Worked perfectly! Step 1: Ask your hosting company to move all the media files from wp content -> uploads of the old site over to the new siteStep 2: Use the Bulk Media Register on the old site to export a json fileStep 3: Use the Bulk Media Register on the new site to import a json fileDONE! All the images appear in the new media library with their correct date, alt text and title.
What I liked:
Recognizes existing thumbnails versions of the image and keeps them intact
Ajax operation, so not as likely to run into PHP timeout
Correctly recognizes if files are registered or not
Choose folder or subfolders to scan with "Select Register"
Thanks for a great plugin!
This plugin is fantastic and does exactly what it is supposed to. Since the plugin "Add from Server" is no longer updated, I have long searched to find a worthy replacement. Here it is!! Why is this little plugin so unknown? I had to search really long to find it! I'm glad I found it and I made a donation to the developer 🙂
By the way: i don't understand the difference between this plugin and the other two: "Moving Media Library" and "Media from Zip"
Precisava para registrar na biblioteca as imagens enviadas via FTP. Funcionou com minha instalação Wordpress Multisite e registrou mais de 100 imagens de uma vez. Porém, não as registrou em ordem cronológica como estavam renomeadas. Começou pela imagem-47.jpg, depois foi pra imagem-12.jpg, depois para a imagem-78.jpg e assim foi. Então para mim, por causa desse ponto, não foi útil.
This plugin was very helpful in the process of migrating a website where uploading the media files via FTP was the only option available.
However, the user interface needs improvement in terms of usability, design and following the WordPress conventions.
