Dear support:

I have a presales question, my site was done by another developer before, and using WP Media Folder plugin to manage all the media files.

However, I decide to leave this developer, so ask him to give me the full backup of my site.

He did, but the backup he provided to me does not have your plugin installed. So after I restore, I stuck with my default WordPress media file manager.

My question is if I purchase your plugin. Do you think I could get my old folder structure back? Are that information stored in the images?

I'm really worried, otherwise, I have to redo the whole thing one by one.

Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for contacting us here about this extension.

Yes, you will see your folders structure when installing our plugin.
Do not worry about that. Please order here, we have discount for WP Media Folder by the way.

Hope it helps!

Hi, thanks, but I have a bit of extra issue here.
Let's say I restored the full site backup into Development Site A, so according to your answer the folder structure is stored in the database, so it will restore once I install your plugin.

However, what I need to do is instead of installing the plugin in Development Site A. I'm exporting all POSTS with images only from Development Site A, into the Development Site B. Because due to some reason, I can not work on the new site on Development Site A.

So now I have all the posts and all images in Development Site B. (Development Site B is just a brand new site with all the posts & images) no other database information been transferred over. How should I resolve this issue now then?

If I install your plugin in Development site C, will all the image folder structure be there?

I hope this is clear to you. Thank you!

Hi,

In continuation of the question above - we've got 100% similar issue.

So ive I installed the wp media exporter to Development site A and was asking me this options below

http://prntscr.com/o37pcg

So as OP mentioned we have exported and imported all images from Development site A to B already using wordpress tools > media > xml file.

What's the next step?

We just need the same folder structure. that's all - no need to do re-upload or whatsoever. Your reply is much appreciated thanks!

If you already imported images, you should choose "None" in the 1st image
and "wpmf-category---WPMF Categories" in the 2nd one.

Hope it helps!

Dear support:

I did try export the category, and imported to Development Site B. yes I see all the folder structure, however, all images are not inside the folder, it's all in the root folder, not in it's own folder.

please advise. thanks!
