## Beschreibung

**Note: Obsolete since WordPress 4.4**

[This feature has been added into the core of WordPress 4.4](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/32230).
You can now export your attachments by going to Tools->Export and select ‚Media‘
as the export type.

**Original Description**

WP Attachment Export allows you to export your media library into a WordPress eXtended
RSS or WXR file. You can then use the Tools->Import function in another WordPress
installation to import the media library.

I used this to export all media XML from one site into a newer version of the site.
Worked Beautifully, saving me weeks of work!

I had to import all of my posts from my old blog to a new one. Was dreading the 
thought of having to import all of the images manually after noticing using Wordpress
Importer only made the attachment point to the old URL. Found this plugin and followed
the instructions in PhiLHo’s comment above and it worked perfectly.

We asked ourselves lot of questions about how to use it, but it is actually very
simple. But it is better to be explicit about the procedure, though… We installed
the plugin on the WordPress site to export. We exported the articles via WordPress(
Tools > Export > WordPress). Then we exported the media via the plugin (Tools > 
Attachment Export or Export item in the plugin list). We need to rename the exported
XML file as it will have the same name than the previous one. You must keep both.
Then, in the target site, just import (Tools > Import > WordPress) the file with
the articles, then, with the same command, the file with the media. After the first
import, you can see the articles with the images, but they point to the old site(
ie. href is http://your.old.site/wp-content/uploads/some/date/name.jpg for example).
After the second import, they will point to the new site, to the imported files.
Notes: – Images are fetched from the old site, so it must be online. See the forum(
Support) for alternatives (FTP). – PHP / WordPress doesn’t like long operations,
so the import might „fail“, because it takes time to import all these files. But
it has actually done part of the work. Import the media XML file again, it will 
skip over the already imported files (with a message) and continue where it stopped.

Seriously I borked a script and lost all media in the new site. This worked great
to get all images back into the media library. Thank you.
