We are using CiviCRM with Wordpress and would like to switch it to Drupal. I have created a fresh Drupal/CiviCRM install and gave CiviCRM it's own database. How do I go about transferring the data from the old Wordpress site to the new Drupal site?

Assuming that a) you gave CiviCRM a separate database under Wordpress, and b) you installed the same version of CiviCRM under Drupal:
- Dump the current CiviCRM database to a .sql file.
- Load that database into Drupal.
- Review "Moving an Existing Installation to a New Server or Location" for relevant details regarding deleting caches etc.
- Delete all the entries out of the
civicrm_uf_matchtable in the CiviCRM database (while logged in as user 1). - Go to Administer menu > Users and Permissions > Synchronize Users to Contacts.
That should repopulate your civicrm_uf_match table and thus connect your Drupal users to contacts. Log out and log in again (in a different browser) to make sure everything looks good - and clear your caches again!

1Hi. Thanks for the answer. Yes Wordpress has it's own Civi database and it's the same version as Drupal. Unfortunately, when I try to import the Wordpress database into Drupal, I get this error: [ERROR in query 7] Access denied; you need (at least one of) the SUPER privilege(s) for this operation. What does that mean? – Steve Barakat Apr 16 '15 at 17:01

Also, when you say "Dump" do you mean export via phpMyAdmin (or Sequel Pro)? – Steve Barakat Apr 16 '15 at 17:19

Yeah, export via the tool of your choice - phpMyAdmin works! As for the error - that really deserves its own question, so I posted the question (and answer) here: civicrm.stackexchange.com/questions/619/… – Jon G - Megaphone Tech Apr 16 '15 at 18:38
