How to Move a Drupal Blog to WordPress





1. Create backups of your Drupal database. The method for this will be different for each situation, since your host determines the access to your SQL database. Use your mySQL administration panel to download the tables from your Drupal database; this creates a text or comma separated values file with all of your blog entries. If you lose the contents of your blog when changing the content management system, you can restore the database.
2. Install WordPress in a new folder on your server, or on a separate server. Configure the site to suit your needs. Create a new database specific to your WordPress site. Do not name the WordPress database with the same name as your Drupal database.

3. Create categories in WordPress to match the structure of your Drupal site. Select your theme and add any plug-ins and widgets that you plan to use. Structure your WordPress site to match your Drupal site as much as possible. Create the same menus, categories and tags.
4. Manually transfer your Drupal content to WordPress posts. Use two separate browser windows, one for each site. Log in to Drupal and open a post, then copy all of the contents and paste them into a new post in your WordPress site. For sites with only a few dozen posts, this process is the simplest way to move your content. For sites with hundreds of posts, use a migrating script through your MySQL administration panel.
