WordPress Failed to Import Media

Hi Experts,

I'm trying to transfer a WordPress Site from one server to another using the WordPress Import plugin, but I keep getting "failed to import media" error.

I tried https://chrisedwards.me/wordpress/wordpress-import-images-fix/ but it did not help.

Do I need to remove all content and try something else? If so, how?

Thank you.

Hi Ray,

The plugin worked better, but not everythign quite right especially on the Home page.

source: http://incertoe.com/apoposki/

target: http://nutrition.aces-project.com/

I have already upploaded mt child theme directory via FTP, but why am I missing?

Any ideas?

Sorry, not a clue. You might want to leave this open a bit longer, maybe one of the WP experts can be coaxed out of hiding!

On source server: export to XML

On target server:

•      Setup same users

•      Install parent theme

•      Upload child theme

•      Install plugin One Click Demo Import https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/one-click-demo-import/

•      Import using plug in

•      Set Apearance > Customize > Static Page, Banner, Favicon
