First some background information.
I have an old website (not wordpress) => https://www.carnaval-radio.nl from now on, I will call this old.
I have a new website (in wordpress) => https://carnaval.bynick.nl from now on, I will call this new.
I have imported all posts of the old website through an RSS feed into my new website. The links to all the images inside those posts remain linking to the old website.
- The images on the old website are served trough an axd file

(So I can’t just change the path everywhere)
Is there some kind of plugin that let’s me download all the images, replace all the links in all posts, and serve those images trough my new website? Or are there perhaps other ways to do this?

Method 1
There are plugins that do this, e.g. Auto Upload Images (found in this article). I haven’t tried it myself to recommend it.
You’re migrating from BlogEngine.NET. There is also an old BlogML importer plugin to migrate directly from BlogEngine.NET (which produces BlogML exports), but the copy in the main WordPress directory hasn’t been updated in years and is no longer available to download. There is a fixed up version here: http://spacefold.com/colin/morethanfour/2020/08/06/migrating-from-blogengine/ however the process does also require manually fixing up image paths.
