CMS Pages & Blog Content

Blogs
CMS

Custom migrate CMS pages, blog posts, authors, media, and SEO fields when content structure differs between carts.

Why CMS Pages & Blog Content needs Custom Migration

CMS pages, blogs, and posts often need HTML cleanup, author mapping, or media rewriting beyond default page/blog support. Custom Migration for CMS & blog content extends content transfer so landing pages and articles remain usable—and indexable—on the new platform.

Who this customization is for

Content teams with policy pages, guides, and editorial blogs that drive SEO
Stores moving Magento CMS or WordPress content into Shopify (or reverse paths your stack needs)
Merchants with builder shortcodes that will not render on the target
Sites that must rewrite embedded media and internal links after domain/path changes

Common use cases

Migrating CMS pages or blog posts with SEO fields where supported
Rewriting embedded image and link URLs after domain or path changes
Author / publisher mapping for editorial workflows
Cleaning builder shortcodes or unsupported HTML for the target editor
Protecting high-traffic content URLs with redirects

What Cart2Cart customizes

We scope which content types to include, how media is rewritten, and which SEO fields to carry. Sample pages are reviewed for layout and link integrity before Full Migration.

Platform considerations

Shopify pages/blogs, WordPress/Woo content, and Magento CMS blocks differ in structure and SEO fields. Custom Migration focuses on portable HTML and metadata the destination can store.

Note: The Target platform may require installing additional apps, plugins, or add-ons when a capability is not available by default. Custom Migration can map and import the data, but those Target-side apps/plugins often need to be installed and configured so the feature works in admin and on the storefront.

The best way to make sure everything is mapped correctly is to run a Demo Migration with your real Source platform data, then carefully check how entities look on the Target store before Full Migration.

Checklist for evaluating this customized migration

List must-keep pages/posts (policies, guides, high-traffic articles).
Decide which SEO fields (title, meta, slug) to preserve where supported.
Plan media and internal link rewriting for the new domain/paths.
Note builder shortcodes or HTML that the target editor cannot render.
Review sample pages for layout and links after Demo Migration.

We propose content rules, Demo-check samples, then migrate with your checklist.

Self-service Additional Options vs Custom Migration

CMS/blog migration support varies by cart pair. Description-image migration can help content bodies. Custom Migration extends HTML cleanup, authors, SEO fields, and link/media rewriting.

Migrate images from products/categories/blog descriptions — Self-service: Pull inline images from description HTML in the Wizard when enabled. Choose Custom Migration when: Custom Migration for full CMS/blog entity mapping, shortcode cleanup, and content URL redirects.

Availability depends on your Source → Target pair—confirm checkboxes in the Migration Wizard Entities / Additional Options step. See the Additional Options guide and Additional Options FAQ for pair-specific details. If Wizard options are not enough, schedule a Custom Migration call.

Already ran a self-service migration?

Yes—you can still apply this Custom Migration after a Wizard (self-service) run. Cart2Cart can restart migration with the customized rules; the Target store typically needs Clear current data on Target Store before Migration (or an equivalent cleanup of the entities from the previous self-service migration) so customized results are not mixed with the old import. Share your Source/Target carts and what already moved—Migration Experts will confirm the safest clear-and-rerun plan before Full Migration. Schedule a call if you already completed a Demo or Full Wizard migration and need customization next.

What we need to scope CMS & blog customization

Page builders, shortcodes, embedded media, and blog taxonomies make CMS content highly individual. Two WooCommerce blogs can need completely different cleanup and remapping rules.

Share staging or production access so we can crawl representative pages and posts (including builders and embeds). If live access is not allowed, a database dump of CMS/blog tables (and media references) can be analyzed offline; dump-based review often requires a deposit because restore and content inspection are billed engineering time up front.

Tip: Initial data-structure analysis is much more efficient when you prepare exact examples of the important attributes and fields on the Source, plus how each should be mapped on the Target store (sample products/customers/orders with field names, values, and desired Target destinations). Clear examples reduce discovery time and help Migration Experts quote and implement the customization accurately.

FAQs

Will page builders migrate pixel-perfect?

Rarely. We migrate content into the target’s editor-friendly HTML and note redesign needs.
