To import everything, you need to take the backup of your existing website. You can use BackUpWordpress plugin for that:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/backupwordpress/
After installing this plugin, you can follow these steps:
1. In dashboard, go to Tools -> Backups. Here you will find the setting option. Select “Both Database and File” option. And in “schedule“, select “Manual” option.
2. Take a backup and download it.
3. Unzip the backup zip folder and place it on your local server and rename it.
4. Create a database on local server and upload the .sql file from the unzip folder.
5.Look for wp_options table after you are done with database import. Change site_url and home_url.
You can read the below link to know about home and site_url

6. Look for the wp-config.php file on the root of the unzipped folder. Change database name, username, password, and host name.
Post this, you should have a working site on your localhost, and you may login using existing site credentials.
Thanks for the answer and sorry for the delay!
Everything worked but I have this error “Error establishing a database connection” but in the wp-config.php everything is correct so I can’t understand what I did wrong. Do you have an idea?
Actually for the pt.5 you worte, I found the site_url in the options table but not the home_url, so I don’t know where to change it.
If you’re sure that the MySQL settings are correct then you’ve most probably recreated the following bug:
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/28273
The solution is to update the “siteurl” and “home” in the database table “wp_options”.
You can also define the WP_SITEURL and WP_HOME in the wp-config.php file as per the instructions here:
