local server

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello. I need to edit my sit on a local server. It took me the entire day to finally install WordPress on a local server. I was able to migrate and import my site. As soon as it is imported I am taken to the dashboard where it makes me sign into the account. I enter in the passwords that I just created but it doesn’t recognize anything. This happened twice— after the first time I started from scratch.

    My question is— do I disregard the new password and ‘test site’ name that I created on my database and login with my regular credentials? That worries me. Will that change the live site?

  • Hi there,

    Judging by the site connected to your WordPress.com account it looks like you’re using the open-source WordPress software and therefore you need to seek help at these forums:

    The forum you’re currently posting is for WordPress.com hosted sites only. If you want to know more about the differences between WordPress.com and the WordPress software you can read this document:
