hello

I have a site (brutalism.com) and that is built in WordPress but modified with Divi and Toolset. Because the website is getting a makeover I want to migrate the complete site to Laravel PHP framework.

Is it possible you can give me advice how to export the current website so it can be imported into Laravel with all info I have now in WordPress/Divi/Toolset?

An answer would be appreciated a lot.

kind regards
Twan

Hi Twan,

Thank you for getting in touch.

As you are looking to move away from the wordpress CMS to the use of the Laravel Framework, there isn't much in advice that I can give.

The main problem is Laravel is a PHP Framework used to build out your web applications from scratch. This would mean your database structure and and essentially your datastructure would be completely different.

There isn't a simple way to export the data from wordpress and import it into laravel given that the wordpress data structure is different from what you may be setting up in Laravel.

All your custom post types and custom fields etc will all need to be remade in Laravel. Which essentially is rebuilding the site .

Thanks,
Shane
