 * Im sorry for writing this post but i have searched everywhere and everything 
   and i still cant make it work. I am sure i am doing a rookie mistake somewehere
   but i dont know where.
 * The problem is regarding wamp localhost instalation; live to localhost wordpress
   transfer. I have exported database and imported it in php my admin i have change
   the site url and home to [http://localhost](http://localhost) in wp_options, 
   made the user with privilegies and i can get in the site but there is no theme
   there nor i can enter the wp-admin area and if i click on any link it shows 404.
   Im sure this has something to do with permalinks but i dont know how to fix it.
   All files were copied with ftp client to www/wordpress folders on C disk. Please
   help because this is frustrating.
