 * You just need to check the box that says “Download files and attachments” when
   running the import. Then your images etc will be copied over 🙂

 * Quirkymaz – that is not currently correct. There is a problem with this plugin.
   THe media files are not transferring correctly even when the check box it checked.
 * I have used the same plugin for years – this is a new problem
