Now the media is showing up on the site as it should but is not showing in the media library. The backup was too old to use for everything but had the missing media. I was able to restore pages and posts and I got most of the images showing up just by manually uploading media into the uploads folders from a backup. I did not move the content over to a good admin user. I deleted an admin user that created a ton of content, media etc on the site in prior years. If I misunderstood your original question, please let me know. These are the two options I recommend above all others. Purchase a hosting plan from them, and use their Migrate to WP Engine plugin to move the entire site. WP Engine is a host that does this for you. If you are building more than one site a year, it is worth the investment, based strictly on how much time it will save you.Īnother way to migrate sites is to use a hosting service that moves the entire site for you. What this tool will do is move all the tables from your original site to the new site, and also do a search and replace on the URLs. One tool that works for moving WordPress databases is WP Migrate DB Pro. The easiest ways to do this are to use tools to move the database. There are a couple of ways you can do this. If that’s the case, you need to make sure that you are also moving the database from the original site to the new site.

Once you find the images or media you need to import, just tick the appropriate checkboxes and import your FTP uploads into the Media Library.Īdd To Server isn’t a plugin you should need very often, but it is good to know it is there and how to use it.Ĭan you be more specific about what you are trying to do? Correct me if I’m wrong here, but it sounds like you downloaded a WordPress site (the files) using FTP, and then uploaded it on another server. There are also quick-jump links to the root folder, the wp-content folder and the uploads folder. On the Import Media screen, you can drill down to find the media you want to import into the Media Library. You can also set the server path to uploaded media, or allow it to search the entire WordPress server install.

The Add From Server plugin imports your FTP uploads into the WP Media Library, and allows you to use them as you would normally.Īfter you install the plugin, you can set the options for who is allowed to import media from the server, either by user roles or by user name. The WordPress Media Library cannot “see” images that are not uploaded through the Media Library uploader, and therefore cannot be selected for use as Featured Images or in future Posts. But uploading images directly to the target server through FTP produces another intriguing problem. This might occur during a migration from a server that is out of date or underpowered, where moving the Uploads folder via a plugin does not work as smoothly as expected. Though this is not a common problem, there are times in WordPress when you may have to upload images via FTP to the server. If you are looking for alternatives, a newer plugin by another developer, Media From FTP, might be worth checking out, as it appears to work in a similar fashion.

(Edit: re-opened, I’ll update warnings later)”Īccording to the plugin author of Add From Server, the plugin is not actively supported, but the code works. The plugin will be re-opened at a future time when I’ve had a chance to add the “THIS IS COMPLETELY UNSUPPORTED CODE FROM 8 YEARS AGO BUT STILL WORKS” warnings. If you had the plugin automatically removed from your site, please complain to whomever did that, as that’s a step too far. “Plugin was closed at my request as I got sick of the constant stream of complaints about it not working and reviews to that direction.

UPDATE March 28th, 2018 The plugin author had the plugin removed temporarily and stated the following: No details yet on whether this was an action by the plugin author or the Plugin Review team.

UPDATE March 23rd, 2018: Add From Server was closed as a plugin on the WordPress repo as of earlier today. Website Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Instagram YouTube
