Courses Plus Student 37,546 PointsHaving trouble uploading local wordpress project using FTP Client
I am trying to upload my local wordpress project using the FTP client/server side, i did all the steps zac gordon specified on all his videos but it is still not working. I correctly added the MYSQL database in my control panel, uploaded the db files in my phpadmin area. Not sure if I am uploading the files on FTP in a wrong folder or if I need to make a new folder. I have it right now going into the public html folder on the ftp server side

4,312 Pointsi can see that you have a problem with the database connection, see that you wrote the right login details on wp-config.php
Cisco Rendon
Courses Plus Student 37,546 Pointsit is still uploading through the ftp right now but I think I see what you mean in the wp-config.php file... I will wait until it is done then I will just import that one page...

Courses Plus Student 37,546 PointsI got the site up but now I cannot make the search and replace plugin change all the "localhost" file titles...
dorzki
4,312 Pointswhere are you try to do so?
Cisco Rendon
Courses Plus Student 37,546 PointsLooks like search and replace does not work with wordpress version 4.0... did some research on it last night and it is not working. Time to look for another plugin that will do the job

4,312 Pointswhat do you need to change and why?
Cisco Rendon
Courses Plus Student 37,546 PointsI need to change all the "localhost/siteurl's" to the live site url, if not all the designs I did on my localhost was for nothing which means I would have to start all over again

4,312 Pointsi've visited the site earlier today and browsed it a bit and it looked fine...

Courses Plus Student 37,546 Pointsit's not working right, i cleared all the cache in all my browsers and it is still not looking like the one I designed, none of the pages are included and none of the images are showing up. It is really pissing me off

Courses Plus Student 37,546 Pointsit's cool Dor, i appreciate the gesture but somehow in all the frustrations during the day the files and front end development got erased. Not sure if I did it or not but it is what it is now. Thanks for the assistance, I appreciate it
