    Hi All,

    I recently downloaded webmatrix and started creating a website locally. I am happy with the site so far so I decided to find a host and publish it and work on the live version from now on.

    However much to my dismay the installation was unsuccesful not in relation to actually having wordpress installed on my server but, the actual website that i created on my local host hasnt loaded! Instead I now have ”Just Another wordpress site” as opposed to the one on my pc. So I delted wordpress off my server and started again this time I used Filezilla to upload the website files manually. Again no luck!

    Any ideas of where I am going wrong? i cant find anything anywhere on any forums that have the issue I have. 🙁

    Thank you in advance for help.

    You need to either move your database or export your local content and import them in your live version. see Moving WordPress here.

    Hi,

    shirazdrum is right. Let me expand on it a bit further. WordPress stores all your content in databases. That means any posts you create, and any data you add to your site is in the actual database. Anytime you move a WordPress site to a new installation, you have to copy the wp-content folder from your local installation as well as import a copy of the database.

    I hope this helps!
