# Is Drupal database access enough?

 * I have a newly installed blank WP 4.7.2.
    I got a Drupal 4.7.8 database backup
   in a zip file, I imported this into a database. The previous developer did not
   grant access to the live page, database, ftp access, or Drupal admin access. 
   The free version sees 10 pages, 6 stories, but does not see the articles or categories.
   There are several post types in it and a lot of articles (about 16,000). Can 
   the import work with the premium version with this access? So is it okay if I
   don’t have access to the live website? Or will not import the images? Is the 
   plugin compatible with the Themify Post Type Builder plugin?
 * This is what the plugin says:
 *     ```
       === START test_database 2021-08-14 14:18:58 ===
       Connected with success to the Drupal database
       Drupal data found:
       0 articles
       6 stories
       10 pages
       0 categories
       0 tags

 * Yes it will work.
    You just need the Drupal database. You don’t need the access
   to the Drupal backend nor the FTP access. But the Drupal site must be up and 
   running to be able to transfer the images.
 * Please note that you will need the Metatag add-on in addition to the Premium 
   version if you want to import the SEO meta titles and meta descriptions.
 * The plugin is not compatible with any page builder, except if you have the exact
   same page builder in Drupal and in WordPress.
