Today I'm very concerned about one thing. Can anyone tell me that can I convert my WordPress website to wix website. Please help me with your helpful suggestions.
Thanks in advance!
As far as I'm aware Wix will only automatically import blog posts from WordPress - I think you'll have to manually import the rest of your content into Wix from your WordPress website.
Of course, this does beg the question of "why would a store for WordPress themes and plugins not use WordPress?"...
I want to import data from an old website into a new Drupal-based website. Both do have a completely different database schema. Can anybody help how can I do that?
Check out on the Migrate module:
https://www.drupal.org/project/migrate
It can import from any kind of DB organization, if you define import rules, but there are also some sub-modules of this module, specialized for i.e. importing from WordPress or another Drupal site, Typo site and similar.
We are planning to move to new CMS from Drupal to WordPress. While exploring, I came across this site to move the contents if it is stored in git.
But our code base is in SVN, Could anyone suggest what are the best ways I can migrate it from Drupal to Wordpress when codebase is hosted in SVN.It would be good if provided solution does not include purchasing new plugins for migration.
Thanks for help !!!
You can import the contents like articles, pages, categories and images from Drupal to wordpress but not the template so you need to work on template/theme first for wordpress.
Using the following plugin you can directly import contents from you drupal database:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/fg-drupal-to-wp/screenshots/
I have added the plugin link of screenshots as you can see you just need to provide database details and plugin will do the rest.
It is not an easy process to take backup of everything properly before doing the migration.
Edit: Editing the original post to make my question simpler
My friend has a art website which is made in wordpress www..com. He hired a wordpress expert to redesign the website. The expert made the redesign at another location at www..com/ so both the websites are at different locations. I have to take the look of the redesigned site and the data of the mainwebsite, what approach should I take. The redsigned website should have all the plugins which are there in the mainwebsite. The redesigned website will replace the mainwebsite.
In short what approach should I take to migrate the new website design to actual website.
Any suggestions and inputs will be appreciated.

Export the MySQL database from the current site.
Restore the database backup on the new server.
Copy the entire website to your machine via FTP.
Edit wp-config.php to point to the new database. If
you are changing domains, then see the link below.
Copy the site files to the new hosting server via FTP.

go to tools->import
now select wordpress and install the plugin
now you can export all your posts/pages and use the same tool to import that data to your new site
I would suggest following steps
Create a dummy site (beta or temp)
Move current mainsite there
Download theme from the redesigned site
Install it on the dummy site
Make sure everything is working perfectly as you want with the data you want
Move it live
Hope this helps.
I have a development site and a live site where the database differs on 2 weeks(On the development side has been added between new Posts and Pages). What I want now is to export the posts and pages from the live site and import on the development side but without to override the newly created posts and Pages. Is it possible to achieve this with the standard wordpress import export plugin?
The import tool in Wordpress doesn't overwrite your posts and pages, it just adds them to your database. You can read about it on the following topics:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-import-1
http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/will-import-over-write-existing-posts
However, it's always a good idea to backup your database before you do it.
