Lovable to WordPress: export your Lovable site as a WordPress theme

Lovable is a great way to build a site fast, but plenty of clients need to host on WordPress — for the plugin ecosystem, SEO tooling, or existing agency workflows. Here's how to convert a Lovable site to WordPress without rebuilding it from scratch.

If you built your marketing site, landing page, or portfolio on Lovable, at some point you might need it running on WordPress — a client requires it, you want a specific SEO plugin, or your team is already deep in the WordPress ecosystem. The good news: you don't need to rebuild your Lovable site from scratch to move it to WordPress.

How to convert a Lovable site to WordPress

  1. Publish your Lovable project — either on the default *.lovable.app URL or on your custom domain.
  2. Open the published URL in Chrome.
  3. Click the Themify extension and press Generate theme.
  4. Themify captures the fully rendered Lovable page into a WordPress theme .zip.
  5. Upload the .zip in Appearance → Themes → Add New → Upload Theme, then activate it.

What gets carried over

Everything visible on the live Lovable URL: layout, styles, typography, gradients, images, web fonts, and animations. Because Themify captures what the browser actually renders, custom effects built in Lovable stay pixel-identical in the WordPress version.

Multi-page Lovable projects

Themify follows internal links so you can convert multi-page Lovable projects, not just a single route. Each captured page becomes part of the WordPress theme.

Frequently asked questions

Does Lovable have a WordPress export?
Lovable itself doesn't export a WordPress theme directly, but any published Lovable app is a real webpage, which is exactly what Themify needs. Themify reads the live page in the browser and packages it as a WordPress theme.
Will my Lovable animations work in the WordPress version?
Yes. Themify captures the rendered CSS and JavaScript-driven animations exactly as Chrome renders them on the live Lovable URL.
Can I still edit the content in WordPress after conversion?
Yes. Once installed, the theme is editable through WordPress like any other theme, and you can wire in dynamic content via the standard WordPress admin.
