Question

I’m trying to export Drupal posts over to WordPress (which is in itself a hassle). I can’t figure out how to maintain the URLs of the blog posts though. Some of them are customized:

Blog titled Story of Soil is blog/2012/03/03/soil-story in Drupal. One titled Welcome John Doe is simply /john

Is there a Drupal function to making these URLs? Where does it store the customized blog posts?

Answer 1

I found the url_alias table in the Drupal database, and I ran this SQL statement:

   UPDATE `url_alias` 
   SET src=SUBSTRING_INDEX(`src`, '/', -1), 
       dst=SUBSTRING_INDEX(`dst`, '/', -1) 
   WHERE 1

src is now the nid and dst is now the slug. I can rename them and then INSERT INTO wp_posts as post_name
