Then you can use the plugin to export from the live site and import to the local site. * You may need to copy files in the uploads directory manually via FTP. * Forum: [Localhost Installs](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs/) In reply to: [Problem with installing new themes an pligin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-installing-new-themes-an-pligin/) * [chrisan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrisan/) * (@chrisan) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-installing-new-themes-an-pligin/#post-6664291) * try to use warmserver Apache : 2.2.22 or 2.4.2 MySQL : 5.5.24 PHP : 5.3.4 or 5.4.3 PHPMyAdmin : 3.5.1 SqlBuddy : 1.3.3 XDebug : 2.2.0 * Forum: [Localhost Installs](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs/) In reply to: [Problem with installing new themes an pligin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-installing-new-themes-an-pligin/) * [chrisan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrisan/) * (@chrisan) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-installing-new-themes-an-pligin/#post-6664290) * try to use Apache : 2.2.22 or 2.4.2 MySQL : 5.5.24 PHP : 5.3.4 or 5.4.3 PHPMyAdmin: 3.5.1 SqlBuddy : 1.3.3 XDebug : 2.2.0 * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Error establishing a database connection](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-establishing-a-database-connection-724/) * [chrisan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrisan/) * (@chrisan) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-establishing-a-database-connection-724/#post-6682817) * wp-config.php is probably the single most important file in your entire WordPress installation. This is where you specify the details for WordPress to connect your database. If you changed your root password, or the database user password, then you will need to change this file as well. First thing you should always check is if everything in your wp-config.php file is the same. 1 define(‘DB_NAME’,‘ database-name’); 2 define(‘DB_USER’, ‘database-username’); 3 define(‘DB_PASSWORD’,‘ database-password’); 4 define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); * Remember your DB_Host value might not always be localhost. Depending on the host, it will be different. For popular hosts like HostGator, BlueHost, Site5, it is localhost. You can find other host values here. * Some folks suggested that they fixed their problem by replacing localhost with the IP. It is common to see this sort of issue when running WordPress on a local server environment. For example on MAMP, the DB_Host value when changed to the IP may seem to work. 1 define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘127.0.0.1:8889’); * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [how to check wordpress version](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-check-wordpress-version/) * [chrisan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrisan/) * (@chrisan) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-check-wordpress-version/#post-6677647) * If your using the latest version of wordpress 4.3.1 (like me), login to your admin dashboard, scroll down to the footer of your dashboard and at the lower right side end, wordpress version is displayed there and you will be able to see the version you’re running. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Unable to change font color](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unable-to-change-font-color-1/) * [chrisan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrisan/) * (@chrisan) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unable-to-change-font-color-1/#post-6672436) * Hi there, With issue of changing the font color, you can try using the font plugin to change font.
