The first sentence should have read: “Have configured W3TotalCache to work with my chosen CDN”

Hi community

Just to clarify as where to put this fix. Do I place this in

/public_html/wp-content/plugins/simple-social-icons/.htaccess
(which I notice does not exist yet)
or

/public_html/.htaccess. ( which in fact I have done.)

I am still getting this issue in FF and I am trying to isolate a caching issue.

Hi

I hear your frustration.

1) try IE
2) confirm nothing else is running on port 80 … sometimes Skype does. I made the initial mistake of installing XAMPP and Apache on the same server. A marriage made in hell!

ALso go to the XAMPP Control panel and ensure you have apache + mysql running ..

3) are your wordpress files in the default c:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress

Remember to isolate the issue. If apache is not running then forget wordpress so that is first point in your test.

Hi

I think I am nearly there following these steps:

1) ftp copy of blog files from remote site
2) import SQL backup into my local db
3) run WordPress db Search and Replace Tool

That is, I can see an exact copy of my remote blog home page: posts, tweets etc when I go to my local home url

https://localhost/myblog.biz

Also, I can see that when I mouse over each of my posts the correct local link is set correctly to
https://localhost/myblog.biz/my-category/title-of-post

However, looks can be deceiving ?? as when I actually click on any of the posts I am redirected immediately to
https://localhost/XAMPP and so not viewing any of my prosaic text….. ouch!!!!

Any thoughts anyone in the community. I will try and enable wordpress debug as MySql debug seems to want to whinge about a few depreciated function calls

I have done a bit of searching and there is a process out there I have come accross

MIGRATING A WORDPRESS/WPMU/BUDDYPRESS WEBSITE

This makes use of a php script :
WordPress db Search and Replace Tool

Looks straight forward . The only reason I have tried it out is that as I am copying https://mydomain.biz to https://localhost/mydomain.local I want to try and run the script on my local (XAMPP) install not on the public facing site – the instructions seem to indicate the converse.

XAMP is similar and has a nice control panel. You can optionally run Apache etc as a service. I didn’t get on with WAMP.

Anyway, I am trying to recreate my blog site locally and so for I have imported the posts. Not sure what I do next to import the plugins (via ftp), themes and settings. Is this sort of thing you have done.

I gave up yesterday and when straight to XAMP which worked on Windows 8… Got the missing DLL bug and I thought life is too short.

Hi MarkyBoyz/dang21

So far so good on XAMP – thanks for your help. I have all my posts imported. I don’t however have my child theme(s) and the myriad of plugins I use. What is the best strategy for getting these on to the local install … I guess I need to ftp over the entire

/wp-content/themes
/wp-content/plugins

Is there anything else.

dang621 , that link looks really useful – what is best Xamp or Wamp?

I want to do this on a Ubuntu or windows 8 virtual machine ( running under hyper-v). Previously I tried to do this with XAMP on a machine running IIS 7 and entered a whole world of hurt! Yep port 80 contention.

When I finally resolved this and imported my amended mysql files I kept getting errors due hard coded links in the database e.g.

I have found 10 occurrences of
/home/sites/myblog.com/public_html/wp_content….

Has had anyone else had this issue and is it a case of search and replace or should I install on my local Linux vm

Also, if say my blog is called myblog.com then to run locally I guess you will need to ensure the the host file points to the local XAMP or WAMP instance and not the myblog.com on the internet.

I would like to second this. I am getting over 10 login attempts a day by unkowns who are “kindly” offering to my admin. Why or why are we allowing these bots to harvest the next_attempt_duration which must be added to some last_attempt_made or_this_domain variable.

Instead we should have a quite mode and even weighted random lockout times ….

Hi

I am no expert but I understand, WordPress needs this content/uploads/wpcf7_captcha directory to have restricted permissions. you have to specify your own directory if you want the generated files not be flagged as an issue. I got inconsistent results to be honest.

Good luck

Hi
@prionkor

Yep I am using SH Evolved .

@elshereef

Have you tried comparing the SHe Settings eg. Setting the first option: WP Syntaxhighter then SyntaxHighlighter
Plus the other settings?

Hi

just to clarify, I am taking about the AtD plugin that is now bundled in JetPack. I think the point I am making that in this case having it activated seem cause my c# code in my post to be reformatted with just

without the fancy SH pre attributes. Alternatively, the problems with SH could also be due to the Preview -> Update cycle ( rather than Update -> Preview). I need to amend my post today, so I can probably pin this down.

As anyone else tried deactivating certain plugins and or reversing the Preview -> Update cycle.

Hi Elsheef

Can you please elaborate. If the AtD pluggin is the reason behind the issues you and I are experiencing, then I Can pass this info to the JetPack support team.
