Instant wordpress logging in to original hosting.

Upon reading, I myself couldn’t understand the problem.

Actually, in the Instant wordpress, when I try to log in with
Username : admin
Password : password

It shows me an error.

And,
When I log in with
Username : admin
Password : (one with original site hosting)

It logs me in original wordpress site, and not in Localhost.
Username is same for both. Instant wp and original wp.

I want to use the Instant wp for my trial work, but how can I log into it?

I suggest doing a fresh install of wordpress on your local machine and not importing the sql from your live site.

If you must import the sql, you are going to have to do a search and replace for the url of the live site and change it to your local address.

And if you are using a clone of the database, then the username and password should be the same, make sure you have identical salts in your wp-config.php.

Thanks for your time.

I have tried re-installing, it actually works well before importing.
But, I want to test the current site, and add new plugins/modify theme in my local computer.

Do not I have to import .sql file?

I just made up a backup file of the active database from my Godaddy account, and as it goes I created a blank database and imported that .sql fine into it.
It worked fine. Site opens on localhost when I view wordpress frontpage, but.. it does not log me into local wordpress.

My motive is to migrate a current website, with a number of plugins to my local computer.
Its associated data base has a lot of tables for plugins, if I do not import that sql, it just don’t show the site correctly.

What should I do to achieve what I am trying to.

It’s redirecting you because it still has your original url in the database, like I said before, you are going to have to do a search and replace.

INSERT INTO wp_client_images VALUES (21,17,’https://violethive.com/wp-content/themes/violethive/client/images/Screen Shot 2012-08-29 at 4.21.01 A’,1,’technology’),
(19,14,’https://violethive.com/wp-content/themes/violethive/client/images/microhit.JPG’,1,’technology’),(20,14,’https://violethive.com/wp-content/themes/violethive/client/images/micr.JPG’,1,’technology’),

I opened the .sql file in Notepad++, and on searching for violethive.com(original site name), it brought 610 entries related.

Should I change this address to my local themes folder?

I don’t know what is it going.

I have installed Instant wp in a new folder on the desktop.
I didn’t do any import of theme/plugins/sql, but this copy is also showing the wordpress login screen to my original domain.
It is showing a log of original site, over the login window.

Hi,

Thanks for all the help.

But, I left that work, and re-installed Instant wp to new folder.
Now, upto this point I have imported:
1. Theme (by copying it in the instant wp-content folder)
2. Posts (by export/import in wp)

And, not to run in the same problem again, I would appreciate your details about how should I import my database of the original site?

The site has a number of plugins installed, I want them to be included and working in offline local site also.

I know need to import database, without it is showing the error ::

[
atal error: Call to undefined function shailan_dropdown_menu() in C:\Users\mahavir\Desktop\VijethPurli\iwpserver\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\themes\violethive\header.php on line 191
]

Please, help on the matter.

Hi,

Please help.

I need to get it on my local wordpress.

I am just confused with what to change is .sql file.

<title>Business Hive</title>
	<link>https://violethive.com</link>
	<description></description>
	<pubDate>Sat, 15 Sep 2012 19:14:53 +0000</pubDate>
	<language>en-US</language>
	<wp:wxr_version>1.2</wp:wxr_version>
	<wp:base_site_url>https://violethive.com</wp:base_site_url>
	<wp:base_blog_url>https://violethive.com</wp:base_blog_url>

The .sql file have about 600 entries involving the “violethive.com”..
which ones to change and which ones not?
Any help on this matter?

I got the Theme and Post visible in https://127.0.0.1:4001/wordpress/,

But, the plugins(like slider in the header) and Images of the posts are not showing.

Are they in .sql file?

I have changed its status to “Resolved”.

I think I was asking wrong question.
Thanks for all help.
