WP CLI could not create temporary file for media import

Hello,

After having downloaded a lot of images in the uploads folder without using the export/import function from Wordpress or any plugin, I would like to load them in the website.

For this, I wan’t to use WP CLI and the “media import” function. It doesn’t work with Local, because I get an error.

  • I’m opening the shell
  • I open the relevant folder : C:\Users\me\Local Sites\5by5\app\public>cd wp-content\uploads\
  • I type the command: “wp media import 2022” to import everything in this folder, and I get the following message “Error: Could not create temporary file for 2022”.

I tried to open Local as an administrator, but it doesn’t work.

–
I’m running these tests on Local 6.7.0, under Windows 11.
The logs are not useful because nothing related to WP CLI appears.

Hi @moodacow

Could you send a screenshot of your shell and the command/errors?

I know nothing related to WPCLI may be in your log but it still could provide us some clues. Would you mind sharing that as well? Retrieving Local’s Log File
