Q
May I change Drupal's core files to make changes to my site or application?
A
We strongly recommend that you don't. Hacking core means that you won't be able to take advantage of Drupal updates (including any security updates) without losing your changes. It also makes it much less likely that bugs you create will be fixed by the community. Instead, try using the hooks system and theme overrides.
Q
Does Drupal use any code conventions or styles?
A
Yes. Follow the Drupal Coding Standards when submitting any code for inclusion in the Drupal project.
Q
Can I migrate a WordPress site to Drupal?
A
Yes. There are modules like WordPress Migrate to help you.
Q
What is the Drupal Association?
A
The Drupal Association is the non-profit organization dedicated to helping Drupal flourish. It helps the Drupal community with funding, infrastructure, events, promotion, and distribution.
Q
