<p>WP Smart Image II is a WordPress plugin which gives you a whole control over the thumbnails that you wish to show with posts and pages (e.g. the index of a website).</p>
<p>This plugin combines the best image management functionalities in WordPress and turn their handling in a very easy job.</p>
<h4>How works WP Smart Image II</h4>
<p>WP Smart Image II takes all WordPress image functions and put on your hands in a simple and right way.</p>
<h4>“Right way”?… Are there wrong ways to show post images?</h4>
<p>Yes! Custom fields (e.g.) is a very wrong and annoying way to do this job. If you are used custom fields to assign images to posts, with WP Smart Image II will forget all the extra work and will enjoy the real process automation that has been in WordPress all this time and probably you never knew existed.</p>
<h4>What’s the problem with WordPress native image engine?</h4>
<p>No problem! Otherwise, the <a href="http://www.wordpress.org" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress</a> image engine is one of the most advanced and flexible ones so far. WordPress offers a wide range of functionalities and tags, which allows for and easy handling of images and files, associating them with posts, categories, pages and other elements with total freedom.</p>
<p>However, the problem with all these funcionalities is that finding the propper way to associate data and get a specific result can get really hard. In an attempt to do that, many people have tried to do it by setting through custom fields, ignoring that WordPress has a large platform with many resources at our disposal to do that.</p>
<h4>What isn’t Wp Smart Image II?</h4>
<p>It is not a filter that works inside the content. WP Smart Image II only works in the template areas and it’s use is focused to the template’s file system.</p>
<p>It is not a plugin that changes other functionalities behaviour. It’s a resource that lets you take advantage of the already existing functionalities provided by WordPress.</p>

WP Smart Image II

Powerful, reliable and lightweight plugin which helps you to easily show post images and handle them. Essential tool for web designers and developers.

Spencer Piontkowski

<h4>What is this?</h4>
<p>I found the WordPress Importer plugin is good for importing posts and comments, but is lacking when it comes to importing large attachments (like images) from large sites. My import would often time out and crash. I wrote this plugin to help with my own blog migrations, but I hope you find it useful too.</p>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<ol>
<li>As a prerequisite, import your WXR file using the WordPress importer, but do not select the option to Download and Import Attachments. I have found that an import file up to 15MB big will work as long as you don’t import attachments.</li>
<li>Navigate to the Attachment Importer screen.</li>
<li>Select your WXR export file.</li>
<li>Select the user you would like to be the owner of the downloaded images. Default: current user.</li>
<li>Sit back and let the importer run. The process can take as little as 10 seconds for 10 images, or about two hours for 2000 images. These times depend on the server that hosts your WordPress site.</li>
<li>If you receive any errors during the process, try running the file again after it finishes.  The plugin is programmed to ignore files that match the following criteria:
<ul>
<li>Same name</li>
<li>Same file name</li>
<li>Same upload date</li>
<li>Same file size</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
<h4>How it works.</h4>
<p>This plugin uses <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/FileReader" rel="nofollow ugc">FileReader</a> and to parse the XML file in the browser, then uses ajax to request WordPress perform individual uploads.</p>

Attachment Importer

Thank you so much for sharing this with the WP community. It helped me get around timeouts and so much frustration. I didn't find any problems with the plugin.

Very helpful plugin that works

I found this plug-in as I was having trouble moving data on a shared server that can not be migrated.
Importing of media that has failed many times is proceeding smoothly.
Thank you for a wonderful plugin !!

Thank you so much!!!!

Even though the plugin hasn't been updated for quite a while, it still works great even with the latest WordPress (5.3). Thanks for the development!

Still great!

Import attachments from another WordPress blog using a WXR file.
