import problem in new wordpress site

Please review and follow guidelines here:

Dear Krishna,

I have learned to move the whole wordpress from the url you have given above.
But the problem is not regarding moving wordpress site , it is about import and export.

Again i want to clear that , i am not able to get all the attached images when i import the xml file.

There are options available in tool
Tools
-> Import
-> Export

I first exported my posts from one site and got a xml file.
next , I logged in to my new domain and clicked on import option ,
it asks file name and than i clicked to check box to get attachment, than i clicked on button to finish.
Result : only post data not attached images, no featured images, no gallery images.

Is there any problem with the importer ?

I am waiting for the valuable answer.

Thanks in advance.

Well, the xml file doesn’t include the images, they are separate files themselves which you’d need to move as well.

Dear Andrew Bartel,

The problem is it allows to download attachment.
It has an option to check for ‘download attachment’ while importing, Why is it there ?

I have seen the code of importer , it has script to download files from the server.

check_admin_referer( 'import-wordpress' );
				$this->fetch_attachments = ( ! empty( $_POST['fetch_attachments'] ) && $this->allow_fetch_attachments() );
				$this->id = (int) $_POST['import_id'];
				$file = get_attached_file( $this->id );
				set_time_limit(0);
				$this->import( $file );
				break;

why is it there?

It’s trying to retrieve the images from your old server. Why not just move the files manually with ftp and use a plugin like WP Migrate DB to move your database?

Dear Bartel,
Can you tell me why the option of Import/Export is there in wordpress.

I have listened that it is simple to import and export the posts, category, comments and everything , but the same is not working with importer.

if this option is not useful than why it is here, I want suggest word press community to do the needful.

and if you want WP Migrate DB plugin to be used , please suggest the community to change the core functions of import / export and instead of using import/export use your suggested plugin.

Why lol? They’re not going to listen to me. I’ve never contributed a patch to core or a plugin to the repo (coming soon), etc. I help on these forums when time permits. And, it seems like, some of the time I can genuinely help people with their WP problems.

Besides the import/export functionality works plenty well. I don’t know why specifically it didn’t for you in this case. It could be a million different things. You have to be a bit flexible with technology, especially when it’s a lot of different parts of software all interacting together on different pieces of hardware thousands of miles apart.
