Very good, bulk is slow and error prone, but not developers fault

    Very good plugin, which helps to migrate a lot of posts.

    We have a project with ~8000 posts, which needs to be converted. Only standard text and images…

    Unfortunatly WordPress itself is pushing Gutenberg, but not providing tools for this task.

    This plugin is helping a lot. Basically it opens the browser, clicks the button, saves the post, opens the next post …

    A quite clever solution, which unfortunately is slow and sometimes breaks.. Means you have to monitor the task and reload the tab from time to time…

    @adrian2k7 thanks for the kind words and review, and as you noted Convert to Blocks is a bit limited by how WordPress and the Block Editor handle the conversion from Classic Editor content to blocks and thus the slower handling when bulk processing thousands of posts (though, still, it works). Please let us know if you run into any enhancements that would make Convert to Blocks more useful to you!

    The problems we have are “random” server errors. Too much load, maybe… Nothing you can do something about…

    I’m not sure, if it could work better with some “processing view”, which opens the pages within an iframe and could just do a random reload, if there is nothing happening in an iframe.

    FYI we are currently at ~66% after ~10 days. On a test system. But we have enough time and can migrate the live system before a major upgrade (theme migration to Gutenberg)
