    Can this plugin migrate the pages and posts from a live Drupal website to a local WordPress website (MAMP)?

    Whenever I try to test the connection I simply get the following message:

    === START test_database 2020-11-11 14:55:48 ===
    [ERROR] Couldn’t connect to the Drupal database. Please check your parameters. And be sure the WordPress server can access the Drupal database.

    SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Operation timed out

    Please read the FAQ for the solution.
    === END test_database 2020-11-11 14:56:18 ===

    The webmaster for the Drupal site has given me all of the Drupal database parameters and has checked them. He believes them to be correct but the plugin can’t seem to connect.

    I’m wondering if this plugin only works ‘live to live’, or even only on the same server?

    I did request a backup of the Drupal database which I tried to import into my localhost (MAMP) WordPress database but I just get the following error:

    phpMyAdmin – Error
    Incorrect format parameter

    I’m a bit stuck ??

    If Drupal and WordPress are not installed on the same host, you can do this:

    – export the Drupal database to a SQL file (with phpMyAdmin for example)
    – import this SQL file on the same database as WordPress
    – run the migration by using WordPress database credentials (host, user, password, database) instead of the Drupal ones in the plugin settings. You can find the WordPress credentials in the wp-config.php file.

    Thanks. That’s sorted it.
