 * Bonjour,
    J”ai installé wordpress en local sur mon ordinateur sous Linux (Unbuntu
   14.04) j’ai un site sur wordpress.com ([bernardsublet.com](http://bernardsublet.com))
   En voulant changer le thème de mon site sur mon localhost, je vois que je dois
   charger un importateur. De même pour importer mon site en ligne sur mon ordinateur
   pour travailler dessus en localhost Je ne sais pas quel nom d’hôte je dois inscrire,
   les autres cases étant remplies automatiquement De plus il y a cette note : “
   Si vous ne vous rappelez pas vos informations d’identification, vous devez contacter
   votre hébergeur’ Voilà donc ma question. Merci pour votre aide
 * PS: je me suis adressé à wordpress.org (fournisseur du logiciel locaohost) mais
   ils m’ont demendé de voir wordpress.com pour les connexions.

    ==================== Hello, I “ve wordpress installed
   locally on my Linux box (Unbuntu 14.04) I have a website on wordpress.com (bernardsublet.
   com) In wanting to change the theme of my site on my localhost, I see that I 
   need to load an importer. Similarly to import your content online on my computer
   to work on it in localhost I do not know what hostname I need to register, the
   other boxes are filled automatically In addition there is this note: “If you 
   do not remember your credentials, you should contact your hosting provider ‘ 
   So that’s my question. Thanks for your help
 * PS: I spoke to wordpress.org (locaohost software vendor) but Demende me to see
   wordpress.com for connections.
    ================== Your website at “wordpress.
   com” has nothing to do with your localhost, there is no connection between the
   two websites.
 * What is the name of the theme you want to use on your localhost ?
    It may be 
   that the theme author requires you to use an importer. This is not usual. Mostly
   you can download the theme files and install them in “wp-content/themes/”

 * I don’t speak French but I think you’re facing a permissions issue.
 * Open terminal in Ubuntu (ctrl alt+t) and enter:
    `sudo chown -R www-data /var/
   www/html/yoursite`
 * This recursively gives ownership to your site files to `www-data` (the apache
   group). You should then be able to import themes/plugins etc through the WordPress
   dashboard.
 * Once you have done this, if you need to change ownership back to your user (maybe
   you are editing theme files) enter:
    `sudo chown -R $USER /var/www/html/yoursite`
 * Good luck
