Kirby 3.x Upgrade from Editor to Writer (JSON-Code)

The CMS Questions

I have an (more or less outdated) question about the upgrade process from Kirby 3.4.x in combination with the outdated “Editor” plugin and the “Builder” plugin to Kirby 3.10.x with the built-in Blocks and Writer.

The switch from Builder to Blocks works. :white_check_mark:

But I’m having problems transferring the existing content from the Editor fields to Writer, which is displayed here in both the panel and the frontend JSON code. :cross_mark:

I have tried a number of things, including downgrading to Kirby 3.6 and writing my own regex. But so far, I have not been successful.

So, my general question is: is there a workaround or migration that can convert the existing "Editor” content to HTML that Writer understands?

Thx for any tips.

@christianwalter I would think you need to migrate from Editor to Blocks as well, not to Writer. Cause looking at this code kirby/src/Cms/BlockConverter.php at main · getkirby/kirby · GitHub - it seems to me like Kirby still should convert editor content to blocks content. If this isn’t working, we have to look into it, but intention seems to be still in place.
