Update your Editor X sites to Wix Studio

Earlier this week, we opened the option to update Editor X sites to Wix Studio for all Partners and Studio users.

For all the information you need, take a look at this article.

Additionally, as part of the transition from Editor X to Studio, we’ll be closing the option to create new Editor X sites starting April 2, 2024. You can still edit and duplicate your existing Editor X sites for now.

We’re here to support you every step of the way, and have a dedicated Discord channel where you can drop your questions about the update.

Automatically reorganize the DOM order of sections

Optimize the DOM order of section elements so your pages read clearly to site visitors with screen readers or other assistive technologies.

DOM order controls which order the information on a page is read. When you design using drag and drop, the DOM order can be affected by which order you add elements to the canvas. Now, when you’re done designing a section, you can automatically reorganize the DOM order so that elements are read out logically from left to right and top to bottom.

For free? That is, I´ve already paid for YEARLY subscription of Editor X, if I migrate, the plan value will be the same?

Is there an upgrade path for people using the editor before editor X.

Thank you,

Hey @Oferta_Mestre!

All Premium plans will stay active and connected to their sites. This means you can continue to benefit from all the features of your existing Editor X Premium plan, for as long as you choose to renew it.

You also have the option to switch to a Wix Studio plan, but it’s worth noting that this may mean losing some existing features.

Currently, there’s no option to update Wix sites to Wix Studio. There are a few reasons behind it, such as the difference in the infrastructure behind Wix and Wix Studio etc.

That being said, I understand how important a feature this would be, and will take the question as a “vote” for it. I would recommend submitting a feature request for it either way - Product Roadmap

@noahlovell Editor to Editor X was a already a feature many months ago and the WIX team is aware of that. I spent hours on the phone with WIx support and they continuously promised me that Editor to Edtor X / Studio would become available again in the future. I’m sure you are aware that many of your customers have been waiting for this feature to become available again amidst the total lack of attention for WIX Editor while Studio was being created. I wish it was as simple as recreating our Editor Sites in WIX Studio, but that would mean losing subscriptions, programs, and all kinds of data stored in apps that is not migrat-able. Please do not forget about your Editor users. I will submit ANOTHER ticket requesting this feature, even though you’re already aware of all this.

@noahlovell - do you know why the Product Page is still using Editor X’s settings post-migration? How can this be fixed? This is the #1 reason we were so eager to migrate :slight_smile: Thanks!

Hey @jared21233!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and insights :raised_hands:

The Wix to Editor X tool was removed before the launch of Studio since the team discovered a few unexpected behaviours that caused issues with sites that were updated using that tool.

Over the coming months, Editor X will be fully updated to Wix Studio, so the tool to update to from Wix to Editor X won’t be made available. That being said, I do know and understand how important this feature was, and how a comparable one for Wix to Studio would be greatly beneficial.

It’s worth noting we have teams for different products and continue to invest in the Wix Editor :muscle:

Either way, I appreciate the feedback and will continue sharing it with the relevant teams - if you have any other questions, let me know :slight_smile:

Good question @Stick_Dine :slight_smile:

This is expected behavior - when updating sites from X to Studio, we didn’t want to add any “surprises” like updated versions of apps - making the process as seamless as possible. (The site you had in the Editor X editor should be the same as what you’d now have in the Studio editor).

That being said, I believe the team is working on the option to update the product page to the new version :raised_hands: (Alternatively, you could uninstall the app and do a fresh reinstall, but you’d lose the design and additional Stores widgets you’ve added to the site. They’d need re setting up. I know there are some people in the Studio Discord have some experience with this. Might be worth chatting with them if you want to explore this option :slight_smile: )

Does this mean you will have more devs freed up to work on fixing Wix Studio now?

I’m hearing that this isn’t exactly true as this option isn’t showing up on my premium website created with Editor X. I’m very disappointed that I can now use Wix Studio but I cannot migrate my site to this platform.

Hey @user169!

I’ll send you a DM to get some more details about the site :slight_smile:

There are major core functionalities still not working in Studio that Work in Editor X like your very own Wix Video player and being able to have PDFs/docs of forms completed etc. Major issue, when designers WHAT STUDIO IS ALL ABOUT create sites that have ecomm and services setting up payments and connecting calendars REQUIRES giving the client ADMIN ACCESS and/or transferring the site to the client during the creation of a site which is before final site launches and payments!!! Not the case in EditorX. It is the main cause why we have haulted creating sites in Studio completely. All these bells and whistles of design keep being dropped when core functionality is being waitlisted. And now I just got the email on MAY 7 announcing that back on APRIL 2 you haulted any new sites on Editor X after the date has passed? I have been a champion for WIX for years and an early adopter for Studio but it has been a colossal hassle and cost me clients. These functionality bugs are happening in WIX’s own apps not third party apps. Please spend resources fixing the function before rolling out anymore fancy fab design or AI tools.

What about updating a website from the original Wix editor to Wix Studio?
