Thank you for your help anyway. Maybe I’ll try localwp in the morning. Too frustrated and tired at this point. Thanks again.

No, that didn’t work. I don’t know if I did it correctly since there’s very little direction as to where in the config file to add it. All it did was bring up my new site with a 404 error.

I dropped all the files in the database and did another import. Have the same 37 wp_ files. I tried to go to localhost/site_folder_name/wp-admin/index.php. I get an error that says, “The requested resource could not be found but may be available again in the future.” The address file is now https://my-current-website-name/wp-admin/upgrade.php?_wp_http_referer=%2Fsh%2Fwp-admin%2Findex.php. Is this where I’m getting eveything wrong?

When I created the database after installing xampp, I did not put any user/password in. When I edited the wp_config.php file, I put in the new database name, put user as root, and left the password blank. Do I need to update that file with my username/password from my old file? The u & p that I would use to log into the site?

I have one table for posts wp_posts. All of my tables begin with wp_. These are tables within the new database I created after installing xampp.

I’m not exactly sure what you mean, but I have 37 tables in my database that were imported from my backup. None are duplicates.

Steven,
Thank you for your reply. Yes, the $table_prefix value is wp_ in the wp-config.php file.
