Drupal is a robust Content Management System (CMS) with plenty of features, but its learning curve is steep \u2013 especially if you’re new to web development. However, if the solution is currently falling short of your expectations, you might want to migrate Drupal to WordPress and find out if the grass is greener on the other side (which it is, in our opinion).<\/p>\n

Migrating your website may sound like a complicated task \u2013 the kind you’d hire an expert to do on your behalf. However, WordPress makes it simple even for new users to carry out a full migration by themselves, all thanks to its convenient plugin system (and overall ease of use).<\/p>\n

In this article, we’ll teach you how to migrate Drupal to WordPress in three simple steps using just one plugin. Let’s get that moving van loaded!<\/p>\n

What you should consider before the migration<\/h2>\n

If you’re using Drupal, you should already have a hosting provider and a domain. However, you might want to consider switching to a host more in tune with the needs and requirements of WordPress. We’ve outlined a number of suitable solutions<\/a> in the past, and the web is chock-full of reviews too.<\/p>\n

Before you get started with the migration, you need to have a blank instance of WordPress installed on your web server. If you’ve gone with InMotion – like we recommend – you’ll find that you can get WordPress installed with just a couple of clicks. For other hosts, the process might vary.<\/p>\n

It is also very important to follow a great website migration checklist<\/a> before any changes, to make sure you avoid any troubles on the way.<\/p>\n

Once you have WordPress installed, you can begin to migrate.<\/p>\n

How to migrate Drupal to WordPress (in 3 steps)<\/h2>\n

In this section, we’ll be using the FG Drupal to WordPress<\/a> plugin to carry out our migration. This tool is remarkably simple to use, and we’ll cover how to use it in this piece. However, if you do<\/em> happen to run into any errors, the plugin’s documentation<\/a> should see you through.<\/p>\n

It’s worth noting this plugin also comes in a premium version<\/a>, but the free option is more than enough to carry out a regular migration. However, if you’re looking to move multiple authors, your comments, users, and even custom post types, the premium version might be worth considering.<\/p>\n

Step #1: Install and activate the FG Drupal to WordPress plugin<\/h3>\n
