In reply to: how do i export my media libraryOnce imported, it is supposed to download your attachements (media) from the old site. That is why has has a checkbox saying that it will do that.
It had now actually done that but only if you export everything – pages, posts, categories etc….
I only wanted to export posts so now i have a lot of cleaning up to do but that’s going to take a lot less time than adding the media in again to each post by hand.

In reply to: how do i export my media libraryOK i think i have partially solved this now.
I exported only my ‘posts’ via the tools>export option in the dashboard.
This did not copy the images and stuff over despite me ticking the checkbox. Blatantly a bug.
What i then did was to do a full export, again via the tools>export in the dashboard (and tick the box)
Ok, so then when i tried to import it told me that my php.ini had a 2M file size limit and failed to import.
I edited my php.ini to sort that out but it still did not work so i added this to my .htaccess
php_value upload_max_filesize 50M
php_value post_max_size 50M
php_value max_execution_time 500
php_value max_input_time 500and then it worked.
It’s busy downloading it all now.
Cant believe how much of a faff that was but alls well that ends well.
I hope this helps the next person to discover this rather large problem.
I’m glad i found out about it during a planned upgrade and not while trying to recover from a server failure or something. This bug could well extend your outage by hours and hours
