@nims – My regrets if the post didnt help or seem obvious.

I found this thread, like many others seeking a “fix” to importing media. What I realized is there won’t be any “fix” because it aint broken.

You must export ALL content types and import All. Exports of any subset will not offer the option to import media. Many trial and errors led me to this realization. And for the sake of being explicit- exported WXR/xml files do not contain media… just URI’s to them so those media links MUST be LIVE when doing the import operation such that it can retrieve them.

If still having problems it’s almost version/plugin conflict. Ensure your export and import WordPress environments are *identical*. Meaning version of WordPress, installed plugins, and versions of each and every plugin.

@nims-

I’ve found success through exporting “all” (as wordpress xml file). When importing, and after choosing your import file to upload, the next screen will have a checkbox to enable importing of page/post media.

This worked for me.
However, when I tried only exporting/importing just Posts or any other subset of “all” this functionality did not work.

The kudos given by @humanshell are accurate and well deserved.

This plugin simply and “professionally” provides wealths of administrative information. It does not try to embellish its usefulness with extra administrative menus or pages. It just adds an extra column to existing tables for Sites, Plugins, and Themes network admin dashboard pages.

It efficiently lets admins answer questions like, “Is anyone using this plugin anymore and can be be removed?” Without this plugin it would take many clicks to cross reference sites or some crafty mysql commands. With this plugin its one click and your question is answered. Just what admins need.

Landed here with the same woes on 3.6.

Consistent with @imagined I was able to get media imported by “Exporting All” rather than just Posts. Unfortunately the Import process is also somewhat dim in that it does not ask to apply any filters on import forcing an all or nothing requirement to get media transferred.

Tangentially- I also discovered the image links still referred back to the old site/url. Understandably images may link to any site and thus likely one wants to maintain those links during export/import… but considering 99.9% of image links will be internal it would nice if those were adjusted during the import too.

This is great news and very helpful-

but not really knowing what else “upload_files” permissions grants, is this granting nothing more than view access to the media library on “media-site?”

I appreciate your response- but as prob’ly suspected- it appears to be another plugin.

All my href=”#” are being rewritten with the full url and thus it breaks the javascript.

At current I havent determined the specific plugin, but at current the candidates are Google Analytics by Yoast or WP-HTTPS. I dont recall updating these plugins but memory has failed me before. ??

Any insight is helpful- but otherwise Lightbox Plus is the wrong place to be seeking support at this time… unless some bundled javascript chnged what libraries are used.

i found this post having the same problem myself.

i’ve tried numerous combinations of settings to no avail.

niko- thanks for your troubleshooting.

initially installing as Network Activated it would scan without end when clicking “Scan website” on the plugin settings page.

after switching to individual site activation it appears to work for me.

great progress. i arrived at this thread seeking Stripe Recurring Payments (https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/plugin-wp-stripe-recurring-payments?replies=13)

aside from testing- i’m available to help w/ some coding. let me know if there’s anyway i can help.

ditto here.

this features lacks documentation.

i guess example would be best. like this:

https://jamesmikusi.com/presentation-calendar/#action=ai1ec_agenda&ai1ec_page_offset=-1&ai1ec_post_ids=

this is the link generated by Agenda View and clicking “Previous Events.” unfortunately this is the only means by which it can be accessed (multi-click, not directly).

i have a page accessible linked here and in the menus using the plugin “Page Links To”- but for some reason it sometimes shows “current” events rather than previous. it maybe a problem w/ Page Links To.

(apologies for repeating previous posts)

i guess ideally “x” would be a configurable parameter into the past.

but more simply (for my purposes) something that just hooks directly into the url accessible by clicking “Past Events”:

#action=ai1ec_agenda&ai1ec_page_offset=-1&ai1ec_post_ids=

in an earlier post i suggest i tried to use the variable “page_offset” which seems to have the desired effect but found it wasnt accessible like other variables (ie: “view”):

[ai1ec view=agenda page_offset=”-1″]

it’s some nice added functionality but slightly off target for the desired need.

while the focus is to promote *upcoming* events, it’s also desired to have an archive of past events- which the plugin facilitates… but it doesnt provide an simple/easy means for *users* to access it.

as a developer i can find the “Previous Events” button from the calendar page- but i’m not so certain the 0.3 sec attention span of web surfers will find it obvious. as such it would be convenient to have a page/menu link directly to past events available.

here’s my work-around which makes use of the “Page Links To” plugin:

navigate to your all-in-one calendar in agenda view. then click “Previous events” which updates the view and inserts “ai1ec_page_offset=-1” into the url. copy this url and use it w/ “Page Links To” when creating a page.

strangely enough- this gives me 50/50 results!!? sometimes the page that should link here still shows current events. the hardest part is to figure out the inconsistency in this use.

for now this is all i gotz.
