This is what finally worked for me:

?– *Try a Different Method*: If the above steps don’t resolve the issue, try installing plugins manually. Download the plugin files from www.ads-software.com or the plugin developer’s website, unzip them, and upload the plugin folder to the wp-content/plugins directory on your localhost WordPress installation.

Thank you for your help.

Hi there,

thank you for your help.

I’ve followed your instructions. But now I get the error message “Installation failed: Could not create directory.”.

This is the end section of my wp-config.php:

define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', true);
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );

/* Add any custom values between this line and the "stop editing" line. */

define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');

/* That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */

/** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
define( 'ABSPATH', DIR . '/' );
}

/** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
require_once ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php';

I’m wondering why my WordPress has not created a debug.log file. In my wp-content folder I only have a debug text document, but this doesn’t get updated nor does it include error messages.

I have no clue where to go from here and how to fix this issue.

I’ve fixed it. In phpmyadmin I deleted the password value in the ‘user_pass’ field and replaced it basically with the same password.

BUT under the ‘Function’ column, I selected ‘MD5’ from the drop-down menu and then it worked.

I’m not a developper, but maybe it was just that the MD5 setting was not correct, IDK.

Now, I can enjoy my blog again from the outside AND inside.

Thank you for your assistance on this matter.

CORRECTION:

It was the SiteGround security plugin causing the issue. I forgot that I deactivated the security plugins while trying to fix the problem. After reactivating SGS the issue reappeared.

Hello,

I did it. First installed WordPress from www.ads-software.com to get a basic WP site.

Then used the restore function from Updraft Plus (dowloading the six back up files from my Google Drive to my desktop and uploading all of them to my localhost site.

From the outside everything looks nice and works, but still I can’t enter my new “house” (WP dashboard). And that’s frustrating.

Hello,

I’ve enabled debug mode and set up error logs. Here’s what’s listed in my debug.log.

Hello,

no it’s a simple blog site.

In the meantime I’ve changed my theme (Divi) back to default (twentytwentyfour) following the instructions of this post

https://help.one.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005585909-Change-your-WordPress-theme-from-the-database#step-2

But after logging in I keep on getting this error message under https://localhost/soundsandcolors/wp-admin/

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function get_network() in C:\xampp\htdocs\soundsandcolors\wp-admin\admin-header.php:43 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\soundsandcolors\wp-admin\index.php(137): require_once() #1 {main} thrown in C:\xampp\htdocs\soundsandcolors\wp-admin\admin-header.php on line 43

There has been a critical error on this website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.

Thank you for your quick reply.

I’ve followed your instructions:

“Rename the?wp-content / plugins?folder and the folder for the theme you are using to revert to the default theme.”

But then I got a password error (I didn’t change my password).

I went to www.ads-software.com and followed the instructions for resetting passwords through phpMyAdmin.

Reset Your Password

But then this error message appeared:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function get_network() in C:\xampp\htdocs\soundsandcolors\wp-admin\admin-header.php:43 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\soundsandcolors\wp-admin\index.php(137): require_once() #1 {main} thrown in?C:\xampp\htdocs\soundsandcolors\wp-admin\admin-header.php?on line?43

Where do I go from here …

The reason for this issue could be Updraft itself (I’m using the most current version).

When running Restore UpdraftPlus Restoration is giving a warning that is not correct:

“The site in this backup was running on a webserver with version 7.4 of PHP. This is older than the server which you are now restoring onto (version 8.2.12).”

Both – my remote host (SiteGround) and my localhost are running on PHP 8.2.12.

In the meantime I’ve made another migration.

This time I used Updraft Plus Lite. It went faster and much smoother than with Duplicator Pro.

With Duplicator the images on my home page were not rendered. Updraft did it.

However, still I can’t load the WP Admin page. The page exists (I checked it). All other pages and posts are working fine.

All possible fixes I’ve found so far on the web are not working for me. I will not give up to find the culprit ??

Still hoping somebody here in the forum can give me the crucial tip.

Just tried it again. Now the wp-login page shows up, but after entering my login credentials I once again get this error message:

Hello George,

thank you for you reply.

Yes, the wp-login.php is in the root.

Hello Maybellyne,

thank you for your help on this.

I just submitted my site’s favicon URL to Bing with Bing Webmaster Tools. I don’t know if this will fix the issue. At least IMO it’s worth a try.

In the meantime I tried to find out how to add a (favicon) URL to my sitemap (since this is not automatically done by Yoast’s SEO WP plugin). I understand, that I have to code the URL. This is what I have learned to far ??

https://soundsandcolors.de/favicon.ico

Do I need to add an additional tag? If so which one? And, can I just add that code snippet at the end of my index file?

https://soundsandcolors.de/sitemap_index.xml

Once again, many thanks for your assistance on this ??

Cheers

Stefan
