Migrating posts

Hi!
I’ve been busy building a new website (based on an old one) and both websites use the Newspaper theme.
The new website is now ready to go live but just one more thing, migrating al the posts from the old website to the new one. When i use the WordPress importer to import the XML all seems to be going fine but the Featured images for every post won’t show. How do i fix this? I tried the plugin “regenerate thumbnails” but no effect. Could it have perhaps something to do with the old website using WP Bakery page builder and the new one TagDiv composer? Seems unlikely because it only concerns the featured image for every post that is not showing.

The new website can be viewed Here

Thanks for your help!

Hello Jacco!

There is a conflict between TagDiv Composer and WP Bakery.
Disable the lazy load animation: https://www.screencast.com/t/O5pfqQdb, delete the cache and see the results.

Thank you!

Hey Bettina, goodmorning!

I’ve tried disabling lazy load (it was already disabled) so i enabled and disabled it again while saving the settings and deleting the cache. Unfortunately no result. Is there something else we can try?

Hello Jacco!

I can see that in the code you do not have a featured image or a link with any image. So, please try to set up the image again as in this link and see the changes: https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image-or-video/

Thank you!

Hi Bettina,

Thanks for your reply!
This is of course a good solution however i need to do this for like a hundred posts. Isn’t there another way?

And i don’t understand why this featured image doesn’t appear. I’ve exported all my posts from a different website (also using Newspaper theme). and imported them in the new website. So the images should be there right?

Thanks!

Hello Jacco!

If it is working while you set up again for one post, then you should apply it manually for all. It depends how you’ve imported, so the issue could be here while you export-import them.

Thank you!

Ok… Can you please write something of a checklist about exporting and importing so i can retrace my steps to see what i’ve did wrong? So i know for in the future.

Hello Jacco!

Which plugin did you use for migrating posts?

Thank you!

Goodmorning Bettina,

I used the default WordPress importer plugin to migrate the posts.
And i also made sure attachments would also be exported and imported

Hello!

Please try to export Only Media, then Only Posts and import the 2 files(xml) in the new website.

Thank you!

Hi Bettina,

I followed the steps you described and now i have a different error. I guess it’s not related buy i’m not sure:
click here to see what i’m talking about

I first thought this was because TagDiv composer plugin wasn’t active but it doesn’t change when i activate it

Hello,

Please make sure also, tagDiv Cloud Library is activated.

Thank you!
