Cover image and description not include in post data | Wordpress

Hi

Cover image and description not include in post data when import from Wordpress.

@njfamirm I noticed this too - are you on a .org installation?

I'm not sure about description but a standard WP.org installation doesn't seem to have the feature image in the API JSON. If you add Jetpack it may pick it up since Jetpack is in the code for WP.com, but since I don't use JP and favour Yoast (which does show image URL) I had to do some work-arounds.

@zachleat I added this Yoast addition to the import plugin to test (obviously if I update it will overwrite it, so it would need to be merged into the code properly), but it might help if people have Yoast installed:

if(rawEntry.jetpack_featured_media_url || rawEntry.og_image || rawEntry.yoast_head_json.og_image) {
	let media = {};
	if(rawEntry.og_image) {
		media.opengraphImage = rawEntry.og_image?.url;
	}
	if(rawEntry.jetpack_featured_media_url) {
		media.featuredImage = rawEntry.jetpack_featured_media_url;

		// backwards compatibility (not downloaded or optimized)
		metadata.featuredImage = rawEntry.jetpack_featured_media_url;
	}
	if(rawEntry.yoast_head_json.og_image) {
		media.featuredImage = rawEntry.yoast_head_json.og_image[0]?.url;
	}			
	metadata.media = media;
}

Hey, I'm tweaking the eleventy-import source for local testing. I'm adding _embed=wp:featuredmedia to the WordPress API call to get featured images, and then grabbing the link with RAW_API._embedded['wp:featuredmedia'][0].link.
