Hi. Does this plugin also pick up and import images found in custom fields & field groups created by ACF? Hi @maginem , Currently, the plugin only picks up images that are included directly in the post content. It does not retrieve images stored in custom fields or post meta. I have added your request to our feature list so it can be properly evaluated and prioritized.
