I have to upload an old website designed with wordpress into an ftp. I have all files (wp content-with his images, wp admin, wp include and all php stuff) but no mysql database. Can I restore his website to a new ftp, or without the mysql database all is lost?
You can upload your content with ftp but to run your website you need database, Of you have not then you will not able to see the content of your website. Database is must of your website.

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've been working on a Wordpress website on my web hosting server. But I wanted to start doing the Wordpress changes locally, while still using the database with all the posts and stuff that's already on the server.
I installed Wordpress on my computer, and had it connect successfully to that database, but going to localhost/website/wp-admin would redirect me to www.site.com/website/wp-admin, and then proceed to do everything on the server again, which I didn't want, and localhost/website would just appear blank.
I tried having Wordpress use a new test_database on the server, and it was happy with that. Wordpress started to run locally, localhost/website wasn't black, while using a database on the server. Even when I wiped out my local Wordpress and reinstalled it connecting to test_database, all the posts remained intact, and Wordpress was still running locally.
How come I was unable to get Wordpress running locally when I tried to connect to the first database?
You're trying to use the same WordPress database instance on two different URLs. You Can't Do That™. Someplace in the options table is the database's URL. It's used to construct many links in WordPress. That's why you're jumping back to the production server.
You can use a plugin like Duplicator to make a copy of your production web site to use as a staging server, or vice versa.
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 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.
https://www.apachefriends.org/
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 created a website using Code Ignitor and MySQL and want to upload everything to 000webhost.com
How do I:
upload my models, views and controllers to the public_html folder of 000webhost?
get my MySQL database up and running on 000webhost?
Thanks in advance
I am presuming that your control panel is cPanel. If thats the case then upload all your files in the web root of the server. Create a database, and change that details in database.php inside config folder. thats it, your site will be up and running.
Your .htaccess (at least mod_rewrite for codeigniter) will not work if you use the free 000webhost service (at least the last time i wanted it, the support told me that they doesn't support it... that was thy time i signed up for their free service for private test of scripts i wrote). Another thing is that for the free hosting they use their own control panel (not cPanel), cPanel is for the paid accounts.
Anyway they both offer ftp accounts, mysql databases and of course web ftp (online file manager). All you need is a ftp client (such as FileZilla or even Windows Explorer itself).
