Drupal to WordPress Migration Services

Migrate your Drupal website to WordPress with zero data loss, minimal downtime, and a fully structured, SEO-optimised WordPress setup. Our expert migration team ensures every piece of content, user data, media, and taxonomy is transferred accurately without breaking your site’s design, SEO rankings, or user experience.

⚠️  Important: Drupal 7 reached end-of-life in January 2025. If your site still runs on Drupal 7, your site is now unpatched and exposed to security vulnerabilities. Migrating to WordPress now is not just an upgrade; it’s a security necessity.

Drupal to WordPress Migration

Why Migrate from Drupal to WordPress?

Drupal is powerful, but it comes with a steep learning curve, a developer-dependent workflow, and significantly higher ongoing maintenance costs. WordPress powers over 43% of all websites on the internet, and for good reason.

Here’s why thousands of businesses make the switch every year:

  • Easier content management with no developer required for day-to-day updates
  • Larger plugin ecosystem (60,000+ plugins) vs Drupal’s smaller module library
  • Lower maintenance cost, WordPress hosting, and support is more affordable
  • Larger talent pool: hiring a WordPress developer is faster and cheaper
  • Superior SEO plugin support (Yoast, RankMath) with no custom configuration
  • Better eCommerce via WooCommerce, one of the world’s most used platforms
  • Modern page builders (Elementor, Gutenberg) for design without code

Our Drupal to WordPress Migration Process

We follow a proven 6-step migration process that ensures complete accuracy and minimal disruption:

Step 1 – Discovery & Audit: We audit your existing Drupal site: content types, custom modules, taxonomy structure, user roles, media library, and current SEO health.

Step 2 – WordPress Environment Setup: We configure your new WordPress hosting environment, install and configure the theme, and set up essential plugins.

Step 3 – Content & Data Migration: Using tools including the FG Drupal to WordPress plugin, WP Migrate DB Pro, and custom PHP scripts, we migrate all content, users, media, menus, and taxonomy.

Step 4 – Design & Functionality Rebuild: Custom Drupal layouts, views, and features are rebuilt in WordPress using page builders or custom theme development.

Step 5 – SEO & URL Redirect Setup: We replicate all existing URLs, implement 301 redirects for changed URLs, migrate Yoast/meta data, and verify Google Search Console.

Step 6 – Testing & Go-Live: Full QA on desktop and mobile. We test content accuracy, links, forms, payments (if applicable), and performance before flipping the DNS switch.

FAQ's

Most Drupal to WordPress migrations take between 5 and 15 business days, depending on the size and complexity of your site. A small site with fewer than 50 pages and standard content types typically takes 5–7 days. Larger sites with custom Drupal modules, multiple content types, thousands of posts, or WooCommerce requirements may take 10–15 days. We provide a detailed timeline estimate after a free initial audit of your Drupal site.

No, if the migration is handled correctly, your SEO rankings should be fully preserved. We migrate all metadata, page titles, alt text, and structured data. We implement 301 redirects for any URLs that change structure, and verify all internal links remain intact. We also reconnect your site to Google Search Console and submit an updated sitemap post-launch. Most clients see no drop in rankings; some see improvements due to the faster performance of their new WordPress site.

Yes. Custom Drupal content types are mapped and recreated in WordPress as custom post types (CPTs). We analyse each content type’s field structure and replicate it using the Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) or similar plugins in WordPress. This ensures all your custom data is preserved and accessible in the same structured way in your new WordPress site.

Absolutely. All images, documents, audio files, and video files are migrated from your Drupal media library to WordPress. We use advanced migration tools including the FG Drupal to WordPress plugin and custom scripts to ensure every media file is transferred and that all in-content references are updated to point to the correct new file paths. No broken images or missing attachments.

Yes. All user data, including email addresses, display names, user roles, and account creation dates, is migrated to WordPress. Because WordPress and Drupal use different password hashing methods, users may need to reset their password on first login. We set up a seamless password reset flow and can notify users via email as part of the post-migration handover.

Yes. All published comments are imported into WordPress with full metadata: author name, email address, post date, comment status (approved, pending, spam), and thread/reply relationships. Your community engagement and discussion history is fully preserved.

Yes, and yes, it is urgent. Drupal 7 officially reached end-of-life in January 2025 and no longer receives security patches or updates. Continuing to run a Drupal 7 site exposes you to unpatched vulnerabilities. We strongly recommend migrating as soon as possible. We have extensive experience with Drupal 7 migrations specifically, including handling legacy field types and deprecated modules.

Yes. We can migrate both Drupal multisite installations and multi-domain Drupal setups. Depending on your goals, we can migrate each sub-site into a separate WordPress installation, or consolidate them into a WordPress Multisite Network. We discuss the best approach for your use case during the discovery phase.

Migration cost depends on the size, complexity, and custom functionality of your Drupal site. Simple sites with standard content types typically start from a few hundred dollars. Complex sites with custom modules, eCommerce, or multisite requirements are scoped individually. We offer a free consultation and a no-obligation project estimate before any work begins. Contact us to get a quote specific to your site.

Before we begin any migration, we take a complete backup of your existing Drupal site and database. Your live Drupal site remains untouched throughout the process we work on a staging environment. If any issues arise during testing, we resolve them before the go-live date. If an issue is discovered post-launch, our post-migration support window ensures we fix it at no additional cost.
