 * Good morning,
 * I know I am asking about a topic that was covered again and again but it looks
   like I cannot find any working solutions or clear message telling me “Don’t go
   further, it is impossible”.
 * **_What I try to do:_** I had a blog on WordPress.com with ~100 posts. Now I 
   have prepared my self-hosted WordPress.org website and I would like to import
   my past 100 posts from WordPress.com to my new self-hosted WordPress.org website.
 * **_What I do:_** So first I download the xml file for few posts from my WordPress.
   com website. Then using the WordPress Importer plugin, I try to import them on
   my new website. I reassign the post to a user and ask to download the pictures
   and attachments.
 * **_What happens:_** The importer usually stop working few times due to lack of
   memory but after running a couple of times, it usually succeed downloading the
   pictures and posts. I can see the post, I can see the pictures in the library
   but then when I look at the post on my website, the pictures in the post are 
   still pointing to my WordPress.com website. I really don’t understand why they
   are not reassigned to the freshly downloaded pictures?
 * Am I missing something? Is there a new version that I cannot find? A potential
   workaround?
 * I know that I will probably have to rework a bit my posts but reassigning all
   the pictures would be crazy.
 * I am up for any solutions!
 * Thank you in advance for your help.
 * Seb
