WordPress Export./Import not displaying galleries

manually uploaded them to the correct folder via FTP

There’s your problem. You either have to import all images or you will have to re-upload the images via WordPress.

Well, I tried importing them via the importer first – didn’t work. Kept getting “failed to import media” notices (even though I exported everything – probably b/c my old site isn’t accessible at this point). So I manually uploaded them via FTP and then used the Add From Server plugin to add them to the media library. I also manually edited the XML file BEFORE import to update all the links to the new paths.

If that didn’t work to point everything to the correct files, then why do the individual files show up? I DO see photos that were attached to posts individually. What I DON’T see are ones where the post contains a GALLERY.

Does that make sense?

Are the images in those galleries attached to the correct Page or Post?

Was this problem solved?
