Wordpress post import with medias

[gnagna]

Hi, 

I am trying to import posts from 2 website build with wordpress but can't get the media with. 

• Website X posts are exported as xml (using https://wordpress.org/plugins/export-media-with-selected-content/ I can select media )
• Export did monthly and file size is around 2MB
• When imported in website Y, I am guetting error 500. 
• When export is done without image, I am able to see the posts in website Y but without features images, 
• I uploaded the media folder to the new website but can't see the media in Wordpress Library. 

Please can you help. 

Thanks

A couple of things - if you are getting a 500 error - in theory there should be an errorlog file to see why it's giving you an error - If I had to guess it might be a memory issue

In regards to upload the media and it not showing - 

I'm guessing you FTPed the files - here is a plugin that can scan the media (files on the server) and add them to the database

Hi @PL281  

Thanks for you reply, you must be right for the memory issue, the thing is I don't know how to get access to the memory log. Anyway I will look at your solution for media scan. But you didn't gave the plugin name, I search and found this one (https://wordpress.org/plugins/media-sync/)  that will try later. If you have another one please advise. 

Thanks
