    @mathwriter, You can keep these folders: Themes, Plugins, and Uploads folders. They are important for your WordPress setup.

    If nothing works, you can try these methods, if applicable on your end:

    1> Upload WordPress 3.7 in your live server and extract it there.

    2> If successfully extracted in your live server, you will see the wp-content folder with Themes Folder, Plugins Folder and index.php

    3> Upload your media items from Upload Folder
    then rest you can follow the steps provided by WordPress.

    Also if the issue still exists, try fixing it first in your localhost with the latest version of WordPress.

    Hi @mathwriter, If you are going to migrate your WordPress setup from your localhost to a live server, then try these setups below as this has less chance of error.

    1> Setup new WordPress in your live server directly using host Cpanel or by contacting the hosts directly.

    2> Install All in one wp migration plugin in your both setups ( localhost and live server )

    3> Export your data from localhost and import that data file in your live server.

    Sometimes, when we upload files using FTP, some files and folders are skipped during the upload.

    Hi @mathwriter, The wp-content folder is an important part of a WordPress installation.

    What is/was supposed to be in these folders?
    This folder “wp-content” includes plugins, themes, uploads, and debug.logs and other folders if they are created by any plugins or themes.

    The Plugins folder has all the plugins that you can manage from your dashboard > plugins.

    The Themes folder has all the themes that you can manage from your dashboard > appearance > themes.

    The Uploads folder has all the media items that you upload in your posts/pages or any other content using the media uploader. The media items are saved according to the date.

    Hope this solves your confusion 🙂
