I'm trying to move a Wordpress installation in a web hosting to a localhost installation for development. I followed this tutorial (Section Manually Move a Live WordPress Site to Local Server, for now I'm not allowed to install plugins, so I must do it manually). I'm using MAMP Free edition and followed all the steps in the aforementioned tutorial. But when I tried to open the site in the local installation I got the message (In Safari): Safari cannot open …
I'm using docker and docker compose to install WordPress on my localhost and everything is working fine however i'm having problems when uploading new media and installing themes, new plugins e.t.c. The message "Could not create directory" appears when i want to install a new plugin. With extensive research i have tried many options to fix the file/folder permissions, even with a chmod 777 and still with no success. My docker compose file is: wordpress: container_name: testing image: wordpress environment: …

I'm running a localhost server with WordPress 4.3.1 I've modified both relevant settings in the the site's php.ini as: upload_max_filesize = 64M post_max_size = 64M However, I'm still getting the message when trying to upload a plugin that's 2.5M The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini. Also, when I go to "Media > Add New", I get the message: …
Basically, I am using localhost through XAMPP, it has been 2 weeks since I started and and I had to reinstall XAMPP because I was having problems with ports. And now, I just started remaking my website again, using the port '3000' for apache and everything seemed to work fine until I can't even see the changed I have made from the wordpress dashboard or by just writing the domain name in the search bar, what is weird is that, …
I've got mamp working but can't access my site. I created the DB cheaptubes_com, a user and I successfully imported the DB. I have a copy of information_schema DB but can't find how to import it and I read that I can't import it. I've tried going to localhost, localhost/cheaptubes.com/wp-login.php, localhost:8888 & localhost:80 and other variations. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but all I get is a blank install but it knows the site name.
Total newbie here. I'm a pretty good user of applications, but have never written a single line of code. Installed XAMPP and WP, purchased a template from Envato and plan on working on it over the weekend. Followed instructions for both WP and XAMPP, and all seems to be fine. Running solely on local machine, MAC running Mojave. Go to install the .zip file on WP, and it asks for credentials for FTP. Not sure what I need to put …
I would like to run an add_action in functions.php only if the theme is being loaded from my localhost development site. How would I get this to run only on localhost? function livereload(){ ?> // mycode <?php } add_action('headway_body_close', 'livereload');
I'm a bit stuck here. My Mac (running Mavericks) died on me last week, and I spent the weekend getting a new computer and restoring the backup of my old (thank God for backups people. If you haven't made one, go do it.) The new computer runs Yosemite. I had a pretty great system set up on my old computer that I was REALLY happy with for running local installs of WordPress via a single installation without using WPMU. I …
I set up a local environment to customize a friend's WP blog. However almost none of the images are being displayed. The remote site's URL is http://sitename.com and my local virtual host is http://sitename.dev. I have found a couple different cases when the images are not displayed: The src URL looks like this: http://i1.wp.com/sitename.com/wp-content/uploads/xxxxxx and opening this link on the browser shows the image correctly. However there's a srcset attribute with the URL http://i1.wp.com/sitename.dev/wp-content/uploads/xxxxxx and that causes a 504 HTML …
I have a live instance of wordpress which I'm attempting to spin up on my local machine using xampp. A brief summary of steps to where I'm currently at: configured xampp to use a custom port (8012) downloaded the latest files and database added the entire public_html file to my new directory ('support') within xampp: C:\xampp\htdocs\support Modified all instances of the live URL to my localhost URL localhost:8012/support in the database Uploaded the database to phpmyadmin updated the wp-config with …
I am a newbie who recently start working on XAMPP and I am unable to access wp-admin on XAMPP server localhost. While installing WordPress, it asked me for user name and password too but when I am trying to access wp-admin with username and password, it says "INVALID USER NAME". As far as I know, I am putting the correct username and password here. Please suggest how to login back and where will I get the correct user details. Thanks
First off, I'm a WordPress noob, so I apologize if there is an easy solution. I'm trying to get a live website working on my local MAMP environment. I've successfully cloned the git repo into the htdocs directory in MAMP. I also also created a database within phpmyadmin called 'landing'. Once the database was created, I imported a fresh copy of the production site's database. After the database was set up, I renamed the wp-config-example.php file to wp-config.php and added …
I installed WordPress on localhost using MAMP many times without a problem. Today WordPress froze halfway through a fresh local install and I don't know why. Thinking something was out of a date, I updated: MAMP to version 4.2 PHP to v7.1 After updating MAMP, I upgraded MySQL (prompted by MAMP after upgrade) WordPress v4.9.1 Double-checked database name spelling matches name in ~/sites directory. Apache Port 80, tried SQL at 3306 and 8889. From here, trying the WP install and …
So I have a form that allows the user to select a city. Once selected, this city is then saved to a $_SESSION variable as such : $_SESSION['city_selected'] = $_POST['location_select']; This works fine once selected. When I var_dump($_SESSION); I see my variable perfectly on after selecting the city and the page refreshing. Then, if I move to a different page or refresh the same page - the var_dump(); returns NULL I can't seem to figure this out. My PHP session …
I've made a flexible content section in ACF for a specific category that allows the user to post text and different image galleries onto their post. This all works perfectly whilst I'm on my localhost but now I've uploaded the site none of the content is showing. My code is quite messy but the code in my single.php is below and this is the link to a live post https://www.exoticsoftware.co.uk/2021/12/01/pendas-fen/, the only things that show on the page are the …
sorry for the elementary question. When I'm building a local site on Wordpress, should I be storing my images in an "img" folder and then using CSS "background-image" to show these photos? That way, when I go live, the image root address won't change. As it stands, I am just uploading each photos and inserting it directly into the post, then styling it with CSS when need be. However, this means I'm getting big, clunky roots that will have to …
I'm currently using Bitnami WordPress on Mac OS, to develop locally my new website, before uploading to the live server. I'd like to copy the work-in-progress WP website from one Mac to another. I thought that it was simple as copying the WordPress folder found in Applications, but it doesn't work. How should I proceed to copy the entire WP website from one Mac to the other?
This is the code I have for my content.php page and it works completely fine on my local host, showing all the posts but now I've made the site live, only the most recent post shows, and it also now doesn't show the author and date which was also working before. Can anyone help me solve this? I'm thinking I might not have the loop right but I can't find a solution " > <?php exotic_post_thumbnail(); ?> <div class="entry-header"> <div …
I have installed the latest WordPress on my EC2 Ubuntu 13.1 server. Once I have changed the permalink to use /%post-name%/, I encounter 404 not found for posts. I have followed almost everything here in this article (Page Not Found - Permalink WordPress — FelfelWorld.com), but still having the issue. FYI, I remember I did disable the directory listing for my apache server using SELinux (if I remember it correctly)
