Import posts with featured images

    I have an old website that I need to move. The site has been heavy during the year and when I use wp migration I get more than 44,000 files even when I only choose database and media files, although the site only count 100 posts and not too many images…

    I want to only import the posts with the featured images.
    A minimalistic export would make the site lighter, and that is what I’m looking for. I haven’t found a good way to include the featured images, and when I found this plugin today I had a chat with jiju fabio that recommeneded me to post my question here.

    I downloaded the free plugin of “Import All Pages, Post types, Products, Orders, and Users as XML & CSV” and chose Export Posts, and then XML format. but there is no option to include “featured images” there neither. So I would like to know what I need to do so the images are included in the backup. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for your help.

    Hello @medifx

    To export a post, including its featured images, follow these steps: select “Export” -> “Post.” The featured images will be automatically included in the CSV export, with corresponding links generated under the header “Featured Image” in the CSV file. You can then import this CSV into another or new site, effectively importing both the posts and their associated featured images.

    Please let me know if you still have any questions.
