  Hello,
  I need some help migrating my WordPress media library to my new domain, http://www.originstoryseries.com. The images are not showing up. I migrated the full installation, and all the text, links and ads are appearing, but not the images.

  I uploaded the images to the wp-content/uploads/ folder, but the Media Library images are still broken.

  Do the images on the site show up for you on your browser?

  The representative recommended I export and import the original SQL file.

  Any ideas?

  Thanks all!
  Adam

  Hi there,

  If you use the exported XML from your WordPress.com site, then all your images will be imported to your new site when you import them using the default WordPress importer.

  This is how to export your content:

  and this is how to import it:
