Hi All,
Any assistance on this gratefully received.....
I want to load a WP backup onto localhost; I am doing this for one reason and that is to extract some of the page contents. I have XAMPP installed and working, database configured and imported, WP backup in HTdocs etc. After a few issues with the database connection I can now sort of connect.
If I go to localhost I get the index of my WP install; clicking on public_html/ opens a home page of sorts. It has all the links that were on my home page but no content whatsoever. It has the links that were in the widget footer and a few icons, the links that formed the menu at the top of the page but no content. Of course none of the links work as the URLs are all pointing to a www.@@@@@@.co.uk/page; I've tried changing them manually but get a content not found on the server error.
I know the backup I used to install is good as I'd done a full, live site migration with it a few months before I pulled the site down.
I'm hoping this is really obvious to somebody? If I could just get the text content out of the site that would be enough
Thank you in anticipation of salvation
