Frequently Asked Questions

What is HTML to WP?

HTML to WP is an online service that converts your HTML design into a fully functional WordPress theme. We transform your static HTML/CSS design into a dynamic WordPress theme while preserving your exact layout, images, and styles.

Will my pages and posts be imported into WordPress?

No. HTMLtoWP converts your design into a WordPress theme — the templates, layout, styles, menus, and widget areas. Your actual content (pages, posts, images, products) is not imported. After installing your downloaded theme, you'll add your real content through the WordPress admin (Pages, Posts) the normal way.

The "Hello World" post and sample pages you see in the preview are demo content — they exist only so you can see how your theme renders with real WordPress data.

Need full content migration? Theme installation and end-to-end site migration (existing pages and posts moved into WordPress for you) are available upon request via our support center, or as part of our Theme Installation and Full Migration plans where available.

I want to migrate my whole site to WordPress — is HTMLtoWP for that?

HTMLtoWP, by itself, handles the theme part of a migration: turning your existing design into a real WordPress theme. The remaining steps — installing WordPress, installing the theme, recreating each page/post with your content, and configuring menus — are done separately.

If you'd like a turnkey migration where we install WordPress, set up your theme, and import your existing pages and posts for you, that's available via:

  • Upon request — contact us through the support center with your sitemap or a list of pages and we'll quote a custom migration.
  • Theme Installation plan — we install WordPress and configure your converted theme on your hosting (where offered).
  • Full Migration plan — Theme Conversion + Theme Installation + your existing pages and posts imported into WordPress (where offered).

The plans above are added to the pricing panel as they become available or contact support for a custom quote.

How does the conversion work?

We offer three ways to submit your design:

File Upload — Upload your HTML file directly (.html, .htm, max 5MB). Images, CSS, and fonts are automatically resolved.

Enter URL — Paste the URL of any live website. We fetch the page and all its assets automatically.

Paste HTML — Copy and paste your HTML code directly for quick conversions.

Our conversion engine analyzes your design structure, downloads all assets (images, CSS, fonts), and generates a complete WordPress theme that preserves your original layout. You then review the result, upload any missing assets, and customize with AI chat before downloading.

What features are included in the converted theme?

  • Pixel-perfect preservation of your original design
  • Dynamic navigation menu with WordPress menu management
  • Widget areas for dynamic content (sidebar + 3 footer areas)
  • Proper WordPress template hierarchy (index, page, single, archive, search, 404)
  • Responsive design preserved from your original CSS
  • Properly enqueued stylesheets and scripts
  • Sample demo content created on activation (placeholder pages, posts, menus — replaced by your own content in WordPress)
  • WordPress Customizer support

What is Chat Refinement?

After your theme is generated, you can use the built-in chat to make adjustments. Simply describe what you want changed in plain English:

  • "Make the header sticky"
  • "Change the footer to 3 columns"
  • "Add a sidebar to the right"
  • "Fix the mobile navigation menu"

The system modifies the relevant theme files and updates your preview in real-time.

Why doesn't my theme look exactly like my HTML?

After conversion, some assets (images, fonts, CSS files) may not have been accessible from your source — for example, files behind authentication, CORS restrictions, or relative paths that couldn't be resolved. These are listed as missing assets below the preview.

Upload each missing file to restore the full look of your original design. Once all assets are in place and you've made any customizations via chat, your theme will match your HTML.

How long does the conversion take?

Most conversions complete in minutes. HTMLtoWP analyzes your design, downloads all assets, generates WordPress theme files, and validates the output automatically.

What file types are supported?

  • HTML files (.html, .htm)
  • CSS files (.css) — automatically resolved
  • Images (jpg, png, gif, webp, svg, ico, avif)
  • Fonts (.woff, .woff2, .ttf, .otf, .eot)
  • JavaScript files (.js) — preserved in the theme

Do I need technical knowledge?

No technical knowledge is required. Upload your HTML, let the converter do its job, use the chat to refine, and download. The theme works like any standard WordPress theme, but with your custom design.

How to install the theme?

In your WordPress admin panel: Appearance → Themes → Add New → Upload Theme → Browse → Select the downloaded .zip file → Install Now → Activate.

Do you offer refunds?

Yes, we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied with your theme, you can request a full refund within 30 days of purchase.

Will my converted theme work on any WordPress site?

Yes. The generated theme follows the standard WordPress theme structure (header.php, footer.php, functions.php, index.php, page.php, single.php, etc.) and works on any self-hosted WordPress install — Bluehost, SiteGround, WP Engine, Cloudways, your own VPS, or local dev environments like Local by Flywheel.

Can I edit the theme files after download?

Absolutely. You get a clean, well-organized theme ZIP with readable PHP. Open it in your editor, tweak template parts, add custom blocks, or change functions.php — everything is yours to modify, fork, and extend.

Does the converted theme support responsive design?

Yes — your existing CSS media queries are preserved verbatim. If your HTML is mobile-friendly, your WordPress theme will be too. The converter does not touch your CSS layout logic.

Is the theme SEO-friendly?

Yes. It uses standard WordPress hooks (wp_head, wp_footer), generates clean HTML5, supports proper title tags, and works out of the box with any SEO plugin (Yoast, Rank Math, SEOPress, All in One SEO).
