Failed to import Media

  • Hi all – I installed the plugin and selected “Export media with selected content”. However, when I import the XML with “Download and import file attachments” Selected I get “Failed to import Media” for all posts. What am I doing incorrectly?

    I’d like to add that its only the featured images that are not getting imported. The embedded images are importing fine.

    Hi Fairchild,

    Are you exporting a custom post type (not a Post or a Page)? The featured images configured by WordPress are exported by default (they have the “_thumbnail_id” metadata key). But some CPT handle this differently and that is not supported.

    Hi Joost,

    I don’t believe so, I exported from the default posts type in WordPress. I see the “thumbnail_id” in the XML. Could I DM you the file to take a look?

    Thanks,
    Vincent

    Hi Vincent,

    Sure, you can send me the XML. I’ll take a look.

    Having the same issue — was this ever resolved?

    Scratch mine — I figured out what was wrong — i was pulling between two environments — one environment had an htaccess password enabled on it, so i imagine that was causing the plugin to fail. Once disabled, the plugin worked fine. Cheers.
