How Blog Porter Moves Images into WordPress
Blog Porter imports available inline and featured images into your WordPress Media Library during the migration. You do not need a separate image-import plugin or a WordPress Importer attachment checkbox.
During your migration
- Start the migration from the Blog Porter screen in WordPress.
- Blog Porter imports posts in resumable batches and downloads their available media as it goes.
- If an image already exists from an earlier attempt, Blog Porter reuses it instead of creating a duplicate.
- Leave the page open while importing. If it stops, return to Blog Porter and continue; progress is saved.
Review the media summary
When the migration finishes, Blog Porter reports:
- Downloaded — images newly added to the Media Library.
- Reused — images already imported during an earlier batch or resumed import.
- Failed — images WordPress could not retrieve yet.
Open a few migrated posts and confirm their inline and featured images look right. Video embeds remain embeds; they are not copied into your Media Library.
If an image failed
Use the retry option in Blog Porter to try the failed batch again. A source image can fail when the original site is temporarily unavailable, blocks the request, requires a login, or the image URL no longer exists.
If it still fails, add that image manually from an available original copy or contact us with the migration details. Do not install a third-party bulk image importer just to complete a Blog Porter migration.
