Images attachment problem after moving the website

    Hi!
    I have moved my website via WordPress Export-Import. It all worked well, all posts and images at the right place and date…
    Now I had to remove all the old URL, since I turn off the old website very soon. I did that via plugin ‘search & replace’.
    After that, all immigrated images are gone (both in work-mode and preview) and I see only the Alt-tag instead.
    The link in the post (Text-mode) seems right.
    The images are still all in Media Library.
    But in Media Library they are now all ‘unattached’.
    By choosing ‘attach’ and the belonging post there is no success.

    Do I have to insert all images again in the posts? Or is there an easier way to ‘reattach’/ ‘relink’ my images into the posts?

    Thank you in advance!
    Insa

    Hi there,

    Looks like you’re in the wrong forum. It appears that you’re using the self-hosted version of WordPress and you need to seek help at the WordPress.org forums:
