Description

JHMG Converter For Divi to Elementor lets you migrate your Divi-built pages to Elementor without rebuilding anything manually. Export your layouts from the Divi Builder Library, upload the JSON file, and the plugin creates fully converted Elementor draft pages — structure, content, and styles included.

No Divi license needed on the destination site. Works with standard Divi page exports and Divi Builder Library JSON files — upload one file and get a ready-to-edit Elementor draft.

Need to go the other direction? JHMG Converter For Elementor to Divi converts Elementor layouts back to Divi — the perfect companion plugin for agencies managing both builders.

How It Works

In Divi, go to Divi Library Portability and export your layout as a JSON file.
In WordPress, go to Tools Divi Elementor and upload the JSON.
The plugin converts the file’s first layout into an Elementor draft page — ready to open and edit.

Installation

Upload the plugin folder to /wp-content/plugins/.
Activate the plugin via Plugins Installed Plugins.
Go to Tools Divi Elementor to start converting.

Screenshots

Faq

Do I need Divi installed on the destination site?

No. The plugin reads the Divi JSON export format and converts it to Elementor data. Divi is not required on the site where you are importing.

Do I need Elementor installed?

Yes. Elementor (free or Pro) must be active on the site where you are importing layouts.

What export formats are supported?

The free plugin supports two Divi JSON export types:

et_builder — standard single-page export
et_builder_layouts — Divi Builder Library export (the first layout is converted)

et_theme_builder (Theme Builder template exports — header, footer, body) requires the Pro add-on; uploading one shows an error with a link to Pro.

Can I import multiple layouts at once?

The free plugin converts one JSON file per import — the first layout inside it. If your file contains more layouts, the results page shows a note pointing to the Pro add-on, which converts every layout across multiple files in a single run.

Will all styles be preserved exactly?

The converter maps Divi module settings (colors, fonts, spacing, borders, backgrounds) to their Elementor equivalents. Most visual properties transfer correctly. Some advanced Divi-specific features (custom CSS classes, Divi shortcode-based modules not in the supported list) are passed through as HTML or skipped. Divi’s WooCommerce modules require the Pro add-on — the free plugin skips them and notes it in the conversion report.

What happens to Code modules and custom CSS in my Divi export?

They are sanitized before anything is saved. An uploaded JSON file is untrusted input, so markup from Divi Code modules is filtered through WordPress’s standard post allowlist (wp_kses_post()) — scripts, styles, iframes, form elements and inline event handlers are removed — and imported custom CSS has markup, @import rules and script URLs stripped. Whenever something is removed, the conversion report tells you which module it came from so you can rebuild that piece with an Elementor widget. The plugin never asks you to paste in code and never evaluates any code from an import.

Can I convert Theme Builder headers and footers?

That requires the Pro add-on. The free plugin will show an error with a link to Pro if you upload a Theme Builder (et_theme_builder) export. Pro imports headers and footers as Elementor Library templates; displaying them as actual theme templates also requires Elementor Pro’s own Theme Builder.

Where do I find the converted pages?

After conversion, the plugin redirects you to a results page with direct links to edit, preview, or publish each converted layout. You can also find them under Pages (or Elementor My Templates for theme templates) with a “converted from Divi” title.
