# [Plugin: Post Thumbnail Editor] Exporting thumbnails with posts

 * I’m moving a wordpress blog to a new server. I used the export and import plugins
   and all the posts are there, but without the thumnails appearing on the site,
   although the thumbnails are in the wp-content folders.
 * How should I hook the two up?

 * You would need to get the database mappings from the old system and then migrate
   to the new one. It sounds like the wp_attachment_metadata isn’t being migrated
   with the wordpress export functionality.

 * The postmeta table exported and imported okay; I couldn’t work out what was missing.
   After reading some other forums it sounds like this is a problem with galleries
   in general and not this plugin. In the end I’ve manually FTP-ed all the files
   across (and transferred the domain name) and it appears to be working.
