    Hi, notalentgeek, & welcome to the WordPress support forum. Are you saying this is a local install? If so, is this a Windows, Mac, or Linux box? Also, what is the folder name to which your WordPress is installed?

    My suspicion is that your file permissions are set incorrectly, but I’d like some clarification on the above questions before saying anything more, because giving suggestions for solutions w/o fully understanding the problem only tends to complicate matters.

    If you’ve moved your blog from IPage to a local install, what have you done to change the url’s in the database?

    I think I’ve asked enough questions for now. Answering them in your next reply will help us help you better.

    Ohhh hello!

    I think my hosting was a Linux shared hosting. While my local is a Windows 10 Pro. My folder name is blog_wordpress.

    While it was in remote I remember, I changed its (all file and folder) permission to 777 (or lower?) using chmod.

    I did change the WP_HOME and WP_SITEURL to http://localhost/blog_wordpress. However, all images and themes are still set into absolute address of my remote. Hence, when there is no internet connection, images and themes are not loaded.

    Hi, notalentgeek. Let’s start by ensuring all your images, etc. are local. Please check your wp-content/uploads folder (assuming a default WordPress installation) to ensure all your images are there. Replace them if not.

    Next, you’ll want to do a search-&-replace on your database to change all url’s from your prior blog to a localhost installation. I personally use the script found at
    https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/
    but there are others out there & my personal use patterns in no way reflects an endorsement of the product either by myself or the WordPress community at large. I do not have any financial affiliation w/the vendors, in case that makes a difference. Disclaimers done.

    777 is a very bad file permission, especially on a remote server. If your blog is going to be on the internet via your local machine, then it’s also not a good permission setting there, either. Please remember to set passwords on your local box, as not doing so can render your machine highly insecure & expose you to the possibility of being hacked even more than the majority of machines these days. If you’re going to run your blog from your local machine over the internet, then please also ensure your router is secured w/at least wpa2.

    Please change all url’s & let’s see where we are.

    Holy McBride, it is working!!! Thanks. I can now log in into my dashboard.

    There is a thing though. Although my themes is working again, my images are still missing. It refers me to localhost/blog_wordrpress/localhost/blog_wordpress/wp-content/… while it should go to localhost/blog_wordpress/wp-content/….

    I tried to search and replace localhost/blog_wordrpress/localhost/blog_wordpress/ with localhost/blog_wordrpress/ but there is no such entry in the database.

    What should I do?

    Hi, notalentgeek. Looks like there may be a misspelling here, i.e. localhost/blog_wordrpress. I’m thinking you need to search for localhost/blog_wordpress/localhost/blog_wordpress & replace it with localhost/blog_wordpress

    Also, please make certain all letters in the url are lowercase. Check your spelling carefully, & I think that will solve your problem.

    Let us know, ok?

    There is nothing wrong with typo. Actually there are two identical databases in my PHPMyAdmin (that is why my search returns nothing) that stores posts from my blog. I am not sure how this can happen. Half of my posts, especially the older posts are all fine. Only some newer posts have their images wrongly linked.

    I will try to re – make my blog on different platform. This is so time consuming.

    Thanks for your help.

    I have same problem. My site is working fine in local host.
    When I host my site in remote all images and pages are working fine but wp-admin login error comes cookies are blocked or not supported your browser.
    The remote machine is linux.
    I contact with hosting provider they told me there is may be file permissions issue. And ask me give the exact file name which need write permission I provide that file for write permission. But I don’t know which is exact file.

    @ajeetkmishra, please start your own topic regarding this. When doing so, please include a link to the site in question & whether or not your hosting is shared, VPS, or dedicated. You may also post a link to your topic here, if desired.
