    I have installed a new wordpress site and made a few small changes to it. I’m trying to copy/clone it to localhost in order to make further changes and test them there. I then will want to push the site back to the internet. I’ve
    read many posts about how to do this but none of them are fully working for me.

    I saved a mysqldump of the database and copied the files to the local machine and created the database with the same permissions and credentials.

    I’ve tried Velvet Blues Update URLs, selecting all of the items in step 2. It reports:

    Success! Your URLs have been updated.

    Results
    37 Content Items (Posts, Pages, Custom Post Types, Revisions)
    0 Excerpts
    0 Links
    59 Attachments
    4 Custom Fields
    130 GUIDs

    If I then go to ‘visit site’ I do go to my local copy and it looks the same. However, the menu pages don’t work. I get ‘Not Found’ for http://xyz/about.

    How do I get this to work?
