Hello Steve

can you check the media path in the wp-config file
I am not sure but it might be one of the reason

you need to follow the steps from the following article to resolve it

Also I advise you to take the backup of the database before doing any tricks ;)

You need to change the path. Use Search and replace plugin to replace the paths inside the posts.


Navjot Singh comments:

Ah. Sorry. Misread. Did you use the import attachments command at the new blog? It automatically grabs all the images and associates them.
