If you’ve built a website using Claude Code and now want to move that project into WordPress, this video shows you how to do it quickly using AI — without manually rebuilding everything.
Claude Code allows you to generate functional websites and web apps directly from prompts. You describe the layout, components, styling, and behavior you want, and the system produces working code. It is incredibly powerful for rapid development, MVPs, landing pages, and experimental builds.
But once a project moves beyond experimentation, many creators want stronger SEO control, easier content editing, plugin integrations, and long-term ownership. That is where WordPress makes sense.
WordPress gives you control over hosting, themes, plugins, performance optimization, and content management. It is client-friendly, scalable, and built for publishing. The challenge is that recreating a Claude Code project manually inside WordPress can take significant time.
In this tutorial, I demonstrate how to use PressMeGPT to convert a live Claude Code website into a WordPress theme using AI, so you can keep your design while moving to a more flexible CMS.
Here is the exact process.
How to convert your site
Start by visiting PressMeGPT.com.
Create a free account or sign in if you already have one. After registering, validate your email so you can access your dashboard.
Once inside the dashboard, click New Project and choose From Website.
If your Claude Code project is deployed publicly, copy the live URL and paste it into the input field. The AI needs access to the live version so it can analyze the structure and design.
PressMeGPT will review the layout structure, section hierarchy, spacing, typography, color patterns, and overall visual organization of your site. You can also add additional instructions before generating the theme. For example, you might want to adjust branding, simplify navigation, modify the header layout, refine call-to-action placement, or optimize responsiveness.
Then click Generate Theme.
The AI will build a WordPress-ready theme based on your Claude Code site’s front-end structure. Instead of manually rewriting HTML, restructuring CSS, or adapting layouts to WordPress standards, the system handles the conversion automatically.
After the theme is generated, you can fine-tune it with prompts. Want to change a hero layout? Adjust a grid section? Update button styles? Improve spacing? Simply describe the changes and regenerate.
When everything looks right, export the theme.
You will download a WordPress theme file that can be installed directly inside your WordPress dashboard.
Install the theme
To install it:
Log into your WordPress dashboard.
Go to Appearance and then Themes.
Click Upload Theme.
Click Browse and select the downloaded theme file.
Use Live Preview to review it first, or click Activate to publish it.
You have now converted a Claude Code project into a fully functional WordPress theme using AI.
Closing thoughts
This workflow is especially helpful for developers who used AI to generate custom layouts, founders who built fast prototypes, agencies transitioning experimental builds to production, and freelancers looking to speed up migrations.
Keep in mind that if your Claude Code project includes complex backend logic, APIs, authentication systems, or advanced application features, those will need to be recreated using WordPress plugins or custom development. This method focuses on converting the visual structure and front-end layout into a theme framework.
If you like building with AI-generated code but want the flexibility, plugin ecosystem, and publishing power of WordPress, this approach bridges the gap.
Generate with AI.
Convert intelligently.
Scale with WordPress.
