i have a live test site at http://www.plushdesign.net/cms, using a child theme of builder framework.
i copied the files to a local (mamp) dev site, imported a builder site export and the mysql db export (which i edited to reflect localhost). the site shows up fine, posts and pages listed as expected, but no plugins/widgets. i tried copying them into the local site from live site via ftp several times, as well as copy from local downloads of the plugins (still dont show up)—both after setting up a fresh local wp install—they do copy but still dont show up. out of frustration, i reinstalled all of them new from wp plugins page, and was about to (tediously) reset them to match the live site.
is there an easier way to reproduce the live site? i have done this before with other wp sites and not had this problem. i am editing db/wp-config files via textmate.
