Post-conversion center
After Conversion
Your theme is downloaded. These four sections take you from a ZIP file to a live, indexed WordPress site without losing rankings.
Install your WordPress theme
Install the WordPress theme
In WordPress go to Appearance → Themes → Add New → Upload Theme, choose your downloaded ZIP and activate it.
Install the recommended plugins
Contact Form 7 or WPForms for forms, and an SEO plugin. The theme detects them automatically.
Configure menus
Appearance → Menus. Your original navigation is registered as a menu location; assign it and save.
Configure the homepage
Settings → Reading → A static page, then pick the page generated from your original index.
Configure permalinks
Settings → Permalinks → Post name. This also flushes rewrite rules so every converted page resolves.
Configure contact forms
Open each converted form, map the fields to your form plugin and set the recipient address.
Configure caching
Enable a caching plugin last, after you have verified every page renders correctly.
Configure security
Set strong admin credentials, enable auto-updates and add a firewall plugin before going public.
SEO migration center
Yoast SEO
Import the titles and descriptions extracted during conversion, then set a site-wide title template.
Rank Math
Use the setup wizard, disable its automatic redirect capture during migration, then re-enable it.
XML sitemap
Let your SEO plugin generate the sitemap and submit it in Google Search Console.
Robots.txt
Confirm the staging noindex flag is off: Settings → Reading → uncheck search engine discouragement.
Canonical URLs
Canonical tags carry over per page. Verify them after changing the domain or the permalink structure.
Redirects
Map every old URL to its new WordPress path before switching DNS.
Google Search Console
Add the WordPress site, verify ownership and submit the new sitemap the same day you launch.
Google Analytics
Re-add the measurement tag; tracking scripts from the original site are not carried over automatically.
Schema
Re-check structured data in the Rich Results Test; your SEO plugin adds the site-level schema.
301 redirect center
Lovable domain
Point the custom domain at WordPress, then add 301 rules for any path that changed.
Framer domain
Update the DNS record to your WordPress host and redirect old Framer slugs to the new pages.
Webflow domain
Remove the Webflow DNS records, add the WordPress host records and redirect /pages/* paths.
Replit domain
Replit URLs cannot issue redirects; publish a link page or change DNS if you used a custom domain.
GitHub Pages
Keep the repository and replace index.html with a meta refresh plus canonical to the WordPress URL.
Netlify
Add a _redirects rule: /* https://yourdomain.com/:splat 301!
Vercel
Add a redirects entry in vercel.json with permanent: true for each old path.
