01Two lanes: live and frozen
Recognised elements are rebuilt from your data and stay editable. Everything else is captured while the source plugin is still installed and printed exactly as it looked — not editable, but not broken either.
02You read the report before you leave
Which element stays live, which one freezes, which one carries dynamic content — the whole list is there before Elementor is switched off.
03Things that would stop working are not converted
An element that breaks when frozen — a checkout form, a contact form — is detected and its content is left alone. Being dynamic (goes stale) and being dangerous (stops working) are treated as two different problems.
04Header and footer templates included
Not just the page body: the source plugin’s header and footer templates are printed in their place too. Leaving them out is how a migration silently loses the footer.
05Converting to blocks is optional
Pages can be written into standard Gutenberg block markup in post_content, with the original content backed up to a meta field. After that step the content is native WordPress.
06The way back stays open
Re-enable the source plugin and MevvBridge steps aside.
