    I’ve imported my wordpress.com blog to my own wordpress.org site. All text and images are ok, but I want to shut down my wordpress.com site. The problem is the imported posts still reference to images hosted on wordpress.com. Is there an easy way to copy over all the images and change the references on my wordpress.org blog?

    Most people leave their images on their WordPress.com blogs with a note that the site has moved to a new location. It also helps to protect old posts from being lost in the shuffle.

    If you still want to close the WordPress.com site, you could do a Search and Replace in WordPress MySQL Database to find all the URL links to the WordPress.com site and replace them with the URL link to your images.

    The problem is that WordPress.com links images to specific posts which you cannot easily replace in the code. However, there might be a solution.

    Bulk Image Downloader for WordPress Users claims to work especially with WordPress.com blogs to download images from your blog to migrate to a new blog. You’ll have to get your support help from the developer, but it looks like a good solution.
