 All media assets use absolute URLs when exporting WordPress content,
 including the domain name and port if present.

 When importing the content on a new WordPress installation located at a
 different domain or port, page/post media fail to render since they point
 to the previous domain/port.

 The hard-coded links require post-processing the XML file for the content
 to be portable across domains and environments (e.g., development,
 staging, and production).

 Ideally, media URLs in the export file would be relative to the WordPress
 root, such as described in the following issue from 11 years ago:
