Images do not import. This plugin is broken.

    I had to move a site today using the export and import tools and for whatever reason it did not fully import images. All the images were transferred to uploads except for the last two years for some reason. None of the featured images would show up on posts. On top of all that none of the image urls changed on import. They all reference the old site url. This seems like something that should be fixed if you’re going to include these tools with WordPress.

    I ended up exporting and importing the database and search/replace on all the urls and FTP for all the missing images.

    Can you share what tool you used to execute the url search and replace in your database? I’ve run into the same problem, and my own thread has gone unanswered for a week. I read on a different site to *not* use phpMyAdmin to make the changes, but there was no reason given.

    Hi. I downloaded a copy of the database sql file and then used Notepad++ for the search and replace.

    You could use a plugin like https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/better-search-replace/ to do it too. Backup your database first though.
