Migration from drupal to WordPress

Basically, WP migration is very specific process and completely depends on size and complexity of you site. Here’s the general outline for the WordPress conversion process:

Stage 1: All the site’s content should be imported for the new site. That means all your data including images, flash files, videos, text etc.
There are automated scripts and manual methods available for this. In Drupal you can import the content in an xml file and in WordPress you can easily add that xml file.

Stage 2: The imported content should be structured according to the WordPress theme. This again is theme-design-dependent process. It may again be done through automated scripts, tools or may require manual intervention.

Stage 3: Widgets and plugins are next to be added. Suitable alternatives are to be provided for your current CMS system. Basically WordPress has large inventory of plugins available and you can most probably find an exact or near exact replacement.

Stage 4: Any required customizations should be moved to the site. This is little complex step and require at least some basic understanding of the coding constructs. The aim is to port the custom coded part of the site in WordPress to prevent any loss of functionality during the conversion.

Stage 5: URL modifications that include required implementation of 301 redirects.For example You can add custom permanlinks for each page. So that google can still find your pages
