Hello.
I'm an interactive media developer, primarily with ActionScript, and I also have experience in coding for the web using HTML, CSS, JavaScript and a little PHP.
Recently I've been tasked with maintaining and modifying a Word Press site which was developed over a year ago by a contractor. I've been learning Word Press using the documentation here on wordpress.org, and have been building an offline mirror of the site on my computer's localhost server: WampServer2.1d-x64 running on Windows 7 Pro 64.
I have previously installed Word Press 3.0.4 on this server and it ran with no problems. But now that I'm building the mirror of our site, none of the subpages on the site load. I can get the home page to load and also if I run a search query from the home page it will give me a search results page. I can also log in to the admin pages. But if I try to visit any subpage on the site it just fails to load, it doesn't even show a 404 page.
To mirror the site I copied all of the files from the server and did a bulk re-name of any occourances of the live server's URL, http://www.thehostname.com, to localhost. I backed up the database and did the same; opened the .sql file and renamed all occourances of http://www.thehostname.com to localhost before importing it via phpMyAdmin.
I've checked the "WordPress address (URL)" and "Site address (URL)" in the General Settings admin page and they are both "http://localhost".
The site uses the following plugins: Breadcrumb NavXT v3.5.1, Contact Form 7 v2.3, a custom Filters.php, Exclude Pages from Navigation v1.9, FaceBook Share (New) v1.9.2, FD Feedburner Plugin v1.42, Flexi Quote Rotator v0.2, Google XML Sitemaps v3.2.4, More Fields v2.0.1, My Page Order v3.0a, Pixopoint Menu Plugin v0.6.20, Quick Cache v2.2.6, Redirection v2.1.29, Table of Contents Creator v1.6.4.1, TweetMeme Retweet Button v1.8.6.
Thank you.
