WP Attachment Export

works perfectly.

Exports only posts of type 'attachment', i.e. your media library

joost de keijzer

When selecting one post type in the WordPress export screen, by default the linked media (attachments) are not included.
This plugin adds an “Export media with selected content” option. When checked, the plugin tries to find featured images and included media in the post_content, adding them to the export file.

This plugin is a must for content migration. This should be the default behavior in WP.

Works perfectly

Massive time saver, no need for premium plugins.  Thanks.
