Migrate from WordPress
WordPress can look great. ArtInStack keeps the portfolio intact and handles client delivery without a plugin stack.
Why creators leave WordPress
It’s rarely one big failure. It’s the slow accumulation of small ones: folders bolted onto a blog media library, updates that break live client links, and three plugins uploading the same masters three times.
No native way to organize a shoot. WordPress’s media library was built for blog posts, not 2,000-image weddings, so photographers bolt on folder plugins just to find last Tuesday’s gallery.
Updates break what you didn’t touch. A core or plugin update lands, and a gallery won’t render, or download links clients already have go dead, discovered only when someone emails asking where their photos went.
Three plugins doing one job badly. Gallery display, client proofing, and print sales usually don’t share a library, so the same high-res files get uploaded three times. Cost hides in the seams too: hosting, premium licenses, and often a maintenance retainer that never shows up as one invoice line.
Moving to ArtInStack brings your portfolio over intact and finally hands client delivery to something built for it, not patched together for it. The migrate job isn’t exporting HTML. It’s consolidating the archive and the client handoff into one place that doesn’t need a maintenance plan.
Start with Import Site. It does the heavy lifting on content and media. Everything below is the plan for before and after.
What to move first
Start with an inventory: image masters and derivatives, the public URLs you need to keep working, and any client galleries still gated behind a password or invite.
Each has a home waiting in ArtInStack: portfolio pages for the public work, portal grants for the private galleries.
After import
Rebuild your navigation and key landing pages in the page editor, connect delivery to your client portal, and double-check that old WordPress links redirect to their new home.
If a large RAW upload has you thinking about storage cost, start with the Photography Cloud Storage & Cost Estimator.
