In reply to: Issue with mysql db table, couldn't be fixed by WP DB tool@cedcommerce: Yes, it worked! Thank you very much! But I tried going to settings > permalinks and saved and it didn’t work. But I noticed that my .htaccess code did not write because of, again, file permission issues. So, I commented out the original .htaccess code and then pasted in the .htaccess code from settings > permalinks found at the bottom of the page using my text editor. And, success! It worked! The links work and everything! Just gotta figure out why my Media images are not showing, but that’s a small issue.
Again, many thanks my friend!

In reply to: Issue with mysql db table, couldn't be fixed by WP DB tool@tara: I explained it a little bit in my original post. Basically, I was migrating my live site to my localhost. And I was having issues with connecting to the database. So, I went searching for information and came across a post that suggested trying to use a fresh install of WordPress but use the wp-content folder from the live site instead. When I tried this WP started doing the installation setup, recognized I had a database already set up and attempted to fix it with a DB tool they provided. It couldn’t fix the table you mentioned in your question.
After reading the suggestion left by cedcommerce. I dropped the WordPress installation I started and repeated my process and then did what cedcommerce had suggested, which was changing my URL and HOME links in the DB table from the live URL to my localhost URL for both URL and HOME. But my real issue was the permissions on the files were set to read-only, so I had to change the privileges using Terminal on Mac. And since I had already change the URL and HOME links suggested by cedcommerce, it fired up! But only the home page would show and the links to my other pages were broken.

In reply to: Issue with mysql db table, couldn't be fixed by WP DB tool@cedcommerce: Thanks for the information, I forgot to do that. I also had to fix the file permissions in the folder, by using chmod 775 -R folder in the terminal.
But now I have broken links. I can see the home page in my localhost, but the other links that link to the other pages in my site are broken.
When viewing the link in the Chrome inspector I see this for the
<a>tag for the page I’m trying to reach:<a href="http://localhost/home2967593404/things-we-have/">Things We Have</a>I assume this is not correct?
This what I get when I click on a nav link to a different page in my site:
Object not found!
The requested URL was not found on this server. The link on the referring page seems to be wrong or outdated. Please inform the author of that page about the error.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

In reply to: wp-admin asking for authenticationHi Suyash87,
I think most text editors will show hidden files. For instance, I use Sublime Text 3 and it shows hidden files. You can also show all hidden files on your system, but not recommended.
I would just try to download a text editor like Sublime Text to see the hidden files.

In reply to: Portrait images rotate 90 deg when posted.Hi Mike,
I just tried using the rotate tool that WP offers after uploading images to your Media (click on “edit” below image). Have you tried that? It works for me!
Hope that works,
Scott
