Question

I am a WordPress developer trying to port a two year old Drupal installation to WordPress, I can’t use most of the existing solutions because of the custom content type used in this installation.

I see a lot of nid’s and vid’s for the same post title – In the table called node, how do I know which is the final revision of the post ? Also, I have to import a lot of unpublished posts as well – that means, the Drupal installation has certain posts that are not yet published – how do I know which is the final revision of an unpublished post ?

Answer 1

The nid identifies the post as a whole, the vid can be seen as the version identifier. The highest number vid for a given node will be the most recent revision. The same concept applies to unpublished nodes. Unpublished nodes are denoted with a 0 in the status column in the node table, while a status of 1 means a node is published.
