Saved My Weekend!
by bixgomez·3 years ago
Wonderful, simple, effective plugin. I used this little miracle to migrate 100+ nodes from an old Drupal 7 site into the a new WordPress 6.1.1 site without a hitch! Even handles images, importing and creating media objects from images located in a separate directory.
This is available on WP6.1
