Description
Export/Import Media allows you to easily migrate your WordPress media library from one site to another. It generates a CSV file with all the necessary information (URLs, paths, alt text, titles, captions, descriptions) and then uses that file to import the images into a new site.
The process is handled in real-time with an AJAX-powered progress bar, allowing you to import hundreds or thousands of images without server timeouts. It’s perfect for site migrations or for syncing media libraries.
