and the import worked without error but no image is displayed in the post or in the gallery.

  1. In the item where you want to image to be features you should add something like:

    <wp:postmeta>
    <wp:meta_key>_thumbnail_id</wp:meta_key>
    <wp:meta_value><![CDATA[your image wp:post_id parameter]]></wp:meta_value>
</wp:postmeta>

    Hope it helps.
