Will this work with existing images set as Featured?

  • We use Featured Images in our posts, most generally by clicking on the WordPress provided “Featured Image” in the (classic) editor and assigning an image (sometimes uploaded at the time, but mostly chosen from our Media Library). Will this plugin help to import these Featured Images?
    Also, I’ve export/imported our posts to a new server, and moved the /uploads (images) folder over. Will this plugin attach Featured Images to existing (in the new server) posts and images, or should I start over with a clean WP install?

    Hi,

    This tool modifies the default Tools > Export function for when you want to do a partial export, eg. only the Posts or only the Pages.

    In such a partial export it will include the related media, including the featured images. You can then import the WXR file into a new environment, it does not matter if it’s a fresh WordPress or not. The default WordPress Tools > Import routine (you will need the WordPress Import plugin) will download the images from the “old” environment so you don’t need to move the uploads folder.

    When you do a full export using Tools > Export the plugin is of no extra use: in the full export all media are included.
