Ask the receiving builder to distinguish Webflow's code archive, Collection exports, and inquiry records. Require a sample that becomes editable WordPress content before approving the full move. Primary documentation linked below was checked on 2026.10.22. The proposed reconstruction checks are editorial recommendations. ## What should this migration produce? Require a working WordPress website with editable content and documented replacement features. Specify the intended editing experience for articles, seller pages, photographs, and downloads. Ask the builder to demonstrate those tasks using the access you will receive. ## Is a Webflow code export a WordPress theme? Treat it as source material for reconstruction. Webflow exports HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and assets. Its documentation does not describe that archive as a WordPress theme. [Code export contents, checked 2026.10.22](https://help.webflow.com/hc/en-us/articles/33961386739347-How-do-I-export-my-Webflow-site-code), checked 2026.10.22. Ask which layouts will be rebuilt and which code can be reused. Require ordinary WordPress editing for content you expect to maintain yourself. ## Who can obtain the code archive? Confirm export access before relying on it. Webflow requires a paid Workspace plan for code export; a Site plan alone does not include that capability. [Export eligibility, checked 2026.10.22](https://help.webflow.com/hc/en-us/articles/33961386739347-How-do-I-export-my-Webflow-site-code), checked 2026.10.22. If access is missing, have the builder identify an authorized recovery route and its scope before committing to a migration price. ## Where does Webflow CMS content come from? Export the needed Collections as CSV. Webflow documents separate Collection exports for recovering CMS data. [Collection export procedure, checked 2026.10.22](https://help.webflow.com/hc/en-us/articles/33961290794771-How-do-I-import-content-into-the-Webflow-CMS), checked 2026.10.22. Inventory each Collection and its fields. Keep the original exports alongside the converted import files so a reviewer can trace missing or changed content. ## Does the code archive contain populated Collection pages? Do not rely on it for CMS content. Webflow excludes CMS functionality and bound Collection content from code exports. [CMS export exclusions, checked 2026.10.22](https://help.webflow.com/hc/en-us/articles/33961386739347-How-do-I-export-my-Webflow-site-code), checked 2026.10.22. Compare a published guide with its CSV row and rebuilt WordPress page. Keep missing content visible in the migration worksheet. ## Can the standard WordPress importer read a Webflow CSV? Plan and verify a separate conversion or import method. WordPress's standard WordPress importer documents WordPress export files, not Webflow Collection CSVs. [WordPress import options, checked 2026.10.22](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/tools-import-screen/), checked 2026.10.22. Ask the builder to name the selected method, its supported fields, and its error reporting. Test it with representative content before a complete run. ## How should Collection fields map into WordPress? Approve a destination for every field you intend to keep. The worksheet below proposes a structure rather than describing a built-in importer. | Webflow material | Proposed WordPress destination | Acceptance check | | --- | --- | --- | | Guide name | Post title | Exact approved title | | Guide body | Editable post content | Formatting and links retained | | Review date | Defined custom field | Intended date visible | | Related service | Explicit relation or link | Correct service opens | | Main image | Media item and page image | File copied and displayed | | Static seller page | Editable WordPress page | Layout and inquiry route work | ## Should each Collection become a custom post type? Choose the structure by the publishing task. A collection of ordinary articles may suit posts, while specialized content may need a dedicated type. WordPress recommends registering custom post types in a plugin to preserve portability across theme changes. [Custom content definitions, checked 2026.10.22](https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/post-types/registering-custom-post-types/), checked 2026.10.22. Request a demonstration of editing and exporting the proposed structure. ## How should rich text and relationships be converted? Check them as distinct data types. Webflow exports rich text as HTML and relationships as text values. [Exported field formats, checked 2026.10.22](https://help.webflow.com/hc/en-us/articles/33961290794771-How-do-I-import-content-into-the-Webflow-CMS), checked 2026.10.22. Have the builder document how relationship values find their WordPress destinations. Inspect linked guides and services after import. A visible label alone does not prove the relation survived. ## Are photographs safely copied by exporting CSV? Download and verify them separately. Webflow's exported image and file fields contain hosted URLs that can break when the source site is deleted. [Asset recovery warning, checked 2026.10.22](https://help.webflow.com/hc/en-us/articles/33961290794771-How-do-I-import-content-into-the-Webflow-CMS), checked 2026.10.22. Require a recovery list showing the source file and replacement location. Check images embedded inside article bodies as well as main images. ## What should happen to downloadable documents? Recover the actual files and reconnect their download links. Assign