I am migrating over 6,000 WordPress blog posts to Backdrop CMS. I successfully tested the migration process with approximately 150 blog posts, which was straightforward but did not include featured images, titles, or categories. I need assistance with the following:
- How can I successfully migrate all blog posts, including their corresponding featured images, text, titles, and categories, to Backdrop CMS?
- How can I ensure the migrated blog posts retain the same URL structure in Backdrop CMS as they had in WordPress to maintain SEO and link integrity?
Any insights, best practices, or step-by-step guidance are greatly appreciated.
Regards

I don't know the possibility of export from WordPress, and how difficult your data, but a good solution - export all content to CSV, for example, and import to the prepared content type in Backdrop using the Feeds module. If you can export the data, you can say the case done.
About the WordPress > Backdrop migration module (does it seem to exist?) I can’t say anything, I haven’t tried it , possibly he is the shortest way. But I believe that Feeds is the best way to arrange all the data in their places (fields). https://backdropcms.org/project/feeds
Have you done any testing with this module?
Thank you @laryn for the insightful reply. I tried to migrate the date by using WordPress import module. Pulling up about 150 posts was a nonbrainer. However, the module did not bring the featured images we have in the wordpress site., Inserting images manually mihght be OK for a smaller site. However, for a site having more than 6,000 blog posts seems to be a daunting task which I am not ready to do.
