I haven’t run through it all yet (just doing more reading around, but you’ve set me on right path). I’ll reply when I’ve completed your steps, * cheers. * Forum: [Localhost Installs](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs/) In reply to: [Help need to setup local version of a production wordpress website](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-need-to-setup-local-version-of-a-production-wordpress-website/) * Thread Starter [zephilim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zephilim/) * (@zephilim) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-need-to-setup-local-version-of-a-production-wordpress-website/#post-8215421) * I have found out where the bulk of the data is. There is an uploads directory with masses of media files. With duplicator, can you tell it to omit a certain directory? If so, I could run it without uploads, and copy over from the version I already have. That way, Duplicator won’t bomb out because the size of the zip file its creating. * Forum: [Localhost Installs](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs/) In reply to: [Help need to setup local version of a production wordpress website](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-need-to-setup-local-version-of-a-production-wordpress-website/) * Thread Starter [zephilim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zephilim/) * (@zephilim) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-need-to-setup-local-version-of-a-production-wordpress-website/#post-8215087) * The database files are about 140mb, the rest of it was the static files, I assume, there’s lots of high pictures, but at this point i’m not too bothered about that. I have both on my local machine, the database is set to go, but I don’t know where/how exactly to extract the static files (which includes all the wordpress core files, custom code and everything else). My intention is to run text search/ replacer to change urls to localhost. I feel like I’m not that far away, plus I don’t want to do much on the production site, until I am familiar with the local version. * Forum: [Localhost Installs](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs/) In reply to: [Help need to setup local version of a production wordpress website](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-need-to-setup-local-version-of-a-production-wordpress-website/) * Thread Starter [zephilim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zephilim/) * (@zephilim) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-need-to-setup-local-version-of-a-production-wordpress-website/#post-8214812) * Having taken a look at the database tables, I notice there are a whole load of extra tables in addition to the common wordpress tables. I assume that either they are related to additional plugins, or there is custom code that is dependent on those extra tables. Will the Duplicator plugin also copy those or does it just copy the common word press files? I could try using Duplicator, but I’ve already taken the time to get both dumps, which were almost 1.5gb in size, I would rather try to get what I have working, instead of having to download it all over again. Plus, I don’t know if Duplicator imposes a huge runtime cost on the production site potentially having a hit on current users. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Which version of wordpress is compatible with MySQL 5.5 and PHP version 5.4](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/which-version-of-wordpress-is-compatible-with-mysql-5-5-and-php-version-5-4/) * Thread Starter [zephilim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zephilim/) * (@zephilim) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/which-version-of-wordpress-is-compatible-with-mysql-5-5-and-php-version-5-4/#post-8212905) * Thanks Tara. The requirement documentation is quite misleading, which is why I asked this question. It says the recommendation is that MySQL5.6 and PHP5.6 are used without saying that it will still work ok with previous versions. Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total)
