WordPress themes...
WordPress themes must be converted into a Drupal theme before they will work.
I find the easiest way is to first turn the WordPress theme into a straight CSS template. Then I take a Drupal theme (some prefer the Zen theme but I really like the Sky theme) and copy and past the Drupal code from it into my new page.tpl.php file, making sure to match up the CSS elements. Test, rinse, and repeat until the bugs are worked out.
If you're good with CSS, have an eye for detail and a little patience, and can copy and paste, there is no reason why you can't convert a WordPress theme into a Drupal theme.
You may want to have a look at Drupal Theme Developer’s Cheat Sheet. Or this by sepeck (which is basically how to convert a CSS template into a Drupal theme).

How would then to convert Wordpress theme to straight CSS?
Thanks
Here's how I do it.
With a WordPress test site setup, view the source code and make a copy naming it index.html. Make a copy of the CSS file, name it style.css and place it in the same folder as the index.html file. Transfer images from the WP theme to a new 'images' folder, which is located in the same folder as index.html and style.css. You can just copy the whole 'images' folder over.
Straight CSS theme
- index.html
- style.css
- Images folder
-- Images folder/ images
Open up the index.html file in a text editor like Wordpad and change the path and name for the style.css to which this file should correspond.
example:
And change the paths for the images if necessary.
Also, open the style.css file in a text editor and change the paths for those images if necessary.
Now just open the index.html file in a browser and see the results. You may have to tweak a few things and strip out some extraneous code from the index.html file. At this point, you're just looking to have a "front" page that looks exactly like the frontpage of the theme itself.
After you have your straight CSS "frontpage" template working and validated -- you won't need to be concerned with subpages if they look exactly like the front -- make a copy of the entire theme folder and rename it - this is in preparation of converting it into a Drupal theme. Then you change the index.html file name to page.tpl.php and commence to incorporating Drupal code into it, which you will find in one of the free Drupal themes you have chosen to help you.
Note: you will find that there are CSS elements for nodes, comments and admin that most likely will not be included in your css file. You can copy and paste these from one of the free Drupal themes. Don't forget to check out the links I provided above; they should be a big help.
Oh, and the biggest pain I usually encounter is the tedious task of making sure all the CSS elements from the style.css file match all the CSS elements of the Drupal theme files used, ie. node.tpl.php, comment.tpl.php, etc.
You can use any Moveable
You can use any Moveable type theme using the Gutenberg theme!
But different CMS's model their data different ways, so there's not always a 1:1 correlation between the regions and data they display.

Gutenberg theme
The Gutenberg theme now lives here:

The namespace was taken over by the Gutenberg editor in 2018.

I have developed ICT Site(wordpress) and EDUCATION.(joomla). But after looking at the features and security of Drupal I have decided to use Drupal and its theme. Is there any ICT and Education related theme in Drupal? Can I change wordpress and joomla theme to Drupal?
Drupal
Well that’s quite a typical process to convert WordPress themes into straight CSS template and then converting into Drupal. I don’t think there is any direct conversion is possible and the process should be avoided. Drupal also incorporates great templates and if you are looking for any, you can check out http://nulledirectory.com/category/drupal-templates/ and other related places for the same.
So far it is not possible to move it straight away
So far its not possible to straight away use the wordpress themes to drupal. You can use the drupals themes and customize them to get the same effects.
