Get content from one Wordpress website to another

Question

I have been at this for days and now feel like I am way off track out of desperation and lack of knowledge. Pretty much I am trying to "scrape" public info from one Wordpress install to a separate Wordpress site. The sites are on different domains, servers and databases. Site A (the one I need to grab the content from) uses an RSS Feed which I have been able to successfully pick up. However each post contains an image ( i dont know if it is featured or not) and I really need to know how to get that image to display.

At first I ran my own loop and was picking up everything aside from the image, then I tried just setting up Simplepie in the theme and still could not get the images to pick up. Then I was trying a method described on here about XMLRPC and still no luck. I am about to pull my hair out and I just dont have enough knowledgebase on the subject to get what I need done.

How can I get the feed and image to display from Site A to Site B? I have read so much stuff I feel like I am so lost. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

EDIT

Here is what I have been using which works as far as picking up the feed but not images

    <?php function custom_dashboard_feed() {  

    $feed = fetch_feed( 'http://mugshots.starnewsonline.com/feed' );

if ( ! is_wp_error( $feed) ):

// Get a maximum of 5 items

$maxitems = $feed->get_item_quantity( 5 );

$items = $feed->get_items( 0, $maxitems );

foreach ( $items as $item ):

?>

<p class="rss-widget">

<a href="<?php echo $item->get_permalink(); ?>"><?php echo $item->get_title(); ?></a> <span class="rss-date"><?php echo $item->get_date( 'F j, Y' ); ?></span><br />


<?php if (has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) ): ?>
<?php $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'single-post-thumbnail' ); ?>
<img src="<?php echo $item->get_image_url ?>" height="200" width="200" />

</div>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php echo $item->get_description(); ?>

</p>

<?php

endforeach;

else: // Returned WP_Error, unable to fetch the feed. ?>

<p>There was an error fetching the feed, please try again later</p>

<?php endif; ?>


<?php
} ?>

<?php $mugshots = custom_dashboard_feed(); echo $mugshots; ?>

If you have access to the old WordPress site go into the admin section then > Tools > Export. Where it says Choose what to export check All content, and click Download Export file.

In the new WordPress site go into the admin section > Tools > Import > choose WordPress form the list (it may require you to install the plugin). You can now upload the file form the old WordPress site, and all the content can be ported including images!
