Importing a template with images

[jlouproductions]

I have built a test site on my local computer. I want to export a page template that includes images and import that page template into a hosted site. When I do that, it works perfectly, except it keeps the local host urls for the images. Is there a way to have it import the images into the media library on the hosted site as well?

Hello @jlouproductions,

Thanks for asking.

The image files you will have to import manually as they are saved under /wp-content/uploads/ directory. Cornerstone template will contain the data, it does not contains the media files. For that you need to move the images manually or an easier option as you are developing locally would be to move the website from local to server. Here’s an article that you can take a look:

Thanks.

Thanks. That is what I figured, but I thought I would ask.
