Hi everyone,
I'm trying to migrate content from a WordPress site to a fresh Drupal 11 installation using the contributed wordpress_migrate module (the UI/GUI process).
I'm running into an issue where the module's setup UI fails to detect my destination fields, likely because my Drupal structure uses modern, non-standard field types (Media Entity Reference) and custom machine names, while the module expects the old default settings.
I need advice on the correct YAML configuration to manually map these fields.
1. 📝 Body Field Issue
The WordPress content body (content:encoded) is not being recognized for import.
- Drupal Destination Field Name:
field_content - Drupal Field Type:
Text (formatted, long) - Expected Field Type (by Module): Likely the standard
bodyfield with typeText (formatted, long, with summary).
Goal: How should I structure the process: section in my migrate.migration.wordpress_post.yml to map content:encoded to my existing field field_content?
2. 🖼 Featured Image Issue (Crucial: Media Entity)
I cannot map the WordPress Featured Image because my Drupal setup uses the modern Media Entity reference approach.
- Drupal Destination Field Name:
field_featured_image - Drupal Field Type: Entity reference (Referencing Media Entity of type Image).
- Expected Field Type (by Module): Likely a basic
Imagefile field type.
Goal: What is the recommended multi-step process: pipeline (using file_copy, entity_generate, or migration_lookup) to take the WordPress image URL, create a Media Entity in Drupal, and reference it in my field_featured_image field? Working YAML examples for migrating WXR attachments to Media Entities would be highly appreciated!
3. 💬 Comments Migration
The WXR file contains comment data. Is there any hope to migrate comments (users, body, timestamps) to the native Drupal comments using the wordpress_migrate module or does this typically require another separate migration definition?
Thanks!
