Bridge the gap between proprietary funnel systems and flexible self-hosted environments. Move designs without rebuilding from blank pages.
WordPress remains the gold standard for website flexibility, SEO authority, and absolute data ownership. However, if you have built your sales funnel inside GoHighLevel's landing page software, migrating it over to WordPress can seem daunting. Since GoHighLevel uses a proprietary builder framework, there is no direct way to import a GHL funnel share link into Elementor or Divi.
In this guide, we will unpack how to migrate your sales funnels from GHL to WordPress by saving design files, mapping layout assets, and using HTML snapshots as a structured blueprint.
Understanding the WordPress Migration Reality
Design and content carry over; builder data and automations do not.
Before beginning your migration, it is critical to understand what can and cannot transfer automatically:
What Cannot Transfer Automatically: You cannot import raw GHL JSON builder data directly into WordPress page builders (like Elementor, Gutenberg, or Divi) to edit visually. They speak different code languages. Additionally, GHL backend workflows, automations, and CRM contact tags must be set up in a WordPress equivalent (like ActiveCampaign, FluentCRM, or MailPoet).
What Can Transfer: The entire layout, text content, image assets, color themes, CSS gradients, margins, custom fonts, and SEO headers. By using an export tool, you can retrieve the exact visual blueprints and copy files, cutting design rebuild time by up to 90%.
Three Ways to Migrate GoHighLevel Pages to WordPress
Method A keeps pages editable; B and C suit simple static pages.
Method A: The Visual Reconstruction Blueprint (Recommended)
The cleanest way to maintain maximum editability in WordPress is using your exported files as a design guide:
Run an export using the ExportGHL Sites exporter on your live GHL funnel.
Unzip the generated package. Open the static page in one window (using a local server preview or simple file rendering) to inspect styles and copy sections.
In your WordPress dashboard, create a new page in Elementor or your page builder.
Upload the extracted font assets (woff/woff2) and high-resolution images directly to the WordPress Media Library.
Copy and paste text blocks and copy layout spacing using the exported CSS variables as your styling reference.
If you have simple lead capture landers, landing pages, or thank-you pages that do not require visual WordPress editing:
Access your WordPress hosting account via SFTP (using FileZilla or your host's file manager).
Create a new directory inside your root WordPress folder (e.g., /public_html/landing-page/).
Upload the contents of your exported GHL site folder (including the index.html, /assets structure) directly into that folder.
Your page is now served instantly at yourwordpresssite.com/landing-page/ completely bypassed from the heavy WordPress PHP engine.
Method C: HTML Block Embeds
You can use standard page builders to host custom HTML blocks. Paste the clean, asset-rewritten HTML from ExportGHL's pages/[filename].html file directly into a raw HTML container element. Make sure the linked assets (CSS/JS paths) are hosted relative to your WordPress media directory.
Binding Backend Forms on WordPress
Swap the iframe for a plugin form and send submissions via webhook.
Once your visual pages are recreated, you must reconnect the backend lead generation systems. In GoHighLevel, this is handled by custom iframe embeds. In WordPress, replace these forms with plugins like Gravity Forms, Fluent Forms, or Contact Form 7. Point their submission webhooks to Zapier or your new email service provider to automate workflows.
Save days of asset scraping. Stop manually right-clicking and saving background images and stylesheets — bundle your GHL funnel assets with ExportGHL Sites. Moving the whole account? Clone your automations too with ExportGHL Workflows.
Frequently asked questions
Can you import a GoHighLevel funnel directly into WordPress?
No. GoHighLevel uses a proprietary builder framework, so there is no direct way to import a GHL funnel share link into Elementor or Divi. You cannot import raw GHL JSON builder data directly into WordPress page builders to edit visually — they speak different code languages. What you can move is the entire layout, text content, image assets, color themes, CSS gradients, margins, custom fonts, and SEO headers, using an export tool to retrieve the exact visual blueprints.
What is the best way to migrate a GHL funnel to WordPress?

How do I reconnect my funnel forms after moving to WordPress?
Once your visual pages are recreated, replace GoHighLevel's custom iframe form embeds with WordPress plugins like Gravity Forms, Fluent Forms, or Contact Form 7. Point their submission webhooks to Zapier or your new email service provider to automate workflows.
