Thanks for the script! I managed to transfer most of my posts and comments from my old drupal 5 site to wordpress effortlessly. I had neglected my drupal site mostly because of it’s clunkiness, it feels as if I take a lot of time to do very simple things.

The SQL script doesn’t seem to work with WordPress 2.6, like AlbertC mentioned above. It also doesn’t convert Drupal node revisions. (WordPress supports post revisions since version 2.6.)

Here’s the link to the bit on setting up .htaccess: http://blog.componentoriented.com/?p=196

I’ve been on WordPress for six months or so, now, and I like it a lot better for blogging. WordPress isn’t quite as flexible as Drupal, though, so if you need tons of customization, you may want to stick with Drupal.

It depends. It could take a few minutes, with an updated version of the script, or it could take days. And is your name really “Drupal Hosting”? They do have some odd names in Belgium. Sadly, your comment smells a bit spammy.

Thanks this was extremely useful for getting a huge set of posts migrated from drupal with taxonomy intact.

A few months ago I updated this script and migrated my site from
Drupal 5.9 to WP 2.6. My inelegant hack of D’Arcy’s excellent
script worked, but I couldn’t get the categories to transfer
properly, so I just did those manually. Posts and comments came
across fine, though. If you’re facing a similar transition and
don’t mind that limitation, feel free to try my version
(http://dovdox.com/content/archives/135). Standard disclaimers

Hi, I’m trying to use this script for Drupal 5 to WP 2.6.3 and I got the following error:

crida SQL:

DELETE FROM wp_categories;

MySQL diu:
#1146 – Table ‘MYDB_wordpress.wp_categories’ doesn’t exist

I guess the same will happen with the wp_post2cat table referenced in the script.

Could anyone provide some assistance in adapting the script to WP2.6.3?

Thanks!
