Media Importing Failure

    Was trying to import a WordPress export file, and then I got the following error:

    Warning: set_time_limit() [function.set-time-limit]: Cannot set time limit in safe mode in /home/xxxxxxxxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-importer/wordpress-importer.php on line 91

    Failed to import Media ___
    Failed to import Media ___
    Failed to import Media ___
    …
    Failed to import Media ___

    Where “___” stands for every piece of media I uploaded. In short, I can’t migrate any image. Why is this happening and how do you suppose it can be solved?

    I attempted to upload the “uploads” folder right away but the “media” module doesn’t recognise the content and the relations with the individual posts are lost, of course.

    As a last resort I was thinking to just re-upload everything, but then the URL structure will be broken (everything will be recorded as though they are uploaded this month). I can try to use custom URL path to match the original month but that seems cumbersome. Perhaps there’s a plugin for this?

    Glad to hear that it’s all working now. FWIW, there has been talk in the past of rewriting WordPress core to allow for relative urls but, so far, that hasn’t happened.
