Hi,

You can easily migrate your site in Drupal. You install fresh Drupal 7 by downloading from here https://www.drupal.org/drupal-7.41-release-notes
Installation Guide: https://www.drupal.org/documentation/install

For migrating from your existing wordpress, you can use https://www.drupal.org/project/wordpress_migrate
You can use Drupal feed module also for importing your website data. (https://www.drupal.org/project/feeds)
A good article: https://www.isovera.com/blog/using-feeds-module-bulk-import-drupal-7

For forum, Drupal has it's own module. Here is the instruction to use it: https://www.drupal.org/node/796472

Regarding using different templates: Yes, you can theme your pages in various different manners. Lots of contributed modules are available for theming of Drupal pages and you can theme in your customized way also.
Recommended modules for Drupal theming (page template management): Display Suite, Bean and panel, etc.

I hope it answers your question.

Best!

I just downloaded the zip file of Drupal 8.02. But now I am lost on how to begin. I work at a school in Wisconsin and haven't built a website since Frontpage 2000. Anybody out there can use simple language to help me get started?

Hi Billy,

1. First install Wamp.
2. If you are using default port for IIS, you can use any other port for apache (let's say 8080). You need to add this in apache.conf file.
listen 8080
Then your localhost will be http://localhost:8080/
3. Open http://localhost:8080/phpmyadmin/ and create new blank database.
4. Download 'drupal' dump in Wamp root folder (possibly: c:/wamp/www) and open http://localhost:8080/drupal/ in browser.
5. Fill all the required details as per given in screen (including database details) and complete the installation.
6. It's simple.

Note: Instead of WAMP, you can use Acquia dev desktop, Xampp, etc.

Please revert if still any issue.

Best!
