Confluence alternative

Team docs on the site you already pay for.

A wiki with page hierarchy, revisions and role permissions, plus an importer that reads a Confluence HTML space export and rebuilds the structure it came from. Licensed per site rather than per person.

Getting your space across

Export the space, upload the zip, keep the shape

Confluence exports a space as HTML. The importer reads that export, and the part that matters is that it does not arrive as a pile of pages.

  • The pages, with their nesting

    A second pass reads the export’s own breadcrumbs and rebuilds the parent and child structure, so a space arrives shaped the way your team left it rather than as a flat list.

  • The images and attachments

    Files referenced by a page are pulled out of the export and loaded into your media library, with the links rewritten to point at their new home.

  • Into ordinary WordPress pages

    What lands is a wiki page like any other: editable by your members, revisioned, searchable, and linkable with double brackets from that moment on.

Plan the run, not just the click

One space at a time, and keep Confluence running

The import happens in a single request with a five minute ceiling and a 64 MB upload limit. That is comfortable for a space and not the way to move an entire instance in one go, so export space by space and let each finish before you start the next.

There is no dry run and no resume, so the sensible order is: import into a staging site first, look at what arrived, then do it for real. Re-running skips pages whose titles already exist rather than merging them, which makes a second attempt safe but not corrective.

Do not switch Confluence off yet

Keep the original running until you have read the imported pages. Everything here is a copy into your own database, so there is no rush and nothing to undo if you decide the shape is wrong.

THE MOVE

Move a Confluence space into WordPress in five steps.

The importer reads Confluence's HTML space export. Keep Confluence running until you have checked the result.

  1. 01

    Back up WordPress

    Take a database and files backup before any import.

  2. 02

    Export the space as HTML

    In Confluence, open Space Settings, then Export Space, and choose HTML. You get a ZIP file.

  3. 03

    Upload the ZIP

    On the plugin's Import tab, choose the Confluence HTML ZIP and the author for imported pages.

  4. 04

    Keep the attachments

    Leave the attachments option on to copy images into the Media Library.

  5. 05

    Check pages and hierarchy

    Parent pages come from Confluence breadcrumbs. Pages whose titles already exist are skipped.

Settings > Import

The Confluence importer sits next to Notion and MediaWiki

One screen holds all three importers. Each asks for the export file and an author, then runs the import without leaving the page.

Confluence HTML ZIP
Hierarchy is rebuilt from breadcrumbs, and images can be copied into the Media Library.
Notion Markdown ZIP
Folders become parent and child pages, and Notion links become wiki links.
Duplicate titles skipped
Run an import again and pages that already exist are left alone.
Import tab with MediaWiki XML, Notion Markdown ZIP and Confluence HTML ZIP importers

What your team keeps after leaving Confluence

The documentation habits teams rely on, and where they live in WB Member Wiki.

  • Page trees

    Nest pages under parents. Each page lists its sub-pages and shows breadcrumbs.

  • Page history with restore

    Compare two revisions side by side and restore the older one.

  • Edit locking

    Teammates see who is editing a page, so two people do not overwrite each other.

  • Watch the pages you own

    Get an HTML email when a watched page changes.

  • Permissions by role

    Choose who creates, edits others' pages, deletes and protects. Admins always have full access.

  • Recent changes

    See the latest edits across every page from the wiki dashboard.

  • Links between pages

    [[Page Title]] links pages, and each page lists what links to it.

  • Search with category filters

    Suggestions appear as you type, and category chips narrow the list.

Team pages after the move

Decide which roles create, edit others' pages, delete, protect or need approval.

A team page with its contents box, contributor, category, tags and sub-pages.

Every page in one list, with category filters and a History link on each row.

Show or hide the contents box, contributors, last modified date, revision count and view count.

Rated 4.8/5 on Trustpilot from 93 reviews

Top notch support! I've been frustrated generally by the slow support for most themes and plugins, but they are helpful and quick to reply. Highly recommend!

I wanted to build a community website and these guys created the perfect plugins for me. To be honest, I want to buy every single one of their plugins.

Questions from teams leaving Confluence

What does the Confluence importer bring across?
Page titles, content, hierarchy from breadcrumbs, links between pages and image attachments. Code blocks arrive as preformatted text.
What does it leave behind?
Labels, comments, page history and original authors are not imported. Every imported page is assigned to the author you pick.
Can we keep internal docs private?
Not fully. You can limit the wiki listing to chosen roles, but published pages open for anyone with the link. For confidential docs, add a membership or site access plugin.
Is the editor like Confluence's editor?
No. Pages use the classic WordPress editor with Visual and Code tabs, tables, media and code blocks. Block editor support is planned but not released.
Does it connect to Jira?
No. There is no Jira integration. Developers can use the WordPress REST API for wiki pages and the plugin's 62 hooks.
What does it cost as the team grows?
Nothing extra. Licenses count sites, not people: $149 lifetime for one site, $199 for five and $399 for unlimited.
How large can the export be?
The upload field notes a 64 MB limit, and your host's upload limits also apply. Try a small space first.
Can we try it without risk?
Every license has a 30-day money-back guarantee. Keep Confluence running while you check the import.
