Many users prefer WordPress because of its simplicity and usability, but when looking for something more powerful or versatile, Drupal can easily become the better option. Both of them are easy-to-use, open source content management systems, and the process of migration can be equally as simple when migrating from WordPress to Drupal.

WordPress Import/Export facilitates migration, as it uses the XML file or WordPress Export file (WXR), which contains all information about author, nodes, vocabularies, and comments.

For migration from WordPress to Drupal, we can use several different modules to ensure all data is transferred, but WordPress Migrate is the the module we will be using in this session. This module allows us to easily roll back and retry with different settings if your first attempt is not successful.

Join us for this great session that will include full step by step instructions how to move your Wordpress site into Drupal 7.

You are right Marco. WordPress is no doubt one of the best CMSs ever, but drupal has its own characteristics different from WordPress. When it comes to security then you will have to agree that drupal comes at first place but when talking about responsive design and development WordPress leads the race. There are wide array of templates and plugins for both of the CMSs those you can see at awesome4wp and other sites. People who are not satisfied with one CMS can switch to another. It enhances flexibility of your work. The article is very nice and adequately describes the method. Thanks for sharing!
