Hi Jags,

The attachment location preview looks like a url, you need to change the Download field to "Remote URL" instead of "Media Library" (Media library suggests that the location is a filename that already exists in the media library).

This custom meta record sounds unique to your theme, you can create custom fields such as this by adding a new row under the custom fields section, setting the name to 'image_to_attach' and changing the field type to attachmet, return value to "Attachment id - multiple records", and setting the value to {MEDIA_IMAGE_00}, or where ever your attachments are coming from, and setting the correct "download" type, e.g. remote url.

Thanks, I overcome this issue by creating every custom field in Import WP that was created in SQL after pressing Update button.

Now it Works perfectly.

Thanks
