Dear Thomas, I have to clean up my old installation and moving from domain.com to dev.domain.com I used Export media with selected content to transfer the media (I could NOT clone the DB in order to clear it out). So far all is good. But I am missing the ISC data in the new installation. The question is: Is there a way to export and import? SQL Query? I am not sure as of yet if the Post IDs have changed using the Export Plugin… Is this available in Pro? Thank you for any guidance, Matt Hi Matt, thanks for reaching out. I haven’t tested the export, yet, and just did. When using Tools > Export to export media, I can see that the image source metadata is included in the XML file. When I import that file using the WordPress importer on another site, all images and the metadata is imported, too. Even with changed IDs. You should find the image source information in the appropriate fields in the media library. Is that what is already missing in your case? Do you still have the exported XML and could take a look if you find image attribution strings in there? You could look for isc_image_source . What is missing or simply wrong is the index that stores post and image relations. So the Global List might be empty at first. Ideally, go to Media > Image Sources and find the button to clear the post-images index. The index should now start rebuilding itself with each page visit in the frontend. Please let me know what you find. Best, Thomas Dear Thomas, yes you did it! Your “tools” and rebuilding did the trick – everything is here now… Wow. Thank you so much. All the best, Matt This reply was modified 1 year, 1 month ago by LPZ . Hallo to read that it worked! If you enjoy the plugin, I’d love to see your review here . Thanks, Thomas hi Thomas, I had already reviewed it – 5 Stars of course… Best, Matthias Thank you, Matthias!
