Dear geraldyeo,

I stumbled upon the exact same thing. So I was pretty happy to find this post. I’ve tried the above but somehow it’s not working, I get a totally blank page when I replace:

if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') ) {
	register_sidebar(array(
		'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
		'after_widget' => '</li>',
		'before_title' => '<h2 class="widgettitle">',
		'after_title' => '</h2>',
	));

with

if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
	register_sidebar(array('name'=>'primary_sidebar',
		'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
		'after_widget' => '</li>',
		'before_title' => '<h2 class="widgettitle">',
		'after_title' => '</h2>',
));

in my functions.php. And yes, I also did replace:

if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar() : ?>

with

if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('primary_sidebar') ) : ?>

I’ve tried it with just the primary sidebar as with both primary and secondary, both don’t work. Any help?

Best, Salli

MikeTheVike, can you tell me how you fixed it?
I have the exact same problem.

http://localhost:8888/ doesn’t work. (It does for my other 2 local blogs)
http://localhost:8888/wp-login.php works, but when I enter user and password and push the login button it redirects to http://mysite.com/wp-admin/

I read http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL but it confused me even more. Hope you can help or link me to any tutorial you know of.

Thanks!
