In reply to: Problems connecting to localhostHi Jackie, many thanks! I suspect that’s the problem. Yes, I need to work out how I import the database and I have a vague idea that it is a collection of files that I will need to zip before I import. If you can give me an idea of which files/directories they are, I might be ok from there.

In reply to: “Re-initializing” a wordpress website on localhostYes!!! That worked!!! I had to do a few refreshes and then away it went!!! So all done! Thanks so much for that. I don’t think I could have done that without your help.
It gives me some appreciation for what I will need to do when I move it to be live!!! But I might try out a plugin for that!!! Actually, now that I can get to the db in phpMyAdmin, I can export it in the correct manner….
Thanks again for all your help! BruceForum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: “Re-initializing” a wordpress website on localhostIn that last post I should have said…I can go into phpMyAdmin and go to IMPORT (not export), but I can then only browse to the existing files which do not include a .sql file. I hope that makes sense!

In reply to: “Re-initializing” a wordpress website on localhostHi Xenos, thanks for the explanation. Yes, I do have a full copy of the original files. The problem I have, is that I can go into phpMyAdmin and go to export, then I can browse to those original files, but there is no .sql there and I can’t run the original files under localhost, so I can’t open them in phpMyAdmin and do an export.
I tried creating a db in phpMyAdmin and then I zipped the files and imported them into the new db (with same name as the original) but when I run the website in the browser, it is giving me a blank WP project and so is not picking up the database. So I think that’s my main problem. I need to see if I can create a sql file for the original db.
If I could run the original installation, I could export the db and all would be ok.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: “Re-initializing” a wordpress website on localhostOk, progress … I zipped the db files and imported them to the new setup. One thing – do I only zip the files under the directory with the db name or do I go one up and zip everything in the data directory? (Some big files in that data directory).
I have moved the WP files across in their entirety.
I am getting a message now “error establishing a database connection”. However, first I need to check on that first issue – how much do I zip and import?
Moving ahead at breakneck speed!!! 🙂

In reply to: “Re-initializing” a wordpress website on localhostHi again,
I am looking for the sql database to import as per the above discussion and it is not there! I am assuming that the file I need is a .sql and it’s name should be the actual db name. All that I can find is a directory with that name and none of the files in there are .sql, only .frm and .ibd
Do I import each of these files?? The directory is under MySql/data/….
Many thanks for persevering with this!!!Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: “Re-initializing” a wordpress website on localhostah! I am looking at that now. I need to learn more about MySql!!! I see the import option but it seems to want just a single file and I have no idea which one! I thought the database might have been a series of files.
There might be a delay before I can respond again!!! 11pm over here!Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: “Re-initializing” a wordpress website on localhostJust checked and there is a config file and all looks to be ok with the contents. It still comes up and tries to install a new copy. I wonder if there is a file that I need to copy but haven’t? I have done all of the WordPress directory plus mysql..

In reply to: “Re-initializing” a wordpress website on localhostHi Xenos, I should check the files that I need to copy over in that case. I will keep working on it and let you know what happens. Many thanks

In reply to: [WP Photo Album Plus] Album page shortcodeHi,
thanks for that. Only minor problem is that when I enter any of them I get an error message. For eg. for the last one…
[WPPA+ dbg msg: Invalid type: “cover” in wppa shortcode.]

In reply to: [WP Photo Album Plus] wppa images appearing as separate pagesHi,
yes, that was certainly the issue. I must have turned it on for some reason. Certainly a powerful option but not needed in my case at the moment. Many thanks for responding so quickly.
Regards Bruce

In reply to: [WP Photo Album Plus] wppa images appearing as separate pagesOk, answered my own question! No all is fine when I delete these pages. They are, after all, only a code.
But how did they generate (themselves)? I have quite a few galleries and it was only images from one of the galleries that did this.
