In reply to: WordPress local install to liveYour links are still pointing to the localhost. You can use Velvet Blues Update URLs plugin to change them in the database.
The problem with that is you won’t be able to edit the site from localhost as the site name and all links will be pointing to the hosted site urls.
I would create two sites locally. One for localhost and one for the hosted site. Edit the site on localhost and move it to the hosted site. The easiest thing for me is to dump the database after editing, open the sql file in a text editor and find/replace the site names. ie: site.localhost.com with http://www.ecuadorcyberradio.com. Then delete the hosted database, create a new one (same name) and import the updated info. Then move the updated wordpress files to the hosted site directory, edit wp-config.php with the correct info and you’re done.

In reply to: WordPress from home and noipYou need to set a local address for your website.
Add another VirtualHost that routes to the wordpress directory.

In reply to: Moving my website to my local computer to make offline editsA checklist of sorts:
Download database dumps. Edit the dump files and change all instances of the site name to the local site name. Import into local database.
Download entire site to root directory of web server. Change owner and group of all files to user and group that Apache is running as. Change permissions of all files and folders to the WordPress recommendation.
Edit the host file on the computer if necessary to point to the site.
Edit wp-config.php. Check for the correct DB_NAME, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, and DB_HOST for the local machine.
