I have a problem with a huge wordpress website. I can’t export data using the native WordPress Export feature (too posts, the process simply gives an incomplete XML file), I’ve been able to export each single post_type (post, news, pages, custom post type, ecc.) but doing so I miss all the images. Basically I’ve learned that WP export all media infos, only when you do a complete export.
Since I have to deal with tens of thousands of posts, I can’t open one by one and add the featured image, I need to, somehow, automate this procedure. (Basically I should be able to find the featured image url “scraping” the website creating a list of URLs from the XML file – I have access to admin setup, but as already stated, I can’t retrieve such info one by one).
PREMISE: I can’t access the DB nor install other plugins in WP, or change any php file.
Typically, this may be done during the import process. Have you seen the checkbox that looks similar to this?
