Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about HDEV Import / Export Post

They are downloaded into the destination site's own media library. The plugin then rewrites the image URLs inside the post content so they point at the new local copies, not the original site.

No — not with the default settings. The importer matches posts by slug and post type, so re-importing the same file updates the existing posts instead of creating copies, and previously downloaded images are reused instead of downloaded again. If you prefer every import to create fresh posts, untick Update existing posts instead of creating duplicates before importing.

It is detected automatically from your existing content: the plugin looks at the publish dates of the selected post type and lists only the months that actually have content. Switching the post type refreshes the list.

Yes. Categories, tags and custom taxonomy terms are exported with each post. On import, terms that already exist (matched by slug) are reused, and missing ones are created automatically — including the full parent/child hierarchy, even when the parent categories themselves had no posts in the export.

Yes. Media downloads from local development hosts (localhost, .local, .test and private network addresses) are allowed during import, so moving content between Local sites on the same machine works. Note that the source site must be reachable from the destination — another computer cannot resolve your machine's .local domains.

By default the importer keeps the original author when a user with the same username exists on the destination site, and falls back to the importing user otherwise. You can also choose a specific user from the Assign posts to dropdown to own every imported post.

For each post: title, content, excerpt, status, type, slug, author, dates, comment and ping status, menu order, taxonomy terms with their full hierarchy, post meta, the featured image URL and (optionally) the URLs of attached media.

No. It uses the standard WordPress posts, postmeta, terms and transients APIs only.
