    So I managed to connect to the DB using the fix i found on this forum about the capital “L” in localhost, but now I have another issue, and i think it might be with the way wordpress does the scripts.

    ALL of the links actually being me to the real website. As ifthey are hard coded in there and not using the tep_href

    Any suggestions as to why this is happening??

    Also, wheny ou have wordpress up on a localhost, can you make changes via ADMIN and save them and expect them to show?? Just curious.

    Are you using a dump of the database from your real website? If so, then you will need to make some changes to the url’s in the db. See the following video for details and just use your XAMPP web address as the address for the site you are moving to.

    yes, i downloaded the backup of the complete database and imported it to phpmyadmin under the db name that I have set in the config.

    Iwill watch that video.. THANKS

    Okay, then you will need to change the url’s in the sql file like I demonstrate in the video.

    ok. I did that but now i have a NEW problem/

    When i view the site, you can not see ANY of the theme/css of it now.. I’m new to wordpress, but i’m assuming theres some type of file naming file that will tell the wordpress install which theme to look for and where to look for it???

    It is also still showing that the content is not found.. Even though the database is showing all the posts and comments in my phpmyadmin

    Ok.. I got the style sheet back.. it was my mistake. I replaced it with localhost, but not the sub folder localhost/blogname

    My issue now is that the links are STILL not working..i click on “about” and it says

    “not found on this server”
