Hi i have a news website with a pretty big database full of posts and pictures, now for several reasons i'm creating a new wordpress website, but i want to import all the news, with the pictures from the old website.

those are the steps i tried:

• export the wp xml from the old website, tools -> export

• export the media library with DownML plugin

• upload the images from DownML using Filezilla ( in the upload dir )

• import the xml file tools -> import

but something is wrong, it shows all the old posts but there's no highlighted image

why? how can i do that ?
