Where is the content of CMS pages / static blocks, created before installing the extension?

I installed the extension and tried to edit a page, but I noticed that my old HTML is not there anymore? Is this extension only made for completly fresh Magento shops?

I've got the same issue, what i'm guessing is that the data has to be migrated to the https://github.com/Magenerds/WysiwygWidget extension. When i created a test block before and after installing i noticed what the difference is between the content of the blocks.

Content column Before:

<p>Test 1232433454354353</p>

Content column After:

<div class="pd-row row">
    <div class="pd-col col-md-12">
        {{widget type="Magenerds\WysiwygWidget\Block\Widget\Editor" content="---BASE64---PHA+VGVzdCAxMjMyNDMzNDU0MzU0MzUzPC9wPg=="}}
    </div>
</div>

decoding the base64 reveals PHA+VGVzdCAxMjMyNDMzNDU0MzU0MzUzPC9wPg== is the exact content of the content block before.

There is also a page_designer_json field which also has this widget with the base64 string so it would have to be placed there as well.

{
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "rows": [
    {
      "columns": [
        {
          "gridSize": {
            "md": 12
          },
          "content": "{{widget type=\"Magenerds\\WysiwygWidget\\Block\\Widget\\Editor\" content=\"---BASE64---PHA+VGVzdCAxMjMyNDMzNDU0MzU0MzUzPC9wPg==\"}}",
          "settings": {}
        }
      ],
      "settings": {}
    }
  ]
}

I think it would be a nice feature to add a installData.php which converts these columns to the structure pagedesigner supports. However this would also mean the Wysiwyg widget becomes a requirement.

Hi, i've created a script to automatically migrate the content to the PageDesigner format.
You could get the diff from #48 and apply it as a patch or get the file some other way.

If you newly install pageDesigner it should run automatically. If it is already installed you can run it via

magerun2 dev:console "\Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance()->get(Magenerds\PageDesigner\Job\Migration::class)->migrate();"

To change it back to the normal Magento format you can run

magerun2 dev:console "\Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance()->get(Magenerds\PageDesigner\Job\Migration::class)->revert();"

NOTE:
You could lose some data during the revert since it uses the first wysiwyg block to fill the content again.
