I’m having the same issue. Any news?

I’ve tried that. It didn’t work before, but its working now. Thanks. I tried that multiple times and cleared the cache multiple times. Ultimately I think it was W3cache that was messing it up. thx

Thanks! That was dumb of me. I didn’t realize that I left off the
<?php wp_footer(); ?>

LibbyMak maker sure that the <?php wp_footer(); ?> function is right before the </body>.

never mind I figurd it out.

I’ve tried that and now i’m just going to have someone else fix it for me. thx

Thanks I think your post will be really helpful.

So, I inserted this into the body of page that I created. I selected that custom page for the blog page.
https://www.utahlibertylaw.com/blog/

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

I then went to Settings > Reading and selected “Blog” from the drop down list for “Post page:”

I then created a post but nothing displayed on this page.

https://www.utahlibertylaw.com/blog/

Instead I got this page at and the funny thing is that the page main nav is missing and of course the layout is all foobared. So, it must be pulling another page to display the blog.

Here is what I’m really trying to get (you have to click on the images to see the real desired layouts)

and this

thanks for any help.

I’ve read that post but still have some problems.

Well, I’m now working on being able to login because I’m having issues resetting the password.

I downloaded them from from online hosting using phpmyadmin

Does it matter what the username and password are in the wp-config file?

What should they be there if I change the password using phpmyadmin?

I can get to this page now to login

https://localhost/wp-login.php

but I can’t reset it. I did try that first link and followed the instructions multiple times.

When I try to go here https://localhost/wp-admin/install.php it tells me

Already Installed

You appear to have already installed WordPress. To reinstall please clear your old database tables first.

It gives me the link to login, but I don’t know the password and trying to reset it has failed multiple times.

It is installed in the www folder of wamp.

Yeah I tried that, but then it wanted a username and password. I followed the instructions multiple times on codex (https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Resetting_Your_Password) and still couldn’t get it to let me in.

Whether I attempt to login or reset via email I get this message

Not Found

The requested URL /wp-admin/wp-login.php was not found on this server.

If I create a new database and change the wp-config file then I get the this screen,

“Welcome to the famous five minute WordPress installation process! You may want to browse the ReadMe documentation at your leisure. Otherwise, just fill in the information below and you’ll be on your way to using the most extendable and powerful personal publishing platform in the world.”

However, I need to access this old database to retrieve some posts.

I think that I may have an easier solution. Tell me if I’m wrong, but what I think I can do is put up the old site on my local host and then export the file from the wordpress dashboard on my local host so that I can just import that file on the new, live dashboard. However, I have a problem now. I have WAMP installed, I’ve created the database in phpmyadmin, but for some reason I can’t link the site to the database. Whenever I go to the url I just get a list of all the wp folders. This would probably be a little bit easier for me if the person who originally built the site didn’t put the wp install in a subfolder. It’s in WebsiteFolder/blog/files for wordpress install.

So, to get it running locally then import it is the simplest idea or at least I think. What do you think and any pointers on getting this running locally?

I tried using the wordpress importer. The site hosting has already been transferred so I can’t login to the old wordpress site and export it.
