 * Good afternoon,
    I only have 14 posts, and <50 photos total on my site, but when
   I attempted to import all the photos only one post (with 4 photos) imported. 
   The status bar stalled, for 3 minutes or so nothing else imported, so I refreshed
   the page. Now, when I attempt to Import Images, the status bar stalls. When I
   go to an individual post to update photos, I click update and I get a blank browser
   page – the photos have not been imported. Any thoughts? Best, Anna

 * Have resolved the issue: the images on the source site were over the file size
   limit for the target site.

 * Yep. That is typically the problem. Try my other plugin: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/bulk-resize-media/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/bulk-resize-media/)
   to solve that issue. 🙂
