I moved site from online server to my local server. I changed in db links from my live domain into my localhost folder.
When I open site on my localhost it just shows me a blank page without any error report.
Does anyone have an idea what could be the reason ?
Thanks,
Denis
have you changed the db credentials in wp-config file in the root folder? There is a plugin duplicator:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/
use this plugin to migrate wordpress website from one server to another.

I recently migrated my website to a hosting provider from localhost and some of the "Featured Images" on the some pages are not showing up. I went to the Chrome Console on the computer that was having this problem and saw this error:
I see that Wordpress is trying to load the image from Localhost instead of the website. My siteurl and home options are set correctly. I have already tried deleting all the plugins but that didn't help. I also tried recreating the page on the server itself and it did not help. Can you please help?
Edit: I do see the images in the Media Library, but don't see them on the page when it loads.
Try to move your db with plugin WP Migrate DB
Upload a new site to hosting, after local development, as follows:
Copy the site folder from the local server to another location.
Export the Database to the copied folder with the site.
Using the editor (the normal editor should have a search-replacement), replace all occurrences of 'localhost/your_folder' on the site and in the database on 'yoursite.com'
Upload the site and the database to the server, respectively.
We have a domain hosted in godaddy. The web-site works fine without any issues.
Now we would like to use wordpress and wordpress themes and plugin to build the web-site
How do install or deploy wordpress in godaddy?
Thanks.
In godaddy, there is an option for one click install wordpress.
Or
If you want to install wordpress manually follow the below steps :
Download and unzip the WordPress package if you haven't already.
Create a database for WordPress on your web server, as well as a MySQL (or MariaDB) user who has all privileges for accessing and modifying it.
(Optional) Find and rename wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php, then edit the file (see Editing wp-config.php) and add your database information.
Upload the WordPress files to the desired location on your web server:
Run the WordPress installation script by accessing the URL in a web browser. This should be the URL where you uploaded the WordPress files.

For some unknown reason my live wordpress fot blocked, showing following message on each hit
"This site has been temporarily disabled, please try again later."
So, In order to recover data I copied my wordpress site files from domain to my PC. I uploaded the database to phpmyadmin, updated the wp-config.php file for my localhost but every time when I try to hit the site from browser* i.e. "http://localhost:8080/my-site-name/" it keeps me redirecting to the url "http://localhost/my-site-name/"
*my localhost is set up to the port 8080
open database, wp_options table, find row with site_url, home_url.... it's using old value, change them with new address.
Directly copying files from your live WordPress directory and import live database into local will not work as expected.
For this you need to updated all links in you local database with
local server link (Use search in phpmyadmin for domain and replace
with local one.
You may need to updated your .htaccess file according
your local server.
For getting backup from live to local you use
plug-in like Duplicator.
Here is a link duplicator where you will find plugin for backup and restore.It backup both php files and database.so need to import db on local mysql
There is a quick hack to this also. You can create a dummy post on WordPress and publish it. Later you can delete the post. It works for me the most time.
When i uploaded my WordPress site to the web. I clicked a page from the menu and it redirect to localhost.
And i uploaded my hole new site to the web and my theme does not change?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
You need to run a search/replace on your database to replace the local domain with the live domain. Until you do that, all links on the live domain will redirect to the local domain.
This is a tool that can do that:
https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/
To use this, unzip and upload the directory to your web hosting root, and then visit newdomain.com/your-directory-name/index.php in a browser.
Back up your database before running this.
Delete this folder after you are finished as it is a major security issue if left there.
More detailed instructions are on that page.
More information on migrating a WP installation can be found in the codex:

I don't understand your question about the theme. You'll need to provide more details on that.
Have successfully moved my WordPress website from my localhost to a live server but the images are not showing and some pages as well. Some pages are still showing the localhost URL while another error message am getting is "That page can't be found".
I already changed my siteurl and Home column in my database table (wp_option) to the live server, but still the images are not showing yet. What should I do?
You have to replace all localhost url in your database.
You should follow the steps below to move your database from local to live server:
Export your database to sql file
Use notepad++ open that sql file
Replace all localhost url to your live domain and save the file
Import the saved file to the live database
Note: make sure that you uploaded all the images to the live server
I would definitely recommend to use an automated plugin for the task. The one I use is Duplicator, by LifeInTheGrid. It is free and works perfectly to move a site from development to production and viceversa. Here is the link to it:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/
I use it with all my sites and so far it has worked flawlessly.
I finally discovered a wonderful plugin that did it all.
The plugin is called Velvet Blues Update URLs .
Just Download the package. Extract it to the "plugins" folder of your WordPress directory. In the Admin Panel, go to "Plugins" and activate it.
Go to Tools -> Update URLs to use it and then tick all the boxes to replace the old URLs with the new URLs.
