  • Hi,

    You should get a fresh copy of WordPress and unzip into your localhost htdocs to install and not ftp from your host. After installation, then you ftp your themes and plugins into your localhost.

    This way you will not get error.

    Hope this helps!

    That Worked!
    Thank you very much.
    This information helps me understand WordPress’ structure much more.
    I just had to select the new theme.
    Now I’ll “Import” the SQL file.

    Hi denzel_chia,

    Your advice above looks like it might solve the same problem I have, but I’m not sure exactly what you mean. What does it mean to unzip into “localhost htdocs”? What, and where is/are “htdocs”? Is it a file? I can find “.htaccess” but no “htdocs”. Also, how do I unzip a file on my personal computer to the “localhost” server? Sorry about not understanding it all yet.
