Importing site locally

  • I installed wordpress on my remote site. Then I modified it. Then I decided to make farther modification in a local site.
    So I’v done the following:
    1. Copied the whole “tree” of wordpress to my local WAMP root folder
    2. Backed up my MySql in the remote site and restored in local site.

    Everything seemed OK but problem is that wp-admin and also all the links in the local site take me to the remote site…
    Can someone help please?
    Regards
    I. Lesher

  • Try reviewing Moving_WordPress.

    you need to change the website links that are stored in the database. look into the table ‘wp_options’ and search for your remote site address and this will hopefully bring out 2 or 3 rows out of the said table. edit them carefully.
    and this will work if you edited it right.

    Change ‘home’ and ‘site_url’ fields in wp-options table to your local path will solve your problem !

    Cheers!!
