I'm hoping this guide should contain enough information in order to use the conversion program.

The program is a desktop application which converts Wordpress 2.5 database to an existing Drupal 5.x database and as of version 1.03, Drupal 6.x database.

First things first, BACKUP

We have heard this term many times and we all know what it means. To those that have lost data, either through mishandling, theft, fire etc. and didn't have a backup, I'm sure stress levels went through the roof. If, on the other hand you haven't had such a catastrophe imagine you did last night, how would you feel right now. It happens.

Do not use the conversion program on your one and only Drupal 5.x (target) or Wordpress (source) databases. How much more explicit can I be.

At the end of the entire process you should still have your old source and target databases intact. You should also have a new Drupal 5.x database which contains all the imported information.

For backing up procedures check this article, it's a page from the book Changing Hosts - a Dummies Guide.
