PODs import with custom fields

    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?

    Just to clarify, this a Drupal 6 system with 5-6 custom content types with 4 of those having custom fields (all of type text).

    You need the Premium version for that: https://www.fredericgilles.net/fg-drupal-to-wordpress/
    With the Premium version, the custom fields are automatically created in Pods and imported. You don’t have to create them manually.

    I’m using the premium version. I looked in the code and from what I can tell, for a Drupal 6 import, only a single attachment field is created via Pods (none of the custom field tables are ever queried). So, I just wrote my own scripts to handle the custom data after the import runs. It’s not the best solution, but it works for our use case.

    As far as I know, Drupal 6 doesn’t handle the custom fields by itself. You need a module like CCK on Drupal to manage them. And we have an add-on for that: https://www.fredericgilles.net/fg-drupal-to-wordpress/cck/
