Works very well for images but not PDFs or featured images
-
Giving this five stars because it does what it’s supposed to do very well… but it’s still missing some important features!
The Import External Attachments plugin (unsupported but still in the WP repository) does two things this plugin doesn’t… that anyone importing large numbers of posts is likely to need:
1) A bulk-import feature on the settings page
2) It imports PDFs and other attachmentsNeither plugin imports or re-sets featured-images. I’m not sure how complex this would be to implement but it would be <i>very</i> useful.
Again, not knocking what the plugin does — it does what it says it does very well. But it’s not a complete solution for what I suspect are most use cases. (Typically when I import a blog it’s for a client who wants a site re-built from scratch but wants to keep all their old posts. Sometimes thousands of posts! Having to go and re-save each post, and re-attach the featured image to each post is tough. My current client also has at least one PDF on each page as well.)
