Hey, first time using this plugin, but it seems to fail every time despite best efforts.

We are migrating a very old Drupal site (unable to check the version, as we receive ‘error’ when trying to pull a status report… what a clunky CMS).

The settings.PHP file was blank for port and prefix, but I was able to get access to the server to confirm the prefix (the same as the db and username prefix). We also allowed remote MySQL connections using the new hostname/IP. Yet connections still fail.

The FAQ and support tickets say, ‘oh just manually import the Drupal DB to WP’. But we have some major concerns around that that I’m hoping you can help with:

1. Would this not overwrite what is already in WP? We’ve built the new site and don’t want that data to be wiped out.
2. I’ve exported and imported WP SQL DB’s before, there were specific steps to follow, configurations to take care of, items to check, etc… where can I find that information? Or, can you advise the steps required to do this.
3. Is it that we import the Drupal DB to the WP MySQL instance, then what do we put into the plugin? What connection details? Would it still be the Drupal admin details, or something else?

Thanks for creating this plugin. It is literally the only option for people who don’t want to dig around in the mud with code to try and free people from this archaic CMS.

when converting a drupal site, stories with multiple pictures are posing problems. The pictures are copied over, but in the generated HTML code, the supplemental pictures are still using the old link URI, eg instead of /wp-content/uploads/2022/10/p1_plage.jpg, I still get the old Drupal path /dp/files/p1_plage.jpg

I have a site on drupal 6. How can I transfer it to WordPress on the same domain?

Hello,

I made an import including images. But in Media section still empty.
I inserted the https://www.mywebsite.com url for images.

But all images are in https://mywebsite.com
Does I have to make another complete import or is it possible to do a (only) images import ?

thanks

I have this weird problem on my website.

I have a PODS Custom Post Type that was automatically created by the FG Drupal to WordPress Premium. Everything works fine except the fact that I can’t switch the content privacy to public. If I do it from the Pods Admin -> Review Access Rights it switches to public but when I refresh the page it comes back to private. If I do it from the Edit pods->Advanced options I get this error message

There has been a critical error on this website.

Do you have any hint of how I can solve the problems?

I have a local environment running on docker, and I’ve downloaded the drupal database and added it to my local phpmyadmin. When I try testing the database connection, I get the following error:

“Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Undefined constant PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND in /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/fg-drupal-to-wp/admin/class-fg-drupal-to-wp-admin.php:638”

Any idea how to resolve this error?

When I run the import from https://shadleyassociates.com/ to https://shadley.gorges.dev/ I receive the following error. We are using the premium version.

“Gateway Timeout

The gateway did not receive a timely response from the upstream server or application.
??Apache/2.4.59 (Ubuntu) Server at shadley.gorges.dev Port 443″

Our Sys Admin increased several of the config options in php.ini per an article we found regarding this plugin but we are still receiving the error. Is there anything else we can try?

Thanks!

I have searched and can’t find any info on the WP side configuration when importing a Drupal multisite configuration. We have multiple subdomain sites which we can successfully import into a single WP site. Is there any way to run the importer to maintain the original subdomain structure for a multisite-to-multisite migration? Thank you in advance.

Hi I have successfully connected the drupal database but cant seem to get the ftp working .. I assume its the FTP base directory .. I have tried /public_html and also https://www.wangki.org.au/ .. I know the other credentials are correct as I am logged in via FTP to the site. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

Is it possible to migrate a site without importing a particular node type?

I have a content type that is automatically pulled via feeds and contains 15,000 nodes plus images I don’t want to migrate.

Thanks

I need to import posts from 3 separate Drupal sites. Site1 worked perfectly, but Site2 and Site3 do not import any content. DB connections are successful.

As a test, I imported the Site2 content into a separate WordPress install successfully, so I know that there are no conflicts.

I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin, but the data from the Site1 import persists so it’s being stored somewhere – is there a way to clear it?

Hi,
HTTP and database connection are succesful.
It imported all pages, but i need to import posts… and for some reason that’s not happening.
Any solution you can offer? Thank you.

