Wix2X (Wix to Editor X Conversion Tool) - This tool will allow you to migrate your Wix sites to Editor X. Yes - you heard correctly - You can now migrate your Wix sites to Editor X! Be sure and see the walkthrough here: https://youtu.be/noZbw7IH4C4?t=738
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I revert to my Wix site after I migrate to Editor X? Yes - There are 2 ways to revert to the Wix site version:
1: Before you publish on Editor X, you can restore under "help".
2: After you publish you can restore via Site History. From the top bar > Help
Will my site be fully responsive after I migrate to Editor X?
We copy the Wix desktop design to Editor X. You will then be able to work on the site and adjust it to the different breakpoints.
My page is missing an element. What should I do?
Some elements are not supported on Editor X and cannot be recreated. In most cases it's probably because the migration tool doesn't yet know how to migrate the missing element. What you need to do is add it again from the "add panel".
Will my Velo code transfer to Editor X?
Yes. Your code will be available on the new site. Please note that it might need some adjustments in places where you refer to unsupported elements.
Can I migrate an ADI site to Editor X?
Yes - but first you will need to migrate from ADI to WIX and then to Editor X.
Will my SEO be affected after I migrate to Editor X?
Your SEO settings will be copied. Page SEO, keywords, image descriptions, header tags, business address and more will all be copied to the new site. Keep in mind that any changes in design, structure, and content has a potential to impact SEO.
Waoowww how amazing.
Going to give it a try
I wanted to give this a try. So, I duplicated a live site, published it, and attempted the conversion. However, I keep getting the following error message (even after restoring, saving, and publishing again):
Snap. Tried 6 of our sites and not one would transfer.
Holy moly. Pinch me. I must be dreaming. 😯😲😱
Just finished watching the partner round table. Just wanted to share my thoughts. The collobarator tool with chat support is like never seen before- first of its kind. they are up to something with the new interaction panel. The migration tool: they could have focussed on supporting all wix elements and wix apps first, and then release the Wix2X. Just saying. Nevertheless, this is bomb! The whole thing was. Future might just be here! Congratulations Editor x team! Cheers Partners!
I tried to migrate to Editor x and nothing shows up on the new editor. Just blank pages. The only thing that transferred over was the header menu...Any help would be appreciated.
Hi Josh, thank you for bringing this to our attention. I've notified the team!
Hi Josh, I'll be sending you a direct message with additional questions.
🔥🔥🔥
Hey Thrishti! Nice to see you around these parts again. :)
Yes @Steven After a long time...😀
@Thrishti Labs don't get lost on us again haha! :)
How long is the migration process supposed to take? This is taking forever.
Hey team, also having issues with the convertor, it's been stuck on the EditorX loading screen for a long time, and the my sites page didn't update with the new site.
Hey Chris! Hope all is well. I'm going to send you a message, be on the lookout.
I am having the same error as Shannon. It fails to transfer and wants me to restore. I thought it may be do to incompatible apps so I removed Wix Site Search which was my only incompatible app and it still failed.
@danak The Interactions feature on Editor X is plagued with bugs. Adding the interactions seems to work fine, but once an Interaction is added, it messes with all the other elements and settings for an element. For example if an element has an Animation or an image has a Parallax scroll effect on it, then I add an interaction, it messes up.
Don't get me started on when I use Velo code for elements then add an Interaction haha!! Lets just say using both Velo custom code and Interactions DOES NOT WORK.
My question is why did Wix push the 'Editor X Unstoppable' event when they knew non of the new features were near ready for launch!? This is a quite a let down to be honest. I was all hyped up for these features and its taken 2 months since the event to release a BETA of Interactions that doesn't work nearly as well as it should be for it to be released for users. There's no sign of Concurrent Editing feature being released anytime soon.... "A couple of weeks" i guess, as the Editor X team has been saying for the past couple of months... 🤣
I'm guessing 'Editor X Unstoppable' event was a marketing gimmick to keep the Wix stock investors happy.
