Migrating Panels to Blocks

To migrate individual pages created using Panels in WordPress prior to October 22, 2024, please follow these instructions:

  1. Open the page you want to migrate in Edit mode, then click Save.
  2. In the top navigation, on the right side of the page, click on the icon with 3 vertical dots. This will open a dropdown menu: Options Menu in Block Editor opened to display Migrate Panels to Blocks
  3. Select Migrate Panels to Blocks located about halfway down the page.
  4. Your page will refresh and all panels should convert to theme blocks.

Section Navigation Post-Migration

After WordPress has been upgraded on October 22, if you notice that some section navigation is not showing up on your pages, please follow these instructions to resolve the issues: Section Navigation in Gutenberg.

In some cases, we may need to run a Bulk Migration on your website to fix issues with section navigation. We are prioritizing Bulk Migrations for sites with section navigation.
