The import on a fresh install gave lots of errors about wrong post types, so the export file definitely contains some weird stuff that isn’t the attachment type. The DB is a decade old and has seen some battles, so the issue is probably too esoteric to be worth looking into.
I’ve figured out a way to migrate with normal export now. Thank you for your time.
I have an idea. I’m going to export the whole database to a fresh WordPress install and see if I can properly export from that.
I’ll report back with results later.
I also updated a falsely included article with a new author in case that somehow “refreshes” it. It’s still included when I choose to export the “export2” user only.
I disabled all plugins and cleared cache. This reduced the export output from 518kb to 422kb. Still has some posts by authors other than “export2.”
I then installed and switched to the Twenty Twenty-Two theme and cleared cache in case the theme was doing something. Still the same 422kb.
The database is very old and could have some funk from use and abuse, but it all displays and edits correctly in WP with no noticable bugs.
A resync would fix the issue. I have sent the information. Thank you so much!
PS. To confirm my appraisal of the bug, I made a filter to exclude posts with the tag Featured.
The code made my related section finally get some fresh (meaning older in this case) posts… but they were mostly posts that did in fact have the tag Featured.
