Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Export/Import Media – CSV Media Library Import & Export

Yes, when you run a remote import. The plugin downloads the file from the URL in the CSV, adds it to the WordPress media library, and creates the attachment record. With Local Import Mode, it can also register files that already exist inside your uploads directory.
Yes. Prepare a CSV with an absolute URL or relative path for each file, upload it in the plugin screen, validate it, preview the rows, and start the batch import.
The free plugin supports common media metadata columns including title, alt text, caption, and description. It also reads media location columns such as absolute URL and relative path.
The free plugin checks for existing matches using stored source data, relative paths, attachment paths, and file fingerprints. If it finds a duplicate, it skips that row instead of creating another attachment.
No. In the free plugin, detected duplicates are skipped in the standard workflow. Updating metadata on existing attachments, selecting match rules, and replacing files are Pro workflows.
By checking this option, WordPress imports only the original image and skips creating intermediate image sizes during the import process. This makes large image imports faster. You can regenerate thumbnails later using a dedicated plugin.
The free plugin provides preview and downloadable logs, but it does not include rollback. Rollback restore points before import are available in the Pro add-on.
Export/Import Media Pro adds rollback restore points before imports, saved workflows, background processing, controlled matching, selective metadata updates, replace-file workflows, history, and image conversion options where the server and source file handling support them.
Yes. You can filter exports by date range, media type, and attachment context, including unattached files and media attached to posts or pages.
Export filters can include product attachment context when WooCommerce is active and product attachments are available. The standard free CSV import creates media attachments; assigning imported images to products is outside the free import workflow.
