Not All of Images Made the Migration

    My WordPress.com blog was recently migrated to www.ads-software.com by SiteGround and approximately 1,000 images did not make the move. When I look through the www.ads-software.com media library, it appears that images from September 2013 – December 2013 made it, none from January 2014 until my move. These images are still in my original WordPress.com media gallery. Is there an easy fix for this? SiteGround told me that I’ll have to manually upload each of the images again to the new media library, this seems silly.

    I haven’t seen this problem in the documentation, I apologize if I’m missing it.

    Thank you!

    The blog I need help with is squeakygreenmachine.me.

    Sounds like the export from wordpress.com or import to www.ads-software.com version was interrupted. It might have been a limit placed on file size by your hosting company. Bluehost has no file size limit and it’s cheap. You can also ask them to temporarily increase the limit and re-import it. If you call a couple times you might get someone more willing than the last person. You could also go with godaddy. I can’t believe I’m suggesting that bc I think they’re evil, but they have a managed wordpress option on a promo for like $1 a month right now. I just had to use it yesterday and it was a really smooth transition, no code skillz necessary.

    I know it sounds ridiculous to just suggest another hosting company but there’s no reason your hosting company can’t migrate the whole thing. They’re just choosing not to.

    Thank you mintegrate, I appreciate your help! And I’ve already been wondering if I should change hosting companies. This migration has been a nightmare. Thank you so much!
