Wordpress locally and Migrating to Live Server

  1. I have many domains into my cPanel. My site has already a worpress theme installed. http://screencast.com/t/7JsA7YRDJF

  2. I've installed wordpress locally and I've made "Migrating to Live Server" using another domain http://screencast.com/t/7XooNc16lf

After that, I can't access my current website (with a wordpress theme already installed)!

  1. I don't understand the process (wordpress locally and migrating to Live Server) .

Can anybody help me?

Respectfully, Catalin

If you actually installed WordPress into a subfolder the second time, it should not in any way affected the main website. What specifically do you see when you try to access your main domain?

If you build a theme to ship, you do not usually include the database, however, if you download some of the premium theme, they will come with a sample content file you can upload for demo purposes.

Hi, When you uploaded the new site, it should go into a sunflower, not the root directory of the site. It sounds like you may have accidentally uploaded WordPress into your main server folder instead of into the subhuman. Is that possible?

Hi, Zac,

I have installed WordPress (last year) into my main server folder. Two days ago I've installed WordPress into a sunflower (subhuman) too. Is this right? I've followed the steps from video and I don't know where the mistake is. On the other hand, I want to develop a theme locally and after to sell it or give somebody. Is this possible without exporting the database? Sorry, Zac! I'm new in WordPress and I'm under pressure. May be I've made elementary mistakes. Is any possibility to fix this issue?

Thank's!
