WP2Drupal

#D7CX: I pledge that WP2Drupal will have a full Drupal 7 release on the day that Drupal 7 is released (or be merged into something else).

With this module you can import your site from Wordpress to a clean Drupal install.

Ancestory

Originally created by Borken Bernard for Drupal 4.7, it was updated to support Drupal 5 by teodorani and then upgraded to work with Drupal 6 by DenRaf. This a continuation of DenRaf's code from his blog announcement on June 19th, 2008.

Note: While the project has been available in versions for Drupal 5 and older, only Drupal 6 and newer will be supported.

Goals

The goals of the project are simple:

• Provide a method of importing a Wordpress blog into Drupal.
• Make it feature complete for all core Wordpress data.
• Make it easy to use.
• Long term goal: merge it into an all-in-one migration tool, e.g. maybe Migrate.

In Comparison to Wordpress_Import

The Wordpress_Import module work towards a similar goal, but there are several differences:

• Wordpress_Import uses an WXR export file from Wordpress whereas WP2Drupal interacts directly with the database.
• WP2Import has greater flexibility with the import:
  • You can decide what content types to use for posts & pages
  • You can decide what vocabularies to use for categories and tags
  • You can use Path_Redirect to catch the old URLs but still use PathAuto to give them new URLs; GlobalRedirect will make it even more transparent
  • You can (optionally) clear out (truncate) existing content tables to start with a fresh copy of your content
• Wordpress_Import is somewhat more user-friendly.

Ultimately, though, WP2Drupal will be merged into a more useful all-in-one migration tool.
