So I hacked the importer to start at page 60. It actually downloaded the 4 first ( most recent ) attachments and added them to Media. It did not replace the relevant post links and I can’t get it to download any more.

Hrmm.

At the end of the import process there is this spew:

Checking ” for media… 0 media files found

followed by this spew:

I think we’re all getting slightly different results and varying degrees of success.

This is what an importer-created post looks like:

<div class='p_embed p_image_embed'>
<a href="https://getfile6.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/dollsandmonsters/erHqnZEZkQ8hyATCkdXgOmLoM8sm9ESkidTgZJn12m7jtj6avrFqWREfYBoM/photo.jpg.scaled.1000.jpg"><img alt="Photo" height="500" src="https://getfile4.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/dollsandmonsters/4SImirB8Nb1su4GI1bacyPJ4VbDT47MyccwgNzcE67JeiVzFnq88xljl7PAs/photo.jpg.scaled.500.jpg" width="500" /></a>
</div>

When I re-run the importer I see it skipping existing entries ( and only looks for new comments ).

Do I need to delete all posts before retrying if I hope to get different image results?

I have over 1200 posts on a blog started in 2009, so I wouldn’t refuse any troubleshooting help, were it offered ??

This is the site:
dollsandmonsters.posterous.com

So the dev version works for me.

Unfortunately, the plugin just remote-links all of the media. This import won’t survive the Posterous shutdown :/

The next step would be to wget all of the images and then

a. add them to wordpress media
b. replace the img references on the site

Has anyone done anything like this?

Same here. Also, Posterous’ backup feature never completes so using the wordpress.com method isn’t an option for me.

I’m using a fresh install WordPress.