Is it possible to use this plugin and migrate from a Drupal site that’s currently offline, but have the database and media files?

I enter the correct credentials of the drupal “Connection failed
See the errors in the log below” message and the log is completely empty. I can’t get past this step.

I connected the database and site via FTP, but this is the message I get when the import finishes. I’m available to buy the pro version and the other plugins, but I’m concerned that no pages have been imported so I’m not sure if the plugin will do its job.
Do you have any suggestion or something else that can help me to understand how your plugin works?
There’s something I have to do before starting the import process?

Thanks for your support!

Hi,

we try to import content from a Drupal7 to a fresh and clean WordPress 6.2.2 and are able to import the news and most of the media, but no pages at all. Might this be a problem with Panelizer-Tool in our Drupal, even if there are only a few pages panelized?

Any other idea?

Thanks in advance & best regards
Chris

hello

I have a bug when setting up the drupal database. I get this message and I have the impression that the module cannot retrieve the database.
screen1
screen2

My import always stops at 30% and it throws the following msg: “[ERROR] Error:SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 2006 MySQL server has gone away”

Up to that point the users and other data were migrated successfully. I am using the premium version and the Commerce Add-On.

This is the printscreen: https://tinyurl.com/289zx8jk

Can you please help me out? Thanks!

Do you have any idea why that might be happening?

Thanks!

Thanks.

Can you please help me with this.

Hi FG,

I was wondering about the URLs after migration. We have successfully migrated the content over to a WordPress site. Except for some minor editing, the Drupal content is all there. Thank you!

But I wonder about the URLs. What happens to all the posts addresses after migration? Do they retain the /wpsite/ that is inserted by the plugin after the development?

And can the same IPNs by used for e-commerce even if they also have the /wpsite/ inserted into their URL?

Thanks.

I’m trying to import a drupal database for a client. I’ve not used drupal before so not sure how the data structure goes, but the import log says:

`[WARNING] Your Drupal database contains users. You need the Premium version to import them.
[WARNING] Your Drupal database contains custom nodes. You need the Premium version to import them.
[WARNING] Your Drupal database contains custom taxonomies. You need the Premium version to import them.
[WARNING] Your Drupal database contains URL alias. You need the Premium version to import them.
[WARNING] Your Drupal database contains navigation menus. You need the Premium version to import them.
[WARNING] Your Drupal database contains forums. You need the Premium version and the Forum add-on to import them.`

All I want to import are the articles, some of which the client says he has set up as a specific content type, with a form designed to add them. It imports the static pages with no problem.

So what version/add-ons do I need to achieve this, and will it import as a custom post type?

I have successfully imported all the Drupal content, but by the time I am ready to go live with the WordPress site the client will have made some new content in Drupal.

Is it possible to re-run the importer, without having to empty the database and start again (All I need is the handful of new posts).

Thanks – and great work on the plugin ??

Hi, I can’t connect to the database. Got all credentials and table prefix correct I believe. I imported Drupal SQL into WordPress site DB. And now attempt to do the migration from WP DB of the same installation. Error log keeps showing the error message: Couldn’t connect to the Drupal database. Please check the Drupal table prefix.

Please advise and thank you

Hi,

I couldn’t get the connection to work when connecting to the remote Drupal DB, so I exported the .sql file and imported it into my wordpress DB.

The connection works and does import content, however its very slow, and I keep needing to return to the import page and clicking the blue button that says ‘Start / Resume the import’. Each time it progresses about 1% and then stops.

I’m pleased with the way it works so I have paid for the premium version and several add-ons, however the import is even slower now as its importing more stuff.

I have updated php to the following:

max_input_vars=30000
max_execution_time=9999999
max_input_time=9999999
memory_limit=2G
post_max_size=1G
upload_max_filesize=1G

Is there anything else you can suggest that would help speed up the import?

I tried an import to an empty WP database and PODs were created for custom content types, but the custom fields were not. I emptied the database and created the PODs manually with the fields using the same names as used in Drupal hoping that having the fields in place would let the mapping work. However, no data was copied into the custom fields. Is there something special that needs to be done to get the custom field data into the PODs?
