Due to changes in the new layout systems and form modules, there may be configurations on your site that will not migrate to the next version of Web Express. These include:

  • Some nested block configurations (blocks inside of blocks), such as:
    • Expandables that reference other聽blocks
    • Responsive Visibility blocks
    • Block Wrapper blocks (usually used to place forms as blocks on a page)
    • Block Row blocks inside of other Block Row blocks
  • Contexts
    • Context will not be available in the next version of Web Express. Any blocks placed with Context will need to be re-added after the site's initial migration. While there will be a new way to add block content to a single page, group of pages, or all pages, other Context functionality will not be available, such as:
      • Setting breadcrumbs
      • Setting a menu path for content that is not part of the menu such as articles
  • Advanced forms with value setting conditionals
    • Form conditionals that set a value of a field based on the value of another field are not available.
  • Layouts on content types other than basic pages
    • The new page layout builder is only available on Basic Pages, so any layouts added to other content types will not be migrated.
  • Layout regions
    • Due to changes in layout systems, some block layouts will not completely migrate. These include:
      • Blocks placed in sidebar, or content sidebar regions
      • Any blocks placed via Context
      • All content blocks, such as Text Blocks, Hero Units, and Article Lists will be copied to the migrated site but may require you add the blocks back to their pages after the site's initial migration.
  • Links to page elements via block id
    • Some sites may add anchor links to specific areas of a page by linking to a block id. These block ids will not be migrated and will cause these links not to work properly.
  • Shortcodes
    • Most shortcodes will be converted to WYSWIYG plugins when the site is migrated
      • These were not able to migrate into the media library and video embeds will need to be fixed by adding them to the media library and then embedding in the page or block
    • Site Information Block
      • The site information block content is stored differently and any shortcodes used in it will need to be fixed once the site migrates.
