wordpress import not working

  • Hi,
    I have problems due to hosting to import all my blog at once, so I tried doing it by months, but it’s not working. Blog posts are imported, but nothing of the media library is imported.
    I don’t know where to report it or if I am doing something wrong.

    Thanks

    It doesn’t work in 3.4.2 neither in 3.4.1

  • Hey Don,

    I’ve always had trouble with media attachments on WordPress imports. If you’re moving from one host to another, try the following:

    • FTP into your old host.
    • Download everything in your media folder (default /wp-content/uploads/).
    • FTP into your new host.
    • Upload the files, preserving the file structure.

    i.e. you’re moving everything from /wp-content/uploads/ on your old server to /wp-content/uploads/ on your new server.

    Assuming the permalinks haven’t changed, your media attachments should be working again.

    Note: Because you’re not going through the media upload in WordPress, these files won’t appear in your Media Library, even though they *are* on your server.

    I hope that helps a bit. ??

    Thanks for your are answer, but I would prefer to keep media library info, so I would report it as a bug.

    I can’t seem to get any new content to upload to my media library. I hit “upload” and it just hangs. This issue started about the time there was an upgrade to 3.4.2

    Any suggestions?

    Please post your own topic. Your problem is not related to this topic.

    if your old host cpanel and still have access then make backup from cpanel after complete, download its and upload its to your new host, restore the backup through cpanel
