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. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [how do i export my media library](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-export-my-media-library/) * Thread Starter [bexley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bexley/) * (@bexley) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-export-my-media-library/#post-3304861) * OK 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 500 * and 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 * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How do i create a page that displays all of my posts?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-create-a-page-that-displays-all-of-my-posts/) * Thread Starter [bexley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bexley/) * (@bexley) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-create-a-page-that-displays-all-of-my-posts/#post-2536111) * ah yes, thank you very much i missed the wood for all of the trees. * Thank you for you help converting2wp Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total)
