Transfer to Editor X | Wix Fix

Hello there, fellow designers! Today, we will be discussing a crucial topic for those who have been using the Wix Classic Editor and are thinking of making the switch to Editor X. This blog post will cover everything you need to know about transferring your Classic Editor site to Editor X, including some of the challenges you may face in the process, useful tips, and helpful resources to make the most of the Editor X platform.

Before diving in, though, we'd love to invite you to join our live learning community at https://livelearning.editorx.io/editor-x-tv. We conduct Monthly NoCode Design Challenges with fantastic prizes and offer mentorship to help you build your design business and further your career. Don't miss out! Now, let's dive into the world of Editor X.

What is Editor X?

Editor X is Wix's advanced platform explicitly built for designers working on web projects. It offers a wide range of tools and features that make it incredibly seamless to create stunning and highly responsive websites. Editor X is slowly becoming the go-to web design platform for many designers globally, thanks to its flexibility and responsiveness.

Switching to Editor X: A Word of Caution

Before you decide to transfer your Wix Classic Editor site to Editor X, there are a couple of vital points to consider:

- The transition won't be seamless – While the transfer process does move all the components from the Classic Editor to Editor X, there will still be plenty of work to do to make your website fully responsive.

- You can't backtrack – Once you have made the transfer to Editor X, there's no going back to the Classic Editor. So, make sure that you're entirely sure about making the move before proceeding.

To avoid regret and ensure a smooth transition, follow our advice and create a duplicate of your site using the "Site Actions" dropdown in Wix. This way, you'll have a backup of your original site in the Classic Editor and can freely work on the Editor X transfer without the fear of losing your previous work.

Transferring Your Site to Editor X: A Step-by-Step Guide

Once you're ready to transfer your site, follow the steps below:

1. Go to your Wix dashboard and hover over the "Site Actions" dropdown for the site you want to transfer.

2. Click on "Move Site to Editor X." Wix will provide some information about the transfer process and make sure you understand the implications of the transfer.

3. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the transfer process.

Keep in mind that transferring your site will not automatically make it fully responsive in Editor X. You will need to work on your site's design to optimize it for various devices and screen resolutions.

For those new to Editor X, we highly recommend checking out some tutorials to get a feel for the platform and its features. WixFix has a comprehensive tutorial on building a responsive website using Editor X, which is an excellent resource to learn from. Also, be sure to explore Editor X's various features and tools to help you create stunning, responsive web designs.