each approved document a destination in the new site or controlled file storage. Open it from the rebuilt page. Keep uncertain file rights or missing originals UNRESOLVED until the owner supplies evidence. ## How should static Webflow pages be reconstructed? Rebuild their content and layout as maintainable WordPress pages. Ask the builder to identify shared headers, footers, service sections, and exceptional page designs. Compare the preview with the approved source content. Require an editing demonstration for each distinct page arrangement. ## What about interactions and animation? Agree which interactions serve a visitor task and should survive. Have the builder demonstrate navigation, expanding sections, image galleries, and motion on the destination. Record changed behavior before acceptance. Avoid assuming that a similar screenshot establishes working interaction. ## Will Webflow forms work after code export? Rebuild their processing. Webflow excludes form submission processing from exported sites. [Form export boundary, checked 2026.10.22](https://help.webflow.com/hc/en-us/articles/33961386739347-How-do-I-export-my-Webflow-site-code), checked 2026.10.22. Define the new form fields, receiving destination, confirmation, and reply behavior. Inspect a marked test received through the WordPress implementation before release. ## Does the code archive include previous inquiries? Recover inquiry records through their separate export route. Webflow says pre-existing form submissions are excluded from code export and can be exported separately. [Submission archive exclusion, checked 2026.10.22](https://help.webflow.com/hc/en-us/articles/33961386739347-How-do-I-export-my-Webflow-site-code), checked 2026.10.22. Keep private records in approved storage. Ask who checks completeness and who reconciles submissions received during the transition. ## What replaces Webflow site search? Specify and test a replacement search experience. Webflow lists site search among functions absent from exported sites. [Search export limitation, checked 2026.10.22](https://help.webflow.com/hc/en-us/articles/33961386739347-How-do-I-export-my-Webflow-site-code), checked 2026.10.22. Give the WordPress builder representative visitor questions. Check whether the intended guides and service pages appear in the results. ## What happens to restricted pages? Review access protection before making any replacement public. Webflow warns that password protection does not survive code export. [Password protection warning, checked 2026.10.22](https://help.webflow.com/hc/en-us/articles/33961386739347-How-do-I-export-my-Webflow-site-code), checked 2026.10.22. Give protected material an approved storage and access plan. Require a separate verification that private content remains restricted. ## Does the move confirm IDX compatibility? Keep that question open until the provider confirms the proposed WordPress setup. Identify the supported integration, required licenses, and responsible maintainer. Ask for a demonstration of search and received property inquiries. Do not equate a copied embed with an accepted integration. ## How should search settings be recovered? Add titles, descriptions, and rendered structured data to the reconstruction inventory. Ask where each value lives in WordPress. Compare the resulting pages with the approved source. Keep the detailed launch checks in the existing [migration checklist](/articles/site-migration-seo-checklist). ## What should the pilot reconstruction include? Include a static service page, a structured guide, a document download, and an inquiry route representative of your site. Ask the builder to record missing values and manual repairs. Approve the content model before the remaining pages are rebuilt around it. ## Who maintains the new WordPress dependencies? Name the maintainer for the chosen theme, importer, custom fields, forms, and required integrations. Record the license holder and recovery responsibilities. Keep provider selection in the [managed WordPress hosting comparison](/articles/managed-wordpress-hosting-agent-website-scope); this migration brief assigns responsibility for the reconstructed website. ## When can you end Webflow hosting? Wait until content, assets, inquiry records, and replacement functions pass acceptance. Require the builder to identify any remaining dependence on Webflow-hosted URLs. Inspect the completed recovery list before authorizing cancellation. A finished visual rebuild can still depend on unrecovered source files. ## What should remain unresolved in a quote? Leave uninspected exports, missing assets, integration eligibility, reconstruction effort, and final price UNRESOLVED. Ask the bidder to connect each uncertainty to a concrete inspection. Avoid accepting an unconditional migration promise before the bidder has examined representative source material. ## What belongs in the receiving builder's brief? Include the Collection list, code-export availability, asset recovery list, destination content map, and pilot acceptance criteria. Add the separate inquiry-record handoff. Request a written reconstruction scope that identifies who supplies every missing component. Bring the approved requirements and open questions to the [real estate website brief](/for/real-estate). Request the agreed work through the [written website scope](/work). - [Move a real estate agent website from WordPress to Webflow](/articles/migrate-wordpress-agent-website-to-webflow) - [Can Mem import Notion notes?
