Migration of dancor.sumy.ua from Drupal to WordPress with URL preservation
It is necessary to migrate a large news and information website dancor.sumy.ua from Drupal to WordPress. The key requirement is to preserve the existing URLs as much as possible or set up correct 301 redirects to avoid losing SEO and old traffic.
The site has a large archive, several types of content, and a complex material structure, so a performer with experience specifically in site migrations, rather than just in installing WordPress, is needed.
What needs to be done
Conduct an audit of the current site structure.
Migrate content from Drupal to WordPress.
Preserve URLs or set up a 301 redirect map.
Migrate news, articles, blog, archives, media.
Recreate or adapt the current section structure.
Set up SEO fields, titles, meta descriptions, canonical.
Check the site functionality after migration.
Prepare the site for launch without losing indexing.
What is important from the performer
Experience in migrating sites from Drupal to WordPress.
Understanding of SEO migration and redirects.
Ability to work with large news websites.
Attention to detail in migrating archival content.
Willingness to provide a clear work plan and timelines.
Preferably indicate in the feedback
Examples of similar projects.
Estimated cost.
Estimated timelines.
What approach you plan to take to preserve URLs.
What is included in the cost and what is charged separately.
Collaboration format
A preliminary project assessment is required.
Next — agreement on stages and budget.
Preference will be given to performers with experience in similar migrations.

Good day! For saving the URL: audit of the Drupal structure → automatic generation of a 301 map for each page, news, archive, and media through scripts — after the transfer, no old address will give a 404, indexing will not be affected. The turnkey cost with SEO canonical fields and final verification is 14,000 UAH, write in private — I will prepare a detailed plan.

To migrate the site dancor.sumy.ua from Drupal to WordPress while preserving the URLs, a thorough analysis of the current structure needs to be conducted. I will carry out the entire migration, including setting up redirects to maintain SEO. I will use WordPress for content management and will preserve all URLs.
I work at a rate of $13/hour.

6920 109 4 1 Good day. I am ready to carry out this transfer for you. I have been working with WP for a long time. I do not use heavy plugins and various builders that slow down the website and overload the server.
Here is how I see the migration:
- Audit of the original structure.
- Creation of the website structure as in the original (categories, taxonomies, etc.)
- Creation of all additional fields for managing data through the admin panel (ACF).
- Creation of page templates identical to the structure and design of the original while preserving the SEO structure (meta tags, h1+ tags, schema, alt for images, etc.).
- Migration of data along with media and SEO tags (if they are manually entered in the admin panel for each news/entity), using a script. (Here, a dump of the original database will be needed, split into parts, and a migration script will need to be written for each section.)
…
Redirects will not be necessary - an identical website structure can be created in WP.

256 Hello! I have experience migrating large news websites from Drupal to WordPress (a portal with 50,000+ pages, retaining 99% of traffic). The approach to preserving URLs: auditing the current structure, creating mapping files, or setting up 301 redirects via .htaccess. I use automated scripts and the FG Drupal to WordPress plugin (Premium - for preserving URLs and SEO metadata). The cost includes: auditing, content migration, setting up redirects, testing on staging, and post-migration support. Estimated timelines and costs will be provided after analyzing the archive. Details in private!

2163 14 0 1 Hello! I am an individual developer with 4 years of experience, specializing in technical SEO and complex migrations of large projects, so I will carry out the transfer of dancor.sumy.ua from Drupal to WordPress with full preservation of SEO weight and archive structure. My approach is based on automated database export via SQL/WP All Import followed by mapping custom Drupal fields to WordPress blocks, and to maintain traffic, I will set up an identical Permalinks structure or create a global 301 redirect map through .htaccess, so that each old news item is correctly indexed at the new address. I will conduct an audit of content types, transfer the media library while preserving attributes, and set up SEO fields to maintain positions in Google; I work through a sole proprietorship, guaranteeing the preservation of indexing and a complete technical check before launch.

361 Hello.
A project of this scale requires, first and foremost, systematic work with the database and preservation of the SEO weight accumulated over the years. We have experience in migrating large media resources and understand how to properly "transfer" thousands of archival materials from Drupal without losing structure and connections.
Infrastructure: Since the site has a huge archive and significant traffic, we propose to deploy it on our own servers in Poland. As a cloud provider, we will ensure high request processing speed, which is critical for large databases on WordPress.
Estimated timelines and price: I will provide an exact estimate after auditing the volume of the database and types of content. I suggest we chat to discuss the technical details.

1182 13 0 3 Hello! My partner (designer + full-stack) and I have been specializing in complex migrations of high-load media resources for over 4 years, so we will professionally transfer dancor.sumy.ua from Drupal to WordPress. We will develop the database architecture in Figma to visualize the mapping of custom fields (CCK in Drupal) to the WP structure, ensuring technically flawless preservation of the URL structure through Permalink settings or automated generation of a 301 redirect map for tens of thousands of archival materials. Our experience of over 4 years allows us to guarantee the complete preservation of the SEO value of a 20-year-old domain, the transfer of the media library while maintaining links, and optimization of loading speed on the new stack.

265 Hello! I have extensive experience in website migrations, particularly from Drupal to WordPress, including projects with a large volume of content and complex structure.
Regarding your project: I will correctly transfer all types of content (news, articles, archives, media), preserve the site structure, and replicate the URLs as closely as possible. In cases where this is not possible, I will create a complete 301 redirect map to maintain SEO and traffic.

576 1 0 Having worked on similar tasks with large content websites, I understand the risks (URL, indexing, archives, media).
How I will do it:
— audit of the Drupal structure (content types, taxonomies, URLs)
— formation of compatibility for WordPress (post types + taxonomies)
— content migration through scripts (not manually)
— preservation of URLs or generation of a complete 301 redirect map
— transfer of SEO data (title, description, canonical)
… — separate check of media and internal links
Regarding WordPress:
— custom theme (without overload)
— ACF / custom fields for the structure
— clean code + optimization for speed
Before launch:
— test on staging
— check redirects, indexing, sitemap
— smooth release without SEO drop
