Perhaps you migrated over to Elementor, WP Bakery, Bricks, Gutenberg etc — or you need to migrate away from Divi Page Builder but you’re worried about losing your content?
The Foxco Divi Content Cleaner is a professional-grade WordPress plugin that safely removes all Divi Page Builder shortcodes while preserving your valuable content.
Developed by Foxco, this plugin transforms your Divi-powered posts and pages into clean, standard WordPress content that works with any theme or page builder. Our client had hundreds of blog posts with these dreaded shortcodes and while figuring out a solution (regex db find and replace etc) I thought this might be an issue others are having too.
The Problem This Solves
When you decide to move away from Divi Page Builder, your posts are filled with complex shortcodes like [et_pb_section], [et_pb_row], and [et_pb_column] that make your content unreadable in other themes. Manual cleanup would take hours or days for large sites.
