Hi,
Any suggestions for a new user?
I've managed to configure and run XAMPP nicely. Apache runs nicely, Mysql runs too (after a fight with the Skype port)
Next part of the process was to copy a live site and DB to run on my local machine.
There's where my problems started. All the instructions I found were really helpful in setting up Xampp, but somewhere along the line I have missed something, or (more likely) inexperience has let me down.
My local site has 30 odd pages,
When I open a browser and go to localhost/my-staging I see the 'Home' page of the local site, and all the content displaying correctly, but when I click on any of the menu links I am sent to this page
http://localhost/dashboard/ and all I see is a screen with Welcome to XAMPP for Windows 5.5.38 etc.
Why am I not getting the result I expected, in that the local site navigation should take me to localhost/about-us or other links/pages?
I CAN log in to the wp-admin page of this local site ok. I just cannot see pages other than the Home page.
I have run a find replace module on plugins to change all urls to localhost/my-staging but this has not helped.
Can anyone offer any suggestions as to how I can get this working as I need it to?
It was all going swimmingly too
Thanks in advance, McP.
