Question:
I want to remake my Wix Editor site in Wix Studio and want make sure that photos are transferred as well
Product:
Wix Studio, Wix Editor, using CMS, Repeaters, dynamic pages.
What are you trying to achieve:
I want to make sure that the photos in the Editor CMS migrate to Studio CMS and are saved in the Studio media files.
What have you already tried:
I have downloaded the CMS in Editor and uploaded to Studio. I see the photos in Studio. Does this mean that those photos are now saved in the new Studio site and I will not loose them when the Editor site is terminated?
Additional information:
I have also saved the Editor photos to boards that are visible on the Studio site. I guess they will not be visible when the Editor site is terminated?
Thanks for any head-ups.
Regards Alan.

Unfortunately, you cannot transfer the images over to your new media folder in Wix Studio from Classic. When you copy the CMS it simply linking to the images uploaded by the previous Classic site. I do not believe that even if you delete your site that the images will unlink to the correct media files. I would suggest doing a test of uploading an image on a new site and copying the image URL. Then “permanently” delete that image and try to go back to the image URL. You will see that the image is still in the Wix cloud and can be viewed by the URL. All media is stored in Wix and not directly with the site. Depending on the amount of media, I may suggest downloading the media from the old site and reuploading to the new media folder. This way you have on-hand access of the files and can change the images in the CMS over time. To be on the safe side, you can always just keep the Classic site in your sites and just not have a premium plan. Hope this helps answer what I’ve found to be the case so far.
