 * What are my chances to import images from custom type posts to posts? No matter
   what i check, CSV file still doesn’t includes images … after all it’s just text
   file 🙂
 * Am i missing something?
 * Thank you

 * Hi gregy1403
 * Thanks for your message.
 * Have you looked at the ‘thumbnail’ section here:
 * [http://cpkwebsolutions.com/plugins/wp-csv/csv-column-descriptions/](http://cpkwebsolutions.com/plugins/wp-csv/csv-column-descriptions/)
 * The plugin provides limited support for images and as you say since CSV can’t
   carry images, it just uses image paths and you’re expected to ensure that the
   images are already on the server in the right place.
 * I guess it’s more complicated, but taking you literally, you could just change
   the ‘post_type’ column from [your cpt] to ‘post’ and the featured image should
   be preserved. The plugin doesn’t yet support galleries or image links in the 
   content, but in this case, those would stay the same.
 * Best wishes
 * Paul
 * PS: As always, full site back up before doing any major changes. Perhaps just
   start with one post and use it to experiment with.

 * I tried before with thumbnails, yet i didn’t came up with fact, that url of image
   can be copied, but i have to manually load them with the same folder structure…
 * I’m gonna play around. Thank you
