For some reason no image support?

  • I’m not a WP beginner but I can’t get this plugin to work..

    Sorry to say, but this plugin isn’t the quality what it once was before. I’ve exported a few sites from development to live examples before and it always was such a native feeling with this plugin. WordPress out <–> WordPress in can’t go wrong.

    I’ve tried exporting all data or just a single custom post type into very clean WordPress installs – none of the images, featured images or gallery shortcodes do get transferred.

    *Yes, I’ve checked the import attachments checkbox.

    If you’re importing from a live production site to a local development setup via MAMP, the remote server might not respond to the requests for images.

    My debug contant is always activated on local development and even if I get a warring I go check it out but there is no wearing or error at all.

    I think WordPress still thinks everything went smooth, because when I simply just import a single product with the hole shebang ( meta fields and stuff ) everything falls in place except the images.

    On the post edit page there is no featured image set ( looks like it )..

    But when I click on the link to add or edit an image it def. marks an image as set but it just didn’t got imported correctly. No image to be seen and no data at all. Just an empty selection.

    This example was taken from a Live site to another Live site just for testing. Everything about the imports went great except the images. They don’t get fully imported for some reason.

    Turning on all debug modes.. Plugin + WordPress..

    I get some warnings at the import page – after and during import I get none error messages at all. Just those default warnings you see at the image.

    First I thought the problem was on my side because I exported as post types as published and imported them as drafts.. Now I also tried to leave the export file as is and import it as is but nope..
    The export file is barely 2mb large/heavy.

    This really is a bug in the WordPress Importer plugin or WordPress core.
    It’s strange that I can’t get it done on 3 different sites and and export files but when I look at this plugin support section I’ll find at least 3 to 5 people having similar problems with this plugin.
