What have you already tried:
Migrating my site.
Additional information:
I can’t help feeling left behind by Wix. Rather than adding new features and possibilities to their original platform, available for everyone, instead, they launched brand new editors, first Editor X which has now been superseded by Wix Studio, leaving behind the people who spent countless hours building websites with the original editor since the beginning. This seems like such a bizarre move. There isn’t even the option of transferring media files, photography, saved designs or shops and products. The only available option is to restart from scratch, losing all SEO and ranking, and having to spend months re-designing my website.
Please Wix, if anyone in your business cares about your early supporters and the thousands of people still using the original editor, make the migration a feature priority for 2024.

With what i have noticed so far, The migration feature from WIX editor to WIX Studio is not a priority in 2024 because: 
- WIX Studio is a new platform for agencies and freelancers that is replacing Editor X¹.
- Editor X is still available for existing users, but new sign-ups are closed¹².
- The migration feature from Editor X to WIX Studio is currently in progress and will be gradually opened in December 2023².
- WIX Editor sites will not migrate to WIX Studio, as the transition only affects the workspace³.
Therefore, it seems that WIX is focusing on developing and improving WIX Studio as their main product for advanced web design, and the migration feature from WIX editor to WIX Studio is not a high priority for them in 2024.
I hope this answers your question. If you need more information, please let me know. You can as well Check on WIX FAQS.

it’s like saying
I already bought my horse and cart and want a button to push that will transform it into a Tesla
I think it’s not going to happen.
I hear you and I feel exactly the same. I am currently working on my new site and am a bit frustrated that I have to relearn everything.

I mean it’s a bizarre analogy and completely irrelevant to my point. We all signed up for Wix and built our websites. Usually, a company sticks with what it makes and improves upon it, adding features and refining its product, rather than jumping to a new and incompatible editor and leaving its existing customers in the past.
If you need an old timely analogy to help you understand: it is a lot like a horse and carriage company suddenly switching to making automobiles, leaving all their loyal customers with horses to clean up their own sh*t.
Hope that helps.

well I would hope that if you own a horse you are already cleaning up after it… 
I was trying to point out that it is not simple to migrate between 2 totally different systems and everyone keeps expecting a simple solution.
Sometimes in life you need to destroy everything you’ve built and start again to be able to evolve.
All question is about money.
Everytime Wix changes their EDITOR → producing cost for customers.
-As example engaging coders for their already existing and working pages to be able to rebuild / transfer / adapt them to the new EDITOR.
Just one of many negative reasons, why changing the whole editor → causes problems.
