Thanks for this excellent script. we had several older Drupal sites that we converted to WP about a year or so ago.. and things basically went very smoothly. I meant to say thanks a long time ago, but was just going through my bookmarks and found your page again, so I figured I’d thank you now. – Keith

Thanks for this script! It was immensely helpful to me earlier this month as I migrated a client’s blog from Drupal to WordPress 3.0.

It did require some changes, including a few things noted in the previous comments, plus a few updates of my own. I made a generic version of my own customization of the script, and posted it on my blog here:

After scouring the net for hours, this is by far the definitive post on migrating Drupal 5.x to WordPress 2.7.

In my case, I manage to move all my custom ‘article’ types from Drupal 5.2 to WordPress 2.9.2 with only a few little tweaks to this SQL.

Thanks very much for sharing, and I hope this post makes it a little higher in the search engine to help others. Most other posts (once helpful I’m sure) deal with outdated versions.

Cheers
