FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!

THESE ARE THE DROIDS YOU’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR! ??

SO, for anyone hating the WP importer plugin because it just doesn’t work at all for more nuanced applications like exporting selected posts/categories, you’ll first need to install and run “Export Plus”: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/export-plus/

Import your file to your new WP site, then run this gem “Import External Images” and you’re done!

I hope both plugin Auths keep these vital plugs updated!
