    Hi everyone!

    So i have this little problem: i’ve made a localhost website, but i don’t know which files and how to copy them and put them on another computer so i can work on that localhost with my original site.

    Hope you can understand my explanation (my english is not that good) ??

    Thanks for helping me!

  • The same steps will apply as if you were moving to a different server. If you used “localhost” in your WordPress addresses during the original installation on your current machine, it may actually work to your benefit if you’re just moving to a local environment on another machine.

    Some reference material that should help:

    WordPress Backups

    Moving WordPress

    Understanding how to export/backup and import/restore your database successfully might be a helpful point of focus before you make the move.

    I don’t really understand what I have to do ?
    Do I have to copy my wordpress files and make a backup of my database or …. is there another possibility ? :/

    Sorry this is the first time I’m using WordPress and it’s the first time i have to do this backup and restore thing.

    -edit- If I access that phpmyadmin thing, I see that I haven’t even made a database…
    Could you please help me out ?

    So i have this little problem: i’ve made a localhost website…
    ….I see that I haven’t even made a database

    How did you install WordPress when you made the localhost website?

    I don’t know…
    I watched a video on youtube and when I acces https://localhost:82/phpmyadmin
    it doesn’t show me any database of my localhost website :/

    Please don’t tell me I have to start over again.

    -edit- In C-wamp-www-mysitename I have all the wp-content and wp-config stuff there but now that I want to move the site I don’t see a database in phpmyadmin.

    I’m sorry. I’m not familiar enough with Wampserver or phpMyAdmin installations that have been installed locally using non-standard ports to offer any helpful suggestions.

    If you have a working WordPress site, then it has a database. You will need to take another look at that YouTube video you followed and try to figure out exactly what its name is and how to find it.

    I’m working with WAMP. So basically you installed wordpress in localhost, you’re using WAMP to manage your files. When you go to your browser and put: https://localhost/phpmyadmin/ it’s going to show you all the DB (database) that where made locally.

    When you go to wp-config.php in C://wamp/www/yoursite/wp-config.php and edit it, it will show your database name. Did i helped you to understand the part related to the database?

    And you will only have to do what @claytonjames said ??

    But that’s the point, I have my database name there, in this case it’s additech but I doesn’t show up on the phpmyadmin :/
    I can’t even make one, it says: no rights.

    To login on my wordpress site i use localhost:82, may this be the problem ?

    And it’s weird because I don’t have to start the wampserver to access my localhost website, if I just type https://localhost:82/wordpress/wp-admin/index.php I can access my site.

    That’s strange …

    You have a way to see your database but if you want to exporte them you have to use the phpmyadmin.. Maybe, just maybe you need to change the port in wamp..Check this:
    https://weaver-tube.blogspot.pt/2014/04/how-to-change-default-port-80-of-wamp.html

    About the rights, probably you need to create a user and a password in the phpmyadmin
