Attachment Importer

Even though the plugin hasn't been updated for quite a while, it still works great even with the latest WordPress (5.3). Thanks for the development!

I have some expensive importer/exporter plugins and this was the only one that would move over the images between hosting services and import them into the database without an issue. Nice work!

I found this plug-in as I was having trouble moving data on a shared server that can not be migrated. Importing of media that has failed many times is proceeding smoothly. Thank you for a wonderful plugin !!

You saved me from a couple of weeks work!

Thank you so much for sharing this with the WP community. It helped me get around timeouts and so much frustration. I didn't find any problems with the plugin.

I`ve been searching for a solution to deal with faulty demo content importing processes, and the Attachment Importer plugin works flawlessly! Literally, it saved me hours of work! What I would love to see though is an update, just to get rid of that "2 years" notice from the plugin page.

I am adding this plugin to my arsenal of website development plugins.

I had to transfer post and pages that were previously migrated from an old wordpress structure.

Many media files from the exported website were showing to be an item in the media library however were not in the file structure returning 404 errors which caused the import to be a mess!

I kept having timeout issues when importing the large XML file, I even split it into small 200k files without any luck. This plugin helped me isolate the attachment import process which allowed me to import the whole large XML export XML without attachments. I then imported a separate XML that only contained the attachments for the posts and pages with https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-attachment-export/.

This plugin ran in the background processing the attachment imports without any timeout issues!

Great plugin, please keep updating!

Error: "There were no attachment files found in the import file."
Maybe because of Umlaute somewhere in the file ...

i have 800+ posts and 9000+ images, this plugin was right way for me

This plugin is impressive. Not only does it actually import attachments, unlike the Wordpress importer, but it properly attaches them to the right posts (at least, it did for me, I've noticed other reviews saying it didn't). I used this in combination with WP Attachment Export, and for the most part, it worked great.

The only that didn't work is that, at first, it only saw 179 attachments. I had to edit the WRX file after the first run to delete references to those 179 attachments and after that, the plugin successfully found the remaining 1500 or so. This may be an incompatibility with the latest version of Wordpress. Regardless, this tool still saved me a TON of time.
