Migrating Content to Drupal Using Migrate Plus and CSV Files
GeoNovation shared a detailed blog post on importing structured content into Drupal using the Migrate Plus module. The guide specifically addresses common challenges developers face when migrating from platforms like WordPress, especially when dealing with CSV files and external file attachments such as PDFS.
The post outlines how to set up the Migrate Plus and migrate_source_csv
modules, create a custom module (wp_migrate
), and define migration configurations for nodes, taxonomies, and file entities. It also explains how to manage entity references and implement custom plugins to handle file downloads and local storage—critical steps for ensuring content is imported reliably.
By following the methods described, developers can streamline their data migration workflows, ensure accurate mapping, and maintain data integrity. The guide is particularly useful for those looking to automate and simplify complex migrations without relying on extensive documentation or trial-and-error approaches.
