(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-01-23)

I'm migrating some posts from Wordpress, and the posts on Wordpress have the images within a rich text field.

I need to reference the image separately to the rest of the rich text field - below the image there is usually one or two lines of text.

Is there any way I can either:

a. Reference the image in my Twig separately to the rest of the rich text field, or

b. Somehow split the rich text field so that the image url becomes an asset within Craft.

I'm using Feed Me to import the data into Craft and WP All Export to export the data out of Wordpress.

Thanks!
