Problem importing posts

The Hub that I have my channels on is closing soon. So I exported my channels with the app, and imported them with the /import_items link. That went OK, as long as the exported files are not too big.
The result is quite disappointing, all the internal links are wrong, including the pictures and video's. Then I tried to edit each post by hand to correct the links, but I see no 'edit post' button.

I surely hope someone will help me this time...

I did that migrating also some time ago and had the same(?) issues.

If I remember correctly you have to:
- export channel from the old server via the app
- import the channel on the new server
- PLUS import the files etc via the Content Importer app on the new server (I hope I remember this right ...)

Then I asume to use the clone functionality:
- add the new channel as clone. wait a day
- change the the new channel to master. wait a day
(- delete the old channel)
As I am no expert I want to be in the safe side, that every other server gets the new information, that the new channel is the new master. Maybe the delay is not necessary.

I hope this helps.

No guarantee that this will solve your problem, but it is worth a try:

- try importing the channels with this procedure:
-- on the new hub "Create New -> Import an existing channel from another location".

On a feedback if it worked or if you already tried this, I would be happy. S. also screenshot #^https://realtime.fyi/cloud/nmoplus/2021-11/import.png

There is a bug when the channels don't have the same name. It's corrected in the next release.
