Re: Sounds Accurate To Me

"Migrate Module is your friend": if only.

I've tried to migrate a very simple site many times from D7 to D8 using the migrate module. By very simple I mean just that: it uses the default themes and about four simple content types. Very few contributed modules. After each migration attempt it's a mess. The theme no longer works - despite being the same theme it looks entirely different and changing the theme options doesn't fix it, and there are other nasties such as bits of comment and author information at the bottom of the screen that don't apear on the Drupal 7 site.

I really want to stay on Drupal but it seems inevitable that Wordpress (.org) must be the way forward for me. I welcome the new Drupal approach but it's too late.
