    Hello!

    i need to sync a huge media library from an old site to a brand new WP installation and i am considering buying the Pro Version of the plugin.

    An important consideration is to preserve the IDs of the Media Files – so that in the new WP installation all files have the exact same ID as in the old site.

    Can this be done with the plugin?

    Thank you in advance for your answer!

    regards, andi

    Hi Andi,

    No, that’s not possible. This plugin only knows about scanned files on the server, it simply can not know where those files were used in previous database. Within this plugin, there is no concept of export/import or old/new. It’s only about importing files on the server into current database.

    So I would recommend getting one of many export/import (migration) plugins.

    Hope it helps.
