I should also mention that I could open up the minimalist pair of sites and give you a password on it if you are interested in taking a look there.

I forgot to answer your other question about localhost. In all instances I’ve been doing a localhost import. I have not tried anything else.

I see I had written oldweb.kbs.msu.edu instead of https://oldweb.kbs.msu.edu. But now that I’ve got that right, I still get the same thing I saw on the minimal example.

1) All the images transfer. (Maybe this is progress!)
2) I get an error message for each transfer. But it’s not exactly the same error message. Now it’s “failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found”
3) When I do the update links step, nothing gets updated. The links in the articles still refer to the img in terms of the joomla folders.
4) The files are not listed in the media library. But yes, they are stored in year/month directories.

I’m using 1.4.1 of the plugin and 3.3.2 of WordPress.

I suppose it’s possible. But I went to the trouble of making sure the target uploads folder was world-writable, and that didn’t help.

I’ve since set up another pair of sites, of which the joomla site contains a bare-bones 1.5 installation with test data. I uploaded one photo and inserted it in the main examples page, then ran the import procedure.

The import procedure managed to copy the images (including my new one) to an appropriate folder in the uploads tree. But the import page reported that no media were copied. The new file is not seen in the media library. And the button for fixing links didn’t fix anything.

Oops. Sorry about that. Fixed, I think.

Yes, Allow URL fopen is on.

The site is https://www.kbs.msu.edu but I made a copy of it at oldweb.kbs.msu.edu where I could make sure it was on. I just now removed the IP address restrictions on oldweb.kbs.msu.edu so you could access it. However, I would not be able to give the mysql password for that site; if you need something like that I’d have to set up a dummy web to do it with.

The full error messages are like this, btw:

[fgj2wp] Can’t copy oldweb.kbs.msu.edu/images/stories/Sanctuary/News_Item_Photos/goslings.jpg to E:\webhosts\newweb/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/goslings.jpg : copy(oldweb.kbs.msu.edu/images/stories/Sanctuary/News_Item_Photos/goslings.jpg) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory

It’s interesting that the exact same problem occurs on a Unix system as on a Windows system.

I have the same question.

It may need some updates to work correctly with multisite. I’m trying to use it to secure just some of the sites in a multisite installation.
