Hi there,

First of all I am using the WordPress Importer version 0.6 to export a site from a WordPress 3.2.1 multisite/subfolders install to a local mac server single site on WordPress 3.3.1
I have the following problem.

My internal links are treated as external ones.
For example: there is an internal link from the page “History” (https://multisite.com/mysite/history) to the page “About” (https://multisite.com/mysite/about)
After transferring to the new local single site, the new pages are “History” (https://localsite.com/history) and “About” (https://localsite.com/about).
But the link from page History to page About still links to the old site: https://multisite.com/mysite/about
This is what I mean when I say that it treats internal linking as external links.

Does anyone else experience the same problem? Could it be because it is a local installation?
I would really appreciate some help ASAP.

Thank you in advance,
marikamitsos

Any thoughts on the issue?
Anyone?

I am afraid that the importer currently doesn’t attempt to translate URLs in post content (except for attachment URLs).

Thank you for the answer Jon.
Don’t you think it should though? Any plans on that?
I understand that it is not a bug but I also believe it should be a feature that could be “easily” implemented since internal linking is quite a common thing. I mean, most likely the infrastructure is probably there (it already does this for attachments).

BTW, how does it work with mapped domains? If we were to transfer content from
https://mapped.com (which actually is https://oldurl.com/somesite) to https://newurl.com would we have to deal with any known issues you probably are aware of?

Yes, ideally it should. I couldn’t say when though. It requires someone to write a patch and think about any edge cases where it wouldn’t work or break something.

It should work fine. So there are no issues that I am aware of.

Yes, ideally it should.

I am glad we both agree. ??

Sorry, I thought you were the developer. Meaning the right person to address when it comes to caring about updates, bugs, new features and suggestions.
After all we are talking about a plugin with almost 2.5 MIL downloads (an average of 7.000people daily-WOW) and actually the only one for exporting/importing a WordPress site.

I wish the developer(s) will take a note of this so needed functionality.

Thank you for your time,
marikamitsos
