Featured Images Not Showing Up on Import

Posted in: Newsmag

Hi –

I just purchased your Newspaper theme for WordPress, and my developer has encountered a problem with importing the content to the new theme. For some reason the featured image is not showing up when we export the content from my existing theme and then import it into the new theme. He tried to import my posts a few times, but every time the featured images were missing.

Could there be some kind of conflict, or is the theme is coded differently? Perhaps there is a plugin that might be able to help us out?

Thanks very much. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Featured images are set from wordpress functions, not theme functions. Normally when changing themes you dont need to reimport content since its in the database, and media manager, not the theme.

I dont work here, but sounds like some miscommunication going on there.

Hi, Chris –

Thanks for your response. Please note we’re not switching themes. We set up the Newspaper demo and are trying to import content from our old site. The posts we’re trying to import are missing images.

Hello warrentab,

Please ensure that you have right imported our demo according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-installing-demos/ Also, if your images are not imported, please check your system status parameters to be increased according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/ Probably, your PHP memory is too low and that’s why the images cannot be imported because does not have enough allocate space on your server. Try to follow this advice and check the results.

Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!

Thanks for the message!

Is there another plugin to migrate posts with images. I’ve been using WordPress functionality but I’m having the issues with featured image. I don’t need to migrate my old website, just need to import the posts into your demo since it’s already styled and pages setup.

Would you recommend instead of importing content, adding the theme to my old site instead? I’m basically trying to replace the theme of my old site with your theme and keep the content but have the home page Newspaper theme is using in the demo. I thought maybe my best bet is to setup the Newspaper demo and import my old content, but I wanted to ask you if this is the best way or adding the theme and replacing my old them might be a better option? What do you think? Is there documentation that can help me with this task?

I would likely do the import using default 2016 theme first; then once you have import done; switch to the tagDiv theme. The simply do force refresh plugin for the images to render at sizes for theme.

What you’re trying to do is not theme related, so folks here can only provide advice.

Sorry to intrude. I’m no longer butting in anymore as of tonight; 4 years of helping out is my limit now. Cheers.
