Why switch

Why migrate from DataLife Engine?

You're not alone. Here's what DataLife Engine users struggle with.

1

Documentation and community support are primarily in Russian — English resources are scarce.

2

Commercial license required — and the licensing model is opaque for international buyers.

3

Plugin and template ecosystem is small compared to WordPress's 60,000+ plugins.

Complete migration

Everything we move from DataLife Engine to WordPress.

We don't just dump your data. We rebuild your site properly in WordPress.

Content & Structure

All articles, categories, static pages, comments, user profiles, and media files.

Includes: Articles, static pages, categories, tags, comments, user profiles

Media & Files

Every image, document, PDF, and downloadable file is migrated to the WordPress Media Library with proper metadata, alt text, and folder organization.

Users & Roles

All user accounts and roles from DataLife Engine are mapped to WordPress roles (administrator, editor, author, subscriber). Profiles and avatars preserved.

SEO & URLs

Meta titles, descriptions, canonical URLs, and 301 redirects from every old URL to the new WordPress URL. Your search rankings are preserved.

Beyond content

We rebuild your DataLife Engine site in WordPress.

Same look, same structure, modern WordPress under the hood.

Identical Design

We create a pixel-perfect WordPress theme that replicates your current DataLife Engine design. Same layout, colors, typography, and navigation. Your visitors won't notice anything changed. Alternatively, we can install a premium theme (Divi, Elementor, Astra, etc.) and configure it to match.

Custom Post Types & Fields

If your DataLife Engine site uses custom content types, we create matching Custom Post Types in WordPress with ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) so your structured data stays structured.

Taxonomy & Category Mapping

Categories, tags, and custom taxonomies from DataLife Engine are mapped to WordPress equivalents. Your content organization is fully preserved.

Plugin Configuration

We install and configure WordPress plugins to match your current functionality: WooCommerce for e-commerce, Yoast for SEO, Gravity Forms for contact forms, WPML for multilingual, WP Rocket for performance, and more.

Common questions

Everything you're wondering, answered.

Which CMS platforms do you migrate to WordPress?
Everything mainstream and most of the niche. The big ones we move every week: Joomla, Drupal, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, Magento (Adobe Commerce), Webflow, PrestaShop, BigCommerce, TYPO3, DotNetNuke (DNN), ExpressionEngine, HubSpot CMS, Weebly, Concrete5. Niche but supported: Sitecore, Umbraco, SilverStripe, MODX, Jimdo, Kentico, Liferay. We also handle forum-CMS hybrids: XenForo Pages / Resource Manager, vBulletin Publishing Suite, Invision Community Pages. If your CMS isn't listed, submit a quote — our engineers have built custom scripts for dozens of bespoke and legacy systems.
Will I lose my SEO ranking after migrating to WordPress?
No. We set up automatic 301 redirects from every old CMS URL to its new WordPress counterpart. Meta titles, descriptions, canonical tags, Open Graph data, and schema markup are all preserved. Google holds your rankings and existing inbound links continue to work. We’ve migrated sites with hundreds of thousands of indexed pages without ranking loss — in many cases SEO actually improves because Yoast or Rank Math on WordPress gives you tools your old CMS didn’t have.
What about my custom post types, fields, and content structures?
Structured content stays structured. If your source CMS uses Joomla K2 items, Drupal nodes with custom fields, ExpressionEngine channels, or TYPO3 custom content elements, we create matching Custom Post Types (CPTs) in WordPress with Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) so every field, taxonomy, and relationship is preserved exactly. Categories, tags, and custom taxonomies map cleanly. Your editorial workflow stays familiar.
What happens to my online store / e-commerce data?
For Shopify, Magento, PrestaShop, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, and similar e-commerce migrations to WordPress, we move everything: products with variants and attributes, categories, brands, customers, full order history, reviews, coupons, gift cards, and 301 redirects. We install and configure WooCommerce on the WordPress side, set up payment gateways, shipping zones, taxes, and the relevant integrations (Stripe, PayPal, ShipStation, etc.). Stock levels and customer purchase history are preserved.
Will my users keep their accounts and passwords?
Usernames, emails, profile data, roles, and member metadata all move 1:1. Passwords often can’t be transferred because source and target use different hashing algorithms — this is a cryptographic limit, no service can break it. We solve it with a one-click “send new passwords” tool that emails every user a fresh password (or magic-link reset) on launch day. Where the algorithms match, passwords transfer cleanly.
How long does the migration take?
It depends on the scope. A content-only migration (pages, posts, media, users, SEO) typically takes 3–7 business days. A full migration that includes a custom WordPress theme replicating your current design pixel-for-pixel, plugin configuration, custom post types, and e-commerce setup can take 2–4 weeks. Very large or complex sites (enterprise CMS, multilingual, thousands of products) may need up to a month. Your live site stays online the entire time — we build everything on a staging server, you inspect and approve, then we run a final content sync and switch DNS with zero downtime.
What about my current design? Will my site look the same?
You choose. We can build a pixel-perfect custom WordPress theme that replicates your current design exactly — same layout, fonts, colors, navigation, components. Your visitors and members won’t notice anything changed except that pages load faster. Alternatively we can install a premium WordPress theme (Divi, Elementor, Astra, GeneratePress, Kadence) and configure it to match your current look, which is faster and cheaper. We’ll quote both in your free assessment so you can pick.
Why not just use a free import plugin?
Free import plugins are fine for tiny sites. They handle pages, posts, and basic images. They do not handle: custom post types, ACF fields, complex taxonomy structures, e-commerce data, member accounts, 301 redirects, SEO metadata, multilingual content, custom URL structures, or theme replication. Most real-world business sites need all of these. That’s where we come in.
What does “pay after success” actually mean?
You pay zero up front. We complete the migration, hand you access to the new WordPress site on our staging, and you inspect everything. If you’re satisfied, you pay the quoted price and we launch. If the result doesn’t match what we agreed and we can’t fix it, you don’t pay. We’ve been operating this way since 2010 because we trust our work — and our 4,200+ completed migrations speak for it.

We had our old forum running on phpBB and our new one on XenForo. Our old forum script and database were heavily customised. The standard conversion of the phpBB database and its merger with the existing new Xenforo database seemed to be impossible. gConverter.com...

“Invision Blog to WordPress”

I couldn't find anyone to do this conversion out there but these guys got it done and done right. With over 6500 entries covering 10 years it was important to get it right. If you are looking to convert from Invision Blog to Word Press then this is the way to go.
