Aspen to Weaver Xtreme Admin

This tool will non-destructively convert Aspen to Weaver Xtreme settings. Please, read the instructions on the "Help" tab before proceeding. While it is safe to directly convert a production site directly, it is always safer and less disruptive to visitors if you can first convert a development site.

Conversion Options

Please select file to convert first.
Download Converted settings from to your computer.

You converted settings have been saved in the WordPress database. As long as you can see this message, the conversions from the listed Aspen settings file are available for download. By clicking the following Download link, the converted settings will downloaded to the location of your choice on your own computer. You can then use the Weaver Xtreme Save/Restore tab to load these converted settings to your Weaver Xtreme site. Be sure to save your existing Weaver Xtreme settings first.

Convert Aspen [aspen_xxx] Shortcodes to Weaver Xtreme equivalents

If you've used Aspen shortcodes (e.g., [aspen_hide_if]), you will likely have the shortcodes scattered throughout your content. Rather than try to convert these, a new plugin called Weaver Theme Compatibility is available automatically supports the old Aspen shortcodes. In fact, that plugin will allow you to use most Aspen, Weaver II, and even Weaver Xtreme shortcodes, with any other WP theme.

Convert Per Page and Per Post Settings

Both Aspen and Weaver Xtreme support Per Page and Per Post settings. Most of Aspen Per Page/Post settings are supported by Weaver Xtreme, but with different internal names. This option will permanently, but non-destructively, copy your Aspen Per Page/Post settings to equivalent settings used by Weaver Xtreme. These new Custom Field settings are permanent, and can't easily be removed from your database. The old Aspen Per Page/Post settings will not be deleted, so you can switch back to using Aspen if needed. You will find that you will probably want to run the Per Page/Post conversion on your production site. But remember, it is always a very good idea to make a backup of your WP Database first.

Aspen to Weaver Xtreme Instructions

Aspen and Weaver Xtreme are very different themes. While they share a family history, they are as different as any two members of a "real" family. Weaver Xtreme is the newest theme, and has been updated to take advantage of the latest in web design technology.

While these themes are different, they share enough history that it is possible to automatically convert many of your Aspen setting to mostly compatible Weaver Xtreme settings. Please note that this conversion is nowhere near 100% complete - but it will convert maybe 90% of your settings. This conversion has been designed is such a way that the converted settings will allow you to then take advantage of many of Weaver Xtreme's new features without being overly burdened with legacy constraints of Aspen.

Note that the conversions done by this tool are non-destructive. You will always be able to go back to Aspen and have all your settings intact.

Converting Settings

Some of the main differences between Aspen and Weaver Xtreme are in 4 areas: Menus, Sidebars, the Header, and Font handling. Mostly, menus will convert quite well, but if you have custom CSS for you menus, it will likely have to be redone.

Weaver Xtreme does not support separate widget areas (Left and Right) for two column widget areas - this is accomplished using Columns per widget are in Xtreme. Thus, sidebar widget area settings are all set to the Primary or Secondary sidebar areas as appropriate. The visual styling of widget areas and widgets is largely intact, but you will likely want to manually setup the new layouts. You may have to reorganize which widgets go where. This is usually a fairly simple process.

Weaver Xtreme offers far greater customization of the Header area, and you may need to recreate your header, especially if you've used the header widget area or HTML insertion. Finally, since Weaver Xtreme has so much more flexibility in handling fonts than Aspen, and uses a completely different font family stack. The conversion will map the old font selections to similar fonts in Xtreme. You may need to manually reset your fonts. Custom Google Fonts are not converted.

You should have both Aspen and Weaver Xtreme installed.
It is highly recommended that you create a backup of your WP DataBase first.
Using Aspen's Save/Restore tab, download your settings - probably all settings to a .w2b file on your computer.
Open Aspen to Weaver Xtreme from the Dashboard tools tab.
From the Convert tab, use the Choose File button to select the Aspen settings file you want to convert.
Click the "Upload and Convert theme/backup button. This will load the file, and convert it to Weaver Xtreme settings.
At the top of the refreshed page, you will get a "CONVERSION REPORT". This report is important! It contains a summary of the incompatible settings, and more importantly, a list of settings that require manual conversion. You might want to copy/paste this report to an editor, or even a temporary WP page. If you lose track of this information, simply repeat the above conversion process. Nothing is lost.
Finally, you should download the converted settings to your computer. This will create a .wxt or .wxb file that you can now upload to from the Weaver Xtreme Save/Restore tab.

Converting Per Page and Per Post Settings

This converter will also convert your per page and per post settings from Aspen to Weaver Xtreme. This is a two step process. First, generate the report. This will give you a list of the pages that have Per Page/Post settings to convert. Then click the Convert button. This conversion is non-destructive - all your original Aspen settings remain intact. A new set of per page/post settings is added that is compatible with Weaver Xtreme.

The report (and, in fact, the conversion itself) will show which settings were converted, which might need some manual tweaking, and which are not convertible. You can run the converter more than once - it won't create duplicates, but will convert any new per page/post settings you might have created while switching back to Aspen.

Converting Aspen Shortcodes

A new plugin, Weaver Theme Compatibility, is available on WordPress.org. This new plugin supports most Aspen shortcodes for any theme, including Weaver Xtreme. This new plugin was not released at the time this version of this converter version was released.
