How we handle Drupal-specific gotchas

Taxonomy is usually the biggest lift. Drupal sites that have been live for years tend to have taxonomy structures that grew organically and don’t reflect how the content is actually used today. We don’t just port the mess over. We audit the real content relationships, simplify the structure, and rebuild it in WordPress using categories, tags, or custom taxonomies, whichever fits.

Module dependencies are the second challenge. Some Drupal modules handle something simple that WordPress does natively. Others handle something specific enough that we need custom development to replicate it. We go through your module list during the audit and tell you plainly which ones matter and which ones don’t need to exist anymore.

Content-type migration is the third. Drupal’s flexible content types don’t map one-to-one onto WordPress’s post/page model, so we look at how each content type actually behaves on your site and decide whether it becomes a page, a post, or a custom post type. Getting this wrong is how migrations end up with a jumbled admin area, so we spend real time here before any content moves.
