# Manually migrating post comments

 * I am manually migrating a Drupal 6 site to WordPress by copying and pasting the
   post content between the sites, but I am stuck with what to do about post comments,
   which I’d also like to migrate.
 * Has anyone found a cut-and-paste way to migrate post comments? Or is there some
   other method I could be using?

 * Thanks for your suggestion Tara, but in looking at those tools they all seem 
   to be for scripted migrations. I am doing a non-scripted migration, one post 
   at a time. So I just need a way to copy the comments from each Drupal post to
   the WordPress post as I migrate it. Even an SQL script for adding a single comment
   to a post may be OK, but something I can add to the Edit Post form would be better.

 * I have to eat my words Tara! The resource [http://blondish.net/how-to-convert-drupal-to-wordpress/](http://blondish.net/how-to-convert-drupal-to-wordpress/)
   on that page just saved me hundreds of hours of manual migration as well as solving
   my “comments” issue! All my posts are now migrated to WordPress with their associated
   users and comments.
 * The only issue I have now is what to do with the Advanced Forum threads from 
   Drupal 6. At the moment they’re just not visible because they have a post type
   of “forum” but I could turn them into “posts” or I could possibly create a new
   custom post type of “forum” and make them look different. Not sure what the best
   thing is to do with them. There doesn’t seem to be any easy path to BuddyPress.

 * Hello, what about your URL ? Do you have the same links on your new wordpress
   websites as you had on your drupal ? This is the most important to care about.

 * No, I am using a plugin called redirection to remap the old Drupal URLs, many
   of which were very messy, to new WordPress URLs in a clean category structure.

 * Don’t you think that it is anyway better to keep the same URLs as former website?
