Featured images are theme specific and not all themes have them. Moreover, theme files cannot be exported and imported.
Media files including images are attachment files and when we import an XML file we are asked if we want to include the attachments or not.

At first, I was thinking it has to do with the folder permissions thing !!
-The wp-content/ folder already have 777 permissions
-The wp-content/uploads folder also have 777 permissions.What am I missing ?

@aowchinese if some items imported, you may need to re-run the importer — hosts will often time out because media imports take a while.
If no media items imported:
– make sure the old site exists and the media items have not been deleted
– have your host check error logs to see what went wrong
– If needed, get more help at https://wordpress.org/support as they will be better able to help you troubleshoot your host’s settings.
