Do not use this plugin for migrating images from the Squarespace export file (XML) What happens is it copies everything to WordPress in multiple copies of the same images. Understandable because Squarespace has no media library and images are uploaded as per instance needed, (gallery, page, product, post etc.) however if you delete any of the excessive copies the single image left will not be viewable and will show only as a blank.

You probably dont know what this plugin is supposed to do, which is why you are giving it a rating of 1/5. With a default WordPress setup, this thing works wonders. For a plugin that was last updated 2 years ago since the time of this review, this plugin is a piece of art! Currently still works on WordPress 5.6 with PHP7.4 like a charm. God sent!

If you're not going to develop this play again and keep up with the latest WP updates you might as well take it off-line. Please remove it's or create an update and fix issues people are having it saves a lot of people a lot of time.
