CMS_Tree, CMS_Document, and per-page-type coupled data tables), while WordPress uses a flat wp_posts/wp_postmeta model with custom post types and key-value meta fields. This structural mismatch requires direct SQL extraction with multi-table joins per page type, content type remapping into WordPress CPTs and ACF field groups, media re-ingestion from Kentico's Media Library or Azure Blob Storage into the WordPress uploads directory, and manual conversion of Page Builder widget JSON into Gutenberg block markup. Additionally, 301 redirects must be implemented to preserve indexed URLs across the domain transition. These are the architectural mismatches and technical hurdles specific to a Kentico to WordPress migration.
Each Kentico page spans at least three SQL Server tables (CMS_Tree, CMS_Document, and a per-page-type coupled data table), requiring a distinct parameterized JOIN query for every page type in the instance to produce complete records.
Kentico KX13 stores widget configurations as JSON in the DocumentPageBuilderWidgets column of CMS_Document, and there is no automated converter to translate these into Gutenberg block markup — each widget type requires a custom transformation routine.
Kentico manages media across filesystem Media Libraries, database-stored Page Attachments in CMS_Attachment, and optionally Azure Blob Storage, each requiring a different extraction method before files can be re-ingested into the WordPress uploads directory.
Kentico's strongly-typed coupled data tables with explicit column schemas must be flattened into WordPress's key-value wp_postmeta model or ACF field groups, requiring explicit field-level mapping decisions for every custom page type before import scripts can be written.
Kentico's granular, role-based permission system with configurable per-object and per-module rights must be mapped onto WordPress's five default roles (Administrator, Editor, Author, Contributor, Subscriber), which may not accommodate complex editorial workflows without additional plugins.
When Kentico's Media Library is backed by Azure Blob Storage, media files are not readable via direct SQL queries or Kentico's own migration toolkit, requiring a separate download step using the Azure Storage SDK before migration can proceed.

“One of the easiest migrations I've ever been through. The team took care of everything — all our data, customer interactions and macros. The process was clear, straightforward and we felt supported all the way. An absolutely seamless experience for our support team and our customers.”
“Fantastic at both guiding us through the process and helping us fix things as they come up and dial them in.”
“The ease of the process and that ClonePartner was informing me what was going on at every step. If you're on the fence, do it. ClonePartner are great!”
“They were SO helpful. We had a few hiccups because our migration was in the middle of the process, but they were really flexible and did multiple delta migrations for us. We were able to map a lot of our old ticket data so it's usable for comparisons in the future.”
“Overall a great experience. We had to go back a few times to get everything just right, which was totally expected. The transition was smooth, and there was no data loss.”

Kentico to WordPress Migration: A Technical Guide
Kentico stores pages across CMS_Tree, CMS_Document, and coupled data tables — direct SQL extraction, not the REST API or Site Export, is the reliable path to WordPress.
Export Guide
How to Export Data from Kentico: Extraction Methods, API Limits & Portability
Kentico data extraction requires combining methods: direct SQL for content, filesystem copy for media, REST or CI for config. The REST API can't paginate pages, and the Site Export ZIP is Kentico-native only.
Choosing the right approach is key because migrating from Kentico to WordPress isn't just about moving data – it's about protecting your content, SEO, and reader experience.
