I have a wordpress site and I want to be able to make one of the pages 'standalone' html so that I can display it in a browser that's not connected to the internet. Any ideas?
To get a local copy of your actual page view user Ctrl+s. This will not include all css/js and might be not what you want. Its a better screenshot.
To get a fully working local version install xampp to get a webserver and a mysql server.

Download you WordPress instance and move it in the htdocs directory that is inside the xampp installation.
Create a mysqldump of your wordpress database and load it into your local mysqlserver.
Configure your local WordPress instance so it can connect to the database.

I developed a Wordpress site locally using MAMP.
I'm trying to transfer it on my home server to show to the client, so I used the plugin "Duplicator".
Everything seemed to work fine but all the links are now broken.
I put the .zip archive and the installer.php inside a folder inside the "html" folder of apache and run installed.php from the browser.
I'm not familiar with the 'duplicator' plugin, but when you transfer a Wordpress site to a new server, you usually have to do three things.
Edit the wp_options table and change the siteurl and home field to the URL of the new site.
Update the wp-config.php file to have the correct settings for the new server.
Use a search and replace tool to bulk replace the old URL with the new URL in all your posts and pages. The best tool I have found is to install wp-cli (http://wp-cli.org/) and then run:
wp search-replace oldurl.com newurl.com
You obviously need to use wp search-replace carefully, as you could mess up a lot of posts if you do it wrong. So obviously keep a backup around.
I have a live wordpress website, due to some problem my database table become empty. Now I have only files and folders of my website. So please guide me how to create a clone of my website in my wamp server localhost with existing file/folders in root directory without database file?
This plugin is an excellent tool to migrate from live to local and vice versa All in one wp migrator copies all files and database. But in your case not sure if it will help .
To copy the files locally all you need is filezilla and the ftp credentials which may be the same as cpanel credentials. Then copy all files to local folder for website of your wamp. Php myadmin on your live site dump the sql and import into your local wamp php .
Can you check if you have a back up via the cpanel under softaculous installer you may be able to restore a back up of the site.
If your database is empty and there is no backup then all the contents of your website (except for photos) are lost.
Your hosting company may have made automatic backups and you ought to contact them right away.
You can make a MAMP clone using your current files and images, but none of your old content will appear and your images will not appear in the Media Manager. The images will need to be re-imported.
To make a local MAMP site with your existing files, first create a new blank Wordpress installation using the following instructions:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress_Locally_on_Your_Mac_With_MAMP
A new contentless Wordpress database will be created in this process.
Then remove all the Wordpress files except wp-config.php and copy all your old live site's files into the folder. When you reload Wordpress it will be running off the live site's code and plugins.
I'm making my first steps learning how to develop a Wordpress theme. I installed Wordpress in local, I designed a theme and now I'm learning how to export it to a live site.
I have the server address, the user and the password of my client. I downloaded filezilla, I logged in and I decided to make a subdirectory in his actual site to install the wordpress site. So it woud be something like this www.clientsite.com/wordpressnewsite.
The thing is that I suppose that I have to install phpMyAdmin in this subdirectory so like this I can import my database.
I downloaded phpMyAdmin, I saved all the files in my subdirectory and I created a config directory inside with all the permissions.
Now I tried to go to http://www.clientsite.com/wordpressnewsite/phpmyadmin/setup/ to continue the installation but it shows a white page without a message or something.
Do you have some recommendation?
Couple of things:
Its likely if you use cpanel you already have phpmyadmin. its not advisable to leave it in a accessible web directory, or hackers gonna get you.
If you have that phpmyadmin folder under your wordpress install its likely that it may not work as the htaccess file for wordpress is trying to send everything through wordpress.
In the phpmyadmin folder you could enter the following in the htaccess file.
RewriteEngine Off.
I am currently developing a WordPress project on a Windows machine (XAMPP) with my partner on a Mac (MAMP).
I installed WordPress on my local /htdocs, edited themes etc.
At the end of this all, I exported my WordPress database through PhpMyAdmin for my partner to install the whole project on his machine.
He has the /wordpress folder and imported the SQL with correct database names etc.
But whenever he goes to localhost:8888/wordpress it results in a 404 page not found error.
why?
The problem is, there are a lot of serialized things in the wordpress database, what you can not just find / replace.
I moved from localhost to production a ton of times wordpress sites.
So what you need to do is to:
Dump the database from local
Copy the files to production server
Import the database, but do not open the site in browser!
Download the script from here.
Unzip, and upload this into a wp-replace directory
Go to http://example.com/wp-replace/
Follow the instructions. Replace the olddomain.com to newdomain.com/wordpress (do not use http and trailing slash, add port if needs)
Go to the dashboard, login, and refresh the permalinks.
Done
*I hav made a small demo web app(using html5, and jquery mobile)
*I have installed and set up Xampp
*set passwords for local server
* I am confused as in what to do next, where do i store my .html files and other resources
*I need to test my app on a network
*I want to set up a database using xampp ,(i have no idea how to)
*edit: since its a mobile web app, i want to test it from my mobile, is it possible by hosting it on my pc ? If yes, then how?
If you have the apache server running on xampp, you have to put the files in the /htdocs map. This is usually located in something like C:/xampp/htdocs. Then you go to your localhost in your browsers, so localhost and then /example.html.
This would be for example localhost/example.html, this would redirect to the example.html file in the htdocs folder.
Then if you want to set up an mySQL database you should take a look around at localhost/phpmyadmin
