I developed new website in Wordpress, but the client has old site in Drupal and wants me to transfer entire archive to the new site. Is there any way I transfer it (except copy and paste)?

if you are converting from drupal to wordpress look for a contrib addon over there

if you are converting from wordpress to drupal there is at least one wordpress convertor in the downloads area. It's name escapes me at moment.

This is true. Go ahead and look for there.

May I ask if your Wordpress site does everything that the old Drupal site does? If you only changed the graphic design what was the reason for the move? Is it simply that you are more familiar with Wordpress?

(I'm not trying to be awkward. I have been asked to work on a Wordpress site and I am more familiar with Drupal so I am interested in finding out what Wordpress and and can't do)

...not because nobody helps you out, but because you realize that this is the best option.

In the link below there are some instructions. I've never experienced the problem this person mention as the reason for leaving Drupal, and in fact it is the first time I hear about the problem of number of db queries as a drawback against WP.

Probably you will have to adapt if there is content already in the Wordpress installation.

I have not tested, but I found a couple of forums in Spanish where people was succesful in using these instructions, albeit not totally trouble free. So backup, do it on a test site first...
