First, I apologise for this question, it'll probably look very simple to a lot of you, but I am quite new at this and can't seem to figure it out.

I am working on a project that requires that I import a lot of data from a wordpress site. For that I want to use wordpress migrate. This module recommends me to use drush to transfer the data.

After having had quite a lot of problem installing it (thank you windows) I finally managed it. Now I'd like to use drush on one of the projects that's in my wamp\www file.

How do I do that? I've been looking but can't find the solution

I tried the commands from this: https://www.drupal.org/node/1958170 but it says : "Command variable-set needs a higher bootstrap level to run - you will need to invoke drush from a more functional Drupal environment to run this command. Command variable- set requires Drupal core versu=ion 6 or 7 to run."

I am working with drush 7 and I am hoping to use it on a drupal 7-*...

Please help!!!!!

==== EDIT ====

Once I'm in the right place I no longer get the "needs a higher bootstrap level".

After reading a few things to sort out my problem (and probably messing things up) it came back, even if I am inside the sites folder.

I can download new modules but cannot enable them I cannot activate the migrate module and commands

and I don't see the PDO drivers listed when I do drush php-eval "phpinfo();"

cmd printscreen

What's wrong with drush ?

The "needs a higher bootstrap level" error means that you're not in the right directory to call drush.

Where's your drupal source directory ? cd to that directory , and try your drush command again...

  • You could also try to cd in the the sites folder c:\wamp\www\projectname\sites[yoursitename or default] and run drush from there

  • Have a look at this thread : drupal.org/node/1393232 . Are your PDO drivers listed when you do drush php-eval "phpinfo();" ?
