Hi,

Does anyone have tips for the following?

Situation:  
WordPress website 7000 posts on shared hosting, migration to a VPS with Ghost in a docker container. (result will probably the largest Dutch Ghost-blog so far). The official Ghost WordPress export plugin is not an option for a site of this size. The TryGhost/migrate script works with the WordPress xml.

The script scrapes the content and generates a zip.  
That zipfiles contains a json which i can import to Ghost, and a lot of folders for images.

Now I noticed that the migrate script does not rewrite image URLs to a Ghost format, but remains in the WordPress format (ex. /wp-content/uploads/2023/12/)

And in the zip there is a folder structure for images, and each with more subfolders  
-content  
–files  
–images  
–media

Now the interesting part is content\images\wp-content\upload\ which appears to have all the required images. So a simple upload would keep all my images alive when switching to Ghost.

Question: The files in the folder seem to have an original\_filename.jpg and a copy original\_filename\_o.jpg.  
**Anyone knows where this second image is for?**

`original_filename_o.jpg` is the original image, and `original_filename.jpg` is the optimized image.

Ah, great.  
Well deleting half of them saves a bit of space. (On top of all the different wordpress images sizes). Yay
