WordPress Import of Media failing

  • Hi, I’ve tried everything but can’t seem to find out what’s wrong.

    I am running two wordpress sites both on localhost from XAMPP/Apache They are both in subdirs and work well individually and both run off the same template. I am trying to transfer the content and media of one to the other, when I do it, it imports fine except for the media which fails to import. “Failed to import ” gets spammed for every single image/attachment.

    How do I resolve this? I honestly don’t know why this is happening.

    Regards

    Matthew

  • When you say “import” how are you doing that? Are you WordPress Importer plugin?

    Media (you mean photos and such, correct?)

    You should just be able to copy them — all those files will be in wp-content >> uploads. Copy all the folders in there to the new site’s “uploads” folder.

    To not get that alert message every time, in WP Importer, you can choose not to import attachment — which you don’t need to do if you can just copy the files directly.

    So, that’s a workaround, but I”m not sure why it’s happening in the first place.
