upload wordpresss in Xampp to remote server

  • This might be a stupid question – but I’m pretty new so please bear with me ??

    I’m almost finished with my site and have been googling around for information about how to best get your local Xampp wordpress installation (with wp e-commerce) up and running on a remote server.

    I found this tutorial.

    I haven’t tried it yet (still busy with my wp site) but one thing that caught my attention is the fact that all my assets on my local site is referenced as ‘localhost’. Every image and propably every link. The guy explains of how to change your database referencing. But what about the rest?

    Will that be a problem and if so, how do I fix it. A lot of people seem to be working on Xampp locally so I guess the uploading should’nt be a problem… but the referencing of assets propably will be.

    Or am I wrong? [Hope I’m making sense]

    Thanks for checking this out!

  • If you have hard coded the URL to your files (which I doubt you did) instead of making use of template tags provided by WordPress then, that will need to be changed when you transfer it to a live website.

    As for the data saved in the database that you are about to export and import to a live website, WordPress have some good advice on Moving WordPress to another server. In the same link, you can find the Additional Information. I’d recommend that you take a look at the link that says “How to move WordPress to a new domain or location”. That’s how you edit the links in posts, pages, etc. that was saved in you database.
