I'm working on a free WordPress plugin to help attorneys migrate away from Scorpion. The goal is simple: you request your content export from Scorpion, hand the files to the plugin, and it does as much of the heavy lifting as possible to get that content into a fresh WordPress installation. No manual copy-pasting of dozens of pages, no starting completely from scratch.
The problem is that nobody has publicly documented what Scorpion's export actually contains. Agencies that do these migrations describe it as "almost useless" for rebuilding a site, but I don't know whether that means it's disorganized HTML, a flat file dump, something proprietary, or just incomplete. I need to see a real one before I can build anything useful.
This is where you come in.
If you are a current or former Scorpion client and you either have your export already or are willing to request one, I would genuinely appreciate you sharing it with me. You can strip out any client data, personal information, or anything else sensitive before sending. Anonymous is completely fine. What I need is the structure: the file types, the folder layout, how the content is formatted, whether there are any metadata files or whether it really is just raw HTML pages.
And if you are a happy Scorpion client with no plans to leave, that is completely fine too. An escape hatch you never need is still worth having. If you are ever in a position where you want it, I would rather the tool exist than not.
Once I have enough to understand the format, I'll build the plugin, release it free on WordPress.org alongside my other tools for lawyers, and update this post when it's ready. If you shared an export that helped make it happen, I'll thank you here by name if you want, or not at all if you prefer.
If you want more context on why this matters, the full guide on how to migrate away from Scorpion covers what you own, what you can take, and how the migration process works with or without a plugin.
Thank you.
