I take backup from live wordpress site then try to run at localhost
import database
create folder web and paste all backup code
change database name n other stuff from config.php file
but site look like
i use these two line to avoid redirection to live site url
its work but not for all url
define('WP_HOME','localhost/web/');
define('WP_SITEURL','localhost/web/');
below links broken....please give solution
primarily twentyeleven theme css link broken
To avoid most of the issues, I would recommend to set up a fresh local version of WordPress and than import theme and content.
Maybe you have to change some setting in the database to adjust this to your local environment.

Hi all I am facing a problem wit avada theme while the theme is perfect at localhost but when I upload it on live server it get's the localhost links so when I change localhost links on live server theme's maximum part gets reset is there any proper way of uploading the avada theme.
Changing URLs in a text database .sql dump will break the serialized data that stores widget settings, theme options and more. Use interconnectit.com WordPress Serialized PHP Search Replace Tool to correctly find/replace URLs in the database.
If that tool does not work, and your theme still breaks after use, it means the theme does not correctly serialize data in the database.
Install a new plugin All-in-One WP Migration – WordPress plugin on both local host Wordpress as well as on hosting Wordpress Admin
Export the Site From Local Host Wordpress
import the site to Hosting Server wordpress
all the url replace automatically no need to change url one by one.
This can be done by change/replace all the localhost url to your live server on .sql file fist in any editor and then upload it to new server. it may work for you.
I am currently working on a project, actually we an online site, we are thinking of revamping this, on this online site we have many blogs already,
We have purchased a theme also and doing many customization on localhost.
How is this possible to update the theme with customization and pages on online server from localhost without affecting the blog posts ??
OK these are the steps that i do for putting site from local to live.
First move full wordpress site including all wp-admin,wp-content,wp-includes and files to you live server
then export you local server database
and this is the trick, open the .sql in a text editor like dreamweaver then replace all links like http://localhost/site to http://www.livesite.com
and now move or import this db to live server and apply settings in wp-config.php.
it always works for me.
A Wordpress novice and have set up my site locally using MAMP.
Unfortunately all the links to styles and I assume the database etc are by default pathed using 'localhost' so the site works ONLY on my machine. What is the correct way to change this pathing so that wordpress will correctly display the site?
For the database, you can edit the wp-config.php file at the root of your site.
As far as your styles are concerned, you'll have to go through the theme files that you've setup and adjust the relative path to those style sheets.
There are several options. Kyle is correct about editing wp-config.php, that will definitely take care of the new DB connection. However, I would advise against a manual adjustment of stylesheets and markup if possible. The easiest way for a novice might be this: export the DB from your local installation using "Settings > Export." Then, in your remote installation, use the WordPress Importer and it should tidy up all the links for you. This has worked for me several times.
You can learn more about other options here: http://wp.tutsplus.com/tutorials/hosting/how-to-break-a-wordpress-install-and-fix-it-again/
UPDATE: unless of course you've hardcoded "localhost" in your stylesheets and markup. In that case, use one of the solutions in the above link.
If your theme uses serialized data, you might have a problem when moving your website by simply doing a find and replace and changing the URL that way. I would recommend following WordPress's guide when you're moving your site.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress
It involves using a special script to change the URL of your site.
Hi I am currently developing an Wordpress site offline on local server and want to upload to my domain online. I don't need to transfer the database, but I would like my pages, theme, widgets to work correctly.
What I am doing:
Copying Wordpress directory to domain directory through ftp.
Exporting everything in local server Wordpress and importing in
online Wordpress.
All my pages/posts are transferred, and my theme is installed but not set default. When I select it, everything is set to the themes original defaults, not like changed on the local server (for example tagline, background, etc). Also the widgets are the default settings.
Am I doing something wrong?
I am using Wordpress 3.4.2
Thanks!
Yes, you have just forgotten that some options for your themes are actually stored as WordPress options, so if you don't upload your database, you will not transfer these settings.
I've written a tutorial explaining step-by-step how to transfer a WordPress site to another server: http://www.sebastianbroways.com/wordpress-transfer/
If you follow each step the site should retain all the settings, including the template preferences. Good luck.
What is easiest way to change wordpress site. I have develop a site in wordpress for client and who do not have enough knowledge of doing changes in files.
Is there any way that she just upload the files and run some script for changing the path in files and site can be functional.
You can add site relocation parameters to wp-config.php, re Moving WordPress « WordPress Codex, but for other important details of changing domains or moving from localhost to a live domain and changing URLs in the database, use Database Search and Replace Script in PHP | interconnect/it.
There are several ways to deploy a WordPress site, what I always do is this:
dump the database to a .sql file.
Do a search and replace on the database for the development URL (devsite.local) and replace it with the new URL (thewebsite.com) (no trailing slashes!!)
Upload the site including the uploads folder
Replace the database with your .sql file
This is the only way I know to do a complete migration from a local server to the real server.
You can also do an export of the content though XML, but that doesn't work with images and some settings.
