This step-by-step series has covered a lot of ground on planning and preparing for a Drupal 7 to Drupal 10 migration. Today, we start putting that knowledge into practice by automatically migrating content types. First, we will execute a migration to pull all content types in Drupal 7. Then, we will customize the migration to remove unnecessary content types. Finally, we will learn how a separate node title label migration also affects content type configuration in Drupal 10.

Migrating Your Data from Drupal 7 to Drupal 10: Assumptions of the API

mauricio — Thu, 09 May 2024 00:13:27 +0000

With that in mind, let’s take a closer look at some of the assumptions and limitations. In addition to what will be presented in today’s article, I highly recommend reviewing the official documentation for upgrading from Drupal 7.

Of particular importance, review the page on known issues when upgrading from Drupal 7, as things get added and removed from that list as issues are discovered and fixed.
