Templates are rebuilt
ExpressionEngine templates are rebuilt as WordPress themes and blocks, with the same layouts and navigation.
URL patterns change
ExpressionEngine URL patterns are mapped to clean WordPress addresses, with 301s for every change.
Upgrade timing
ExpressionEngine 6 is reported to reach legacy status at the end of 2025 and retirement at the end of 2026, so the timing of the decision matters.

A note from the founder
You'll work with real people, not a ticket system
Hi, I'm Anup. I started Transfer to WordPress because I kept meeting business owners who were paying too much for a website they couldn't fully control.
Every migration is rebuilt by hand by our team, and you can message us directly at any point. If something isn't right, we fix it. That's how we've earned a 4.9 rating from more than 600 businesses.

Questions about moving from ExpressionEngine
Each channel becomes a WordPress post type with its custom fields, and entries are imported with their categories and dates.
We map each URL pattern to its new address and redirect it with a 301, so links and rankings carry over.
We keep image paths consistent and run a search-and-replace where needed, then check every image on the new site.
If your site is on version 6, the vendor describes an upgrade path to version 7. We can advise which route suits your site.
Yes. We compare each export with a post that already imports correctly, so missing fields are caught early.
It depends on channel count and content volume. We confirm the timeline in the quote.
No. We build the WordPress version on a private preview link while your ExpressionEngine site stays live. We switch your domain only after you approve the new site, so there is zero downtime.
