Scenario: I have a development website on a server, and a development site on my local machine. I have data entry people adding Custom Posts on the Server, then I am exporting those custom posts and importing them into my local machine for testing and coding.
Problem: All image fields (images & galleries) are configured to save “Image ID”, and when I export/import into my local machine, I can see custom fields with Image IDs, but no matching image is imported. Also, I’m wondering if the image was to be imported, wouldn’t it have a different ID?
I need to know how to get the images attached to the custom posts (on my server), to be imported into my local machine when I do an Export from server & import into my local machine.
Hi @nuresponse
unfortunately this is outside the scope of the ACF project at the moment.
ACF is just a GUI layer for the native custom fields. Perhaps in the future I can extend the WP importer to also look at image values, but at the moment, this is not possible
If we could do an export plugin that translates the Image ID into the actual URLs that could work.
