I want to pull images from an old site into posts using an ID that is in the import from the posts. I set up a new type (Images) and imported the images (jpgs) and their data (in the database). I also set up a many to many relationship betweent the post type and the images type. But when I went to work on the template for my Posts, which are also imported and have a field for the ID fpr the images, I couldn't figure out how to draw on a different tool type to get the data (the image url associated with the ID and its title and caption) to appear. I used WP All Import and reviewed those settings, too, thinking the two types could be associated there, but didn't get any result.

Looking forward to your help.

Thanks,
Charmaine

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

As I understand you have old site X with posts having images (multiple images) per post, so images will be a repeating field (multiple instance) and now you have new site Y with same posts and you want to import images from old site to new site.
