Finding the new URL and the new file path
-
I would really, really appreciate if someone couple weigh in and help me with this issue. I say in advance that I am a beginner, so you will have to speak to me as if you were speaking to a horse. And not the intelligent Narnia kind. Please excuse the length.
BACKGROUND
I have a live site at https://www.brianzulbertiesq.info. I want to completely revamp it while still keeping it live, so I wanted to migrate it onto my local server for development, the idea being that I’ll get it how I want it and then upload it back onto the live server with no server downtime.
I have been doing this by following a help video from Mor10. The video can be found at https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-migrate-db/.
I have gotten to the point where I have the plugin installed on both the local and remote versions of WordPress. Because I am transferring from the remote to the local, the next step is logging onto the remote plugin’s interface and inserting the new URL and the new file path.
I initially found that information by installing the plugin on my local WordPress. It just came right up on the Migrate DB plugin area on the dashboard. I copy pasted it over to the remote Migrate DB plugin under replace. Then I deleted all of the local database tables on my local server so that I could import the new ones. Unfortunately, my computer accidentally rebooted before I could perform the export. Because I had deleted all of the local database files, I was unable to run WordPress, open the plugin on the dashboard, and check the new file path and new destination that I had previously copy-pasted over.
I am pretty sure the new file path is “//localhost:8889” but I don’t know if that is it for certain. As for the new file path, I have no idea what to put into that input field or how to find it. I need someone to coach me on how to get these two items.
Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.
