Import file not changing Image Links.
-
I downloaded the export xml file of my blog, and did a find/replace of the image links since I am moving hosts. When I upload the new xml the links do not change.
Any help please.
Blog url: http://shanederuise.wordpress.com/The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Are you moving from a WordPress.com blog to a self-hosted WordPress.org blog?
If so, what are the URLs of the two blogs?
-
i am not. i am exporting http://shanederuise.wordpress.com
then performing a search and replace of IE: http://imagehost.com/image/
replacing that with a new image location http://newimagehost.com/image/
and when I upload the exported xml into the same blog, it does not change the links.
-
The importer will not replace or duplicate existing posts. You would need to completely empty out your blog to do what you want.
I can do that for you, but please not that this is permanent and cannot be undone.
Would you like me to do that?
-
I see. Will permanently removing all current posts and content reset the stats? the comments are backed up within the xml file so I am not so much worried about those, as I am the stats and such.

-
then there is no way to do a search and replace of the image links in the current files so that stats wont be lost? other than one-by-one page editing?

I am seriously considering this option… but is there anyway to backup or save stats so that they can be referred to after they are gone?
