Thanks for this, but this doesn’t do any custom things like:
Some Taxonomies to Tags
Some Taxonomies to Category
Category parent-child relationship
Custom fields and Custom Content Types
Featured images
…
However I just found gConverter from the Twitter, I need convert all components listed here: http://gconverter.com/drupal-to-wordpress/ .

Can you please let me know why last step cannot be inserted? Can you please explain this last step, because for me it cannot work properly.

Experimenting on transferring a Drupal 6 site into WordPress 2.9, I ran into some Internal Server 500 Errors after performing the above steps.

After a metric crapload of troubleshooting, I finally figured it out — if any post_date times are out of order, it will cause an error to happen.

For example:

ID post_date
2 2006-03-16 12:07:27
3 2006-03-16 17:11:07
4 2005-06-22 22:31:31
5 2006-03-16 18:12:09

A 500 error happens in this case because post #4 is out of chronological order with the rest of the posts. You can confirm/fix this by either deleting #4 or changing its post_date to fit into that slot.

Since I have nearly 2,000 posts in my database, I am going to have to figure out an automated way to fix the problem. My guess is that I’ll just need to sort the table by post_date, then auto-replace the IDs in the new order.

(This probably would not work for maintaining the URLs of Drupal sites with the node numbers attached — not without some fancy Apache footwork — but I have custom URLs so that’s not an issue for me.)

Anyhow, an esoteric issue, but I thought I’d post it here just in case somebody else ran into it. :)

You have absolutely saved my life. I’m working on migrating a client’s local news blog from Drupal to WordPress, and was having no luck until I tried your method. I was beginning to think I was going to have to re-post his more than 2,000 articles one by one.
