 * Hi
 * I’m doing with some colleagues a WordPress project. A colleague shared his implementation.
   I opened it in WebMatrix, set up a database and imported the database which the
   colleague give me. Than I altered the wp-config.php with my database credentials.
   And then I added to the wp-config.php
 * define(‘WP_HOME’, ‘[http://localhost:28456/wordpress&#8217](http://localhost:28456/wordpress&#8217););
   
   define(‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘[http://localhost:28456/wordpress&#8217](http://localhost:28456/wordpress&#8217););
 * I does not work, I just get a white page. I think the only problem could be the
   port number. I got the port number 28456 by opening the website in WebMatrix (
   right click –> open in browser).
 * Can somebody help me?
 * I’m using newest WordPress version.
 * By the way, if I’m setting up a new WordPress project with WebMatrix locally 
   it works.
