Use WPChangeSync on builder-agnostic WordPress sites without Bricks installed.
Updated 5 June 2026·Task guide
Outcome
You can use WPChangeSync 2.0 on a WordPress site without Bricks Builder. Bricks-specific integrations are hidden or skipped, while WordPress content, media, menus, widgets, fields, Gutenberg, and supported plugin integrations remain available.

Risk level
Medium. Builder-agnostic content can still overwrite posts, pages, media, fields, menus, and widgets.
Before you start
WPChangeSync is active on a WordPress site with or without Bricks.
You know which non-Bricks integrations are active on the site.
Storage is configured for JSON exports.
Remote targets also run WPChangeSync and support the same integration set where needed.
Steps
Open the standalone WPChangeSync menu When Bricks is absent, WPChangeSync uses its own admin menu instead of nesting under Bricks.
Review available integrations Use Library or WP-CLI to see active integrations. Expect WordPress, field, Gutenberg, media, and plugin sections rather than Bricks templates/components.
Build a content-safe export Start with pages/posts/media/menus/widgets or field definitions, then add related integrations as needed.
Dry-run imports on staging Builder-agnostic does not mean risk-free; pages, menus, widgets, and fields can still overwrite target data.
Use remotes and workflows normally Remote push/pull, workflows, Activity, conflicts, audit, CLI, and batch behavior still apply.
