The Data Liberation project envisions a web where your data is truly yours, not locked in closed platforms. Moving to and within WordPress should be an easy, one-click process—whether moving from social networks, from a page builder to core blocks, or shifting from the classic editor to the block editor.
WordPress will give you powerful tools through 5 development phases to reclaim, manage, and move your content anywhere on the web—no hosting accounts are needed.
Rather than each person or organization needing to figure out a migration pathway, the WordPress community is coming together to provide the tools and guides for all. Everyone is welcome to share their knowledge and creations to facilitate others' transitions to WordPress and within WordPress.
- Phase 1: Migration Guides and Community Tools
- Phase 2: Importing and Exporting Structured Data
- Phase 3: Liberating Data From Closed Platforms
- Phase 4: Direct WordPress-to-WordPress Synchronization
- Phase 5: Content Creation Powerhouse
Whether you're a WordPress user, designer, or developer, your help makes the web more open. Ideas, feedback, expertise, testing, design, and code are all powerful ways to contribute. Explore the five development phases above for specific ways of contributing to each and participate in the discussions in this repository.
