How to Migrate from Betterdocs to weDocs

Are you feeling limited by BetterDocs and looking for a smarter, more powerful way to manage your WordPress documentation? weDocs is here to take your knowledge base to the next level.

With its intuitive interface, advanced features, and seamless customization options, migrating to weDocs lets you create a polished, professional documentation system that your users will actually enjoy navigating. Say goodbye to cluttered docs and hello to a smarter, faster, and more organized way to manage your content.

Why You Should Migrate from BetterDocs to weDocs

If you’re still using BetterDocs, you may find yourself hitting limitations as your documentation grows or your business scales. Here’s why switching to weDocs is worth it:

1. Complete Flexibility and Customization: weDocs gives you full control over how your documentation looks and functions. From pre-built layouts and styles to role-based permissions and visibility settings, you can create a knowledge base that matches your brand perfectly. BetterDocs offers limited customization options, whereas weDocs lets you design your documentation experience exactly the way you want it.
2. Advanced Organization and Structure: With drag-and-drop functionality and three-level nested document structures, weDocs makes it effortless to organize your knowledge base. You can create sections, subsections, and articles in a logical flow, making it easier for users to find answers. BetterDocs can feel rigid when handling large or complex documentation.
3. AI-Powered Assistance (Pro Feature): weDocs Pro comes with an AI chatbot powered by ChatGPT, which can instantly answer user queries based on your documentation. This reduces support requests and enhances user experience. BetterDocs does not offer AI-driven assistance, giving weDocs a major edge in efficiency and engagement.
4. Enhanced User Experience: weDocs includes features like floating contact forms, live search, feedback and voting systems, and embedded shortcodes for displaying content anywhere on your site. These tools make your documentation interactive, intuitive, and easy to navigate—features that BetterDocs either lacks or implements in a limited way.
5. Scalability for Growing Businesses: As your product or business grows, your documentation needs will expand. weDocs supports unlimited knowledge bases and documents, multilingual support via Weglot, and smooth migration from other plugins. This ensures your documentation system scales with your business, whereas BetterDocs can become restrictive over time.
6. Seamless Migration: Migrating from BetterDocs to weDocs is straightforward. All your existing documentation, including structure, sections, and articles, can be transferred without losing formatting. This means you get a more powerful system without starting from scratch.
7. Better Support and Ongoing Updates: weDocs is actively maintained and updated, with a strong support system to help you with both technical issues and feature guidance. This ensures your knowledge base stays current with WordPress updates and modern documentation standards.

Switching to weDocs gives you more power, flexibility, and advanced features to create a professional, scalable, and user-friendly documentation system. It’s not just a migration—it’s upgrading your knowledge base to a tool that grows with your business, improves user satisfaction, and reduces support overhead.

Let’s check out how you can perform this migration process step-by-step here:

Here, you’ll notice the “Migration” option under the settings.

After you click on the “Migration” section, you’ll land on a page where you can see the migration-related details.

Here, you can see a message like “Migration not required“. Before you migrate documentation from BetterDocs to weDocs, you need to have categories created in BetterDocs.

Now click on BetterDocs>Categories>Create Categories.

After creating the “Categories“, it will look like this one.

Go back to the BetterDocs documentation page. Here you can see all the categories, including existing ones from weDocs (uncategorized).
