Importing doesn't change image urls.
-
Importing my wordpress.org blog to wordpress.com downloads media (images) but doesn’t chang image urls in posts – They still link to my old external blog.
Using wp 3.2.1 Hebrew.
Blog url: http://oryband.wordpress.com/ -
Yes, if the images weren’t attached to the post and were just referenced via URL in the post, they’ll need to be manually changed after the import.

I’m talking about 650~ images.
Changing them manually would take ages.
Isn’t there a fast way to do this?
My original blog has all of them in wp-content/ dir, which means their viewable through the admin’s media library.
Image tags look like this:
<img src=”http://oryband.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2033_l.jpg” alt=”” />

Listen, what you said wasn’t true:
I just used another plugin to cache the image sto the media library AND attach them.
After import, image urls didn’t change.
Do you have any idea..?
-
Looking at your blog it looks like the images were imported.
If you’re still having problems with this – did you completely empty the blog (including the trash) before re-running the import with the images being attached?.
Attached images should be imported, and links changed, but this process runs after the posts import is complete and might take a few extra hours.

Yes, you are absolutely right. I used this plugin to cache all images on my original blog before transferring, and the import worked like a charm. Thank you very much for your time.
