From elementor to oxygen

[sobyschwartz]

Hi

I have a page build with astra theme. some pages I have used elementor other just the basic blocks.
I would like to have it in oxygen instead but since there is just about 100 post I really don't want to work on the live site and mess it up.
Is there a way to "work Offline" with the site, activate oxygen, make the adjustment that proberly must be done and so on.
Then when everything is fine and working make it active.

May be out of the topic but you can also try GenerateBlocks to shift from Elementor.

Create a subdomain with a copy of your site (files and database) do the changes on the subdomain and after you done just migrate the subdomain files and db to the live site. Is better to use a plugin when migrate because you can fk your site if you miss something on the way

use the clone plugin make a clone on a subdomain or another domain and see if it works. then if it does copy that to your main domain.

Oxygen DOES NOT USE THEMES!

So the astra theme here is irrelevant...

I guess there are templates available for oxygen.

Does wonders as a UX/UI designer first and Web Designer second my experience with wordpress had been terrible until i found oxygen that software is a mofking monster, Converting my Figma templates to oxygen lately had been a breeze and to top that off they now have CSS grids, I have A 100 Rating on most of my client sites built with oxygen (many of my sites run on VPS BTW).

Oxygen simply rocks - gone the times of DIV madness just for a tag or a heading ( also plays a role in HTML to content ratio for SEO purposes ). Bloated elementor crap - although I am still running it on my page, ( no time yet to revamp the whole thing ). But - as soon as I find the time, elementor's gonna be history. A bad one.

Check out LocalWP for a dead simple easy to use local WP development environment. Oxygen is a plugin that eliminates the WP theme when activated. Create your header and footer as an oxygen reusable part, create a new oxygen template that imports your header and footer part. Set the Inner Content to your template and then apply the template to pages or make it a catch all. You can also try Oxy Monster that provides a bunch of design kits. Design kits in OXY are really just pre made templates. Also get the Oxygen Gutenberg Block plugin so you can easily create Gutenberg blocks with Oxygen.

Love Oxygen. Get a dev environment (locally hosted WP, or a plugin like WP-Staging) and do the work there. Then just copy over the shortcodes from dev to Production and change any references in the shortcodes to the dev environment to production. Example img src="mysite.com/dev-site/favico.png" would need to be changed to img src="mysite.com/favico.png" Same goes for links. Simple "Ctrl+F" type find will work for you, or paste it into a text editor and use it's search & replace feature.

This will allow you to move the site over while keeping the old one up for now. One thing I've noticed though, is if you use WP-Optimize the two do not play well together. Oxygen's editor will not load if you have that plugin running.

Yes, you can zip and download your wordpress files and install xamp or wamp in your pc and extract the file to the www folder and change the wp-config settings
