How best to structure, import data from Drupal

    hello,

    Really well done plugin. I have a general question for you if you don’t mind regarding how data would be imported and utilized with the plugin…

    We have an existing site currently in Drupal and the idea is to move it into WP which is in process.

    Two directories, one of camps and the other of general resources.

    Each one has various fields as in name, location, etc etc. (10-15 each) that would seem to be best to import via CSV into WP. Couple thousand entries in one and 50 or so in the other directory.

    Question is how best to proceed far as structuring data. I can see how I can create 2 custom post types (Camps, Resources) and multiple custom fields for each in WP that could match up to the Drupal fields pretty well. And then import a CSV file that could work to get the data into WP.

    Or should it not be custom fields but a custom taxonomy? The data is less a matter of subcategories than various criteria to search and organize.

    I’m using WCK – Custom Fields and Custom Post Types Creator which seems like it will work.

    Just trying to get a sense of how best to approach this as working with how best to structure this data is somewhat new for me.

    Again, thank you for your time.

    Bob H

    This is a general troubleshooting forum, and it seems like your questions relate to a specific plugin in the WordPress repository. These plugins all have their own dedicated support area (e.g. https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/%5Bplugin-name%5D), and you should move your post there to get the attention of the plugin authors and /or users.

    Good luck with the move!

    morning,

    Thank you for your suggestion but not really about a specific plugin but a matter of how to organize and structure data in WordPress. Is there a particular area that that should be in? Again, not really in regards to a plugin. Thank you

    Ah. That’s outside of my experience to comment on. But someone else may well do……

    Best wishes with the move!