Nothing in that event was real game changing. Not until we can get full access to the site assets like Stylesheet or HTML.
And then Wix has the audacity to charge us an arm and a leg for Editor X pricing. Editor X doesn't meet the competition its trying to compete with so it shouldn't be setting the prices so high for a half baked product. At this point, I feel Wix is being greedy.
Sure, Editor X is pretty decent, but I am upset. I am expecting better from a company like Wix that has been around for like 20 years and is one of the biggest companies in its field. Wix is really falling behind the competition. I am not getting the value for money.
Please, I am not hating. I just want a better product!
Hey @Tim Cook ! Interactions is in Beta - it isn't released to users. If you experience a bug or issue this is the right place to show it to the team. What you are describing is *NOT* what we are experiencing or seeing, so I think it's really important to schedule some time for you and the EX team to take a look. I have reached out to the team - so be watching your DMs here. A PM will be reaching out soon. I also DM'd you to make sure you see this so you will be watching for it. It might end up being next week (Israel is on holiday this week). As far as the rest of your comments... Those are your opinions, and whether we agree or not I think one of the coolest things Wix does is show the community what they are working on and what's coming. It's interesting to me that you see this as announcing things that aren't ready, while most of the community is constantly asking what's coming next and **LOVING** when Wix shows new features. Think of all the people at Wix who work so hard on all of those features. Similar to how the partners share their amazing sites, Wix also likes to showcase what we've been working on too. =) It's just a bit trickier for us because Wix is publicly traded.
@Brett Haralson Hi Brett,
First of all I want to apologize as after re-reading what I posted, I may have come of aggressive.
I truly value your transparency and how hard the team at Wix works. Love you guys!
I've been using Wix for around 4 years now and I've loved it up until last year, when I was having issues with my Wix sites and Editor X sites. I feel as though Editor X was the right step forward, but when I look around the market, there are so many new platforms getting launched that provide a better feature set at a better price. I'm sure you are more than aware of the competition and one in particular product that is Editor X's main competition (many forum members have mentioned this platform before).
I guess I am just sad that I have come so far with Wix and so many people I talk to now, who are more advanced in the web design/development field, are encouraging me to move away from Wix as it is very 'limiting', 'a platform designed for beginners', 'lacks advanced design features' and 'not very scalable'.
Editor X didn't progress enough in the year its been around. I was waiting for some amazing new features but all we got were gimmicky updates. Yes, a few bugs were fixed here and there, but Editor X is still quite buggy. There are so many features missing as well (that slide from the Round table video above which shows the missing features.) At least Wix is aware of these missing features, but they are not getting added fast enough. Maybe Wix needs to hire more developers to fast-track these features... idk!?
Interactions is only getting released now in March of 2021 - Almost a year after Wix Editor got them and many years since other web development platforms got it.
I think the main issue is the rate at which Wix develops and releases features and the priority of importance of theses features.
This is amazing!
I am so excited about this, however, I don't think it's quite ready for beta. I tried this with my own site (a duplicated version!), and it turned out to be a jumbled mess. In addition, I previewed the site and none of the links work.
I am looking forward to revisions because this is much needed!
Does this also transfer customer data, sales history etc?
Yes it will keep your contacts, Store data, marketing tools and everything on the dashboard and backoffice.
I love how robust and intuitive the editor is. I can't stop using it, its a bit addictive.
I commented a bit ago about not being able to use the transfer tool and since I have tried brand new sites and copies of other sites and I still cant get any site to work. Is there an update on what may be happening and what we can possibly do to get this to work?
Thank you Cody for the feedback. Can you please share what didn't work for you?
@danak Of course! So I have had a couple of issues which I have listed below. At a high level, I havent been able to convert a single site yet.
1. When I transfer a site, it goes through the process and then I am prompted to restore because it failed.
2. More recently, I have been stuck on an infinite loading screen with the editor x animation. I let it sit on that screen for over an hour and nothing ended up happening. This was tested on an existing and fresh site.
