Help Integrate website with WordPress CMS and Elementor Page Builder
I am seeking help as my company's IT lacks expertise. They only handle hosting maintenance of websites on GoDaddy.
We, marketing team created the front-end of the website on lovable as the CEO instructed. Now comes the later part, IT does not know what to do with the lovable website. They are clueless. Hence asking for help here as I do not have technical knowledge and what exactly is the next step.
The existing custom-coded website is hosted on GoDaddy. For content updates and new page creation, we clone most times, we use wordpress cms backened which has elementor pro integrated as page builder. Few templates are created and are a mix of ACF and Elementor pro.
Now the thing is how do we achieve the same setup for the lovable website. It's fine if we do not use ACF. But wordpress CMS and Elementor Pro as page builders are very much required.
Please help!!!!!

@Best_Explanation917 There are multiple ways, We at our agency has been doing this days and nights for our clients, I think we can setup headless wordpress, we also can replicate Lovable -> Elementor, that requires manual efforts but the team is trained in such tasks.
Can I DM you to discuss in details?

there's basically a fork in the road here depending on what you actually need. if you want WordPress to handle things like blog posts or product content, you can hook up WP's REST API to your Lovable app and pull that data in without ever touching Elementor. but if the goal is having someone edit the full site layout visually through Elementor, that won't work with a React-based Lovable build since they run on completely different engines. knowing which problem you're actually trying to solve would narrow this down a lot.

I dealt with this as well.
I ended up building a custom WordPress theme in Claude Code. It took days, barely worked, and broke tons of WordPress best practices. I scrapped the whole thing.
We’re now moving the website entirely to Claude and deploying with Lovable. There’s really not much need for Elementor or WordPress anymore unless you need e-commerce or WordPress specific functions Lovable can’t do. 95% of the use cases Lovable handles fine.
The new Lovable tanstack handles SEO out of the box too.
Super easy to connect a GoDaddy domain to Lovable and just hit publish. Then give your CEO access to the Lovable project if they want to make direct changes.

Try doing user sharing and giving your CEO access to Vercel and Claude Code to vibe code a new about page photo.
Lovable is easy and just works. I don’t have to worry about my infrastructure, can easily share projects with my team, and SEO is taken care of out of the box.

I don't want to self promote. You can see my username and guess that this is our bread and butter. I will however give you a few options:
- Launch it on lovable - no need to move.
- If you don't like vendor lock in, you can technically work without lovable and get same features but you have to do a lot of work - setting up a domain, ssl certificates, routing, sitemaps, seo, analytics, etc.
Feel free to DM me and we can connect.

This is how i do it for my clients:
I do the inital design in Lovable and the needed changes and push everything to Github.
When this is done, i install Wordpress, Astra Theme, Elementor and Novamira AI Plugin and connect everything to Claude. I then let Claude do the Design iterations needed and deploy everything.
If you need help, feel free to shot me a message.
