Migrate Elementor to Breakdance

Version: 2.1.0 Updated: 2026-08-04 Freshly updated: v2.1.0 adds design-token awareness: conversion writes now register the colors and typography they carry as named design tokens in Breakdance's own global styles, and converted pages reference those tokens instead of carrying value copies. Reuse registered tokens instead of re-inlining raw values, and report the registration in the migration summary.

Converts Elementor-built WordPress pages to Breakdance Builder. Reads Elementor's JSON widget tree from post meta, maps each widget to its Breakdance element equivalent, generates a migration plan for approval, and writes Breakdance content to the target pages. Use this skill whenever someone wants to move from Elementor to Breakdance, switch builders from Elementor to Breakdance, or rebuild Elementor pages in Breakdance.

What This Skill Does

Breakdance is a newer builder created by the Oxygen team with a focus on clean output and familiar visual editing. Both Elementor and Breakdance are widget/element-based builders, making this a relatively smooth migration path. The main challenge is mapping Elementor's JSON widget tree (_elementor_data) to Breakdance's post meta format, translating settings names, and handling the structural differences in how each builder handles sections, columns, and responsive design. Both sit among the 16 page builders Respira reads and writes natively, so extraction and injection run through the same builder-aware tooling Respira uses everywhere else.
