Save Your Blog Post Images in WordPress
Use the WordPress native import option
When you import your Blog Porter export in WordPress, select the checkbox "Download and import file attachments" during the import process so that featured images are imported.
If you do not select that checkbox, the images will remain linked to the original source and will not be downloaded into WordPress.
What to do now
- Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard
- Go to Tools → Import
- Run the WordPress importer
- Upload your Blog Porter export file
- Select the checkbox "Download and import file attachments" so that featured images are imported
- Submit the import
Important note
This built-in WordPress option covers featured image import in the standard Blog Porter workflow, so no extra image import plugin is needed for this step.
