   Please put featured images back into export posts. This worked fine in previous versions and now doesn't included featured images only images in posts. Very annoying having to export everything and import everything, especially when you have a very large database and the import falls over a lot.

   It should still be doing that. I did a quick test on my local site and it imported featured images just fine, so long as they were correctly marked as featured (that is attached to the post - as a featured should be).

   It is not. I am running Version 3.2.1 on server and local copy and the xml export of posts per month contains no featured image data as attached to posts.

   This worked in 3.1. I exported new posts every month with no problem.

   This was fixed 15 months ago: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/14847

   Are you using the most recent version of the importer? http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-importer/

   I think if you read that post nobody actually confirmed it was working.

   I have the latest importer but the problem is with the export. No featured image information is contained in the xml - I have checked it. You are welcome to examine it if you don't believe me - I will send you a copy.

   The export of blog posts with a date range has no featured image data. This is unacceptable as previously it worked fine.

   I confirm this.

   Plugin/Tool has no effect on Featured-Image. Tested & retested today several times. No luck!

   10x!

   I also tried this today with no luck.

   I need the best way to move post from an individual author from a community blog to an individual blog within the same network and a multisite

   Using wordpress 3.3.1 with multisites enabled
   wordpess importer 0.5

   Also - it did not import the image - just the img src but since the image is on the same network thats not a big deal but it is when you are importing from another blog on another network that will be deleted

   Any progress on this? I am scouring the web to find this out... does anybody what is the actual xml element assigned to the featured image?
   What I am trying to do is import a custom post type with featured images. But I can't even import a normal post with a featured image.

   thanks for the help.

    none than I've seen... I noticed is that the featured images are exported as ID numbers as opposed to file urls. Wouldn't it be better to export them as files?

    The export never exported files. When you run the IMPORT it's supposed to bring them in.

    It should be noted that featured images, and all attachments for that matter, are only included in a full export of all content.

    If you filter by post type or date it will not include the attachment post entries and therefore not include featured images.
