Import SQL tables into wordpress on a localhost
-
Hello,
I had a web site on Hostgator for a while but then decided to pack it up and cancel my account. I exported my SQL database as well as my file used on my site.
Now I have a localhost on my computer using wamp server, and I’d like to transfer my site onto my localhost. I tried installing wordpress into the localhost first then importing the database but I get errors when I import.
I try to import the database first then install wordpress, but I still get errors.
So how do I successfully import the SQL database onto the localhost and get wordpress to work? -
You are posting to the wrong support forum. We cannot help you here at all. That site is not hosted by wordpress.COM and as it is not on our servers we cannot help you with it.
WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
This is wordpress.COM support. We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. Our support docs do not apply to
(1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
(2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM.
(3) sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites wordpress.com account page.That support is at https://wordpress.org/support
The wordpress.ORG login link is here https://login.wordpress.org/ If you do not have an account yet then click Create an account https://login.wordpress.org/register/ and if you have lost an account password click Lost password? https://login.wordpress.org/lostpassword/Some Jetpack solutions are here http://jetpack.com/support/
Others are in the Jetpack support forum at WordPress.org
http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpackHowever, if help cannot be found at either one then they can file a Jetpack support ticket here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/?jetpack=needs-service
WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
See also https://apps.wordpress.org/support/ for app support.
