As a webmaster, sometimes we may encounter the replacement of the server or for the site to do a whole layout modification and upgrade, we first need to do is the database and the entire WordPress site theme and plug-ins and other related files for local backup. Personally think that if you want to make big changes to the site, such as changing the site framework or the structure of the site, it is best to transfer the entire site to the local run test, so as to ensure the progress and efficiency of the changes, do not need to change the effect of repeated upload overlay, You can test the entire site and then make the final upload.

So how do we transfer the WordPress site on the FTP server to the local? In fact, the main problem is the database modification, just began to encounter a lot of problems, the database import is smooth, but when you install a good WordPress program, because the domain name and login password are inconsistent, There are also file paths that need to be modified accordingly.

2. To the WordPress website program for the entire backup, we recommend that you first to the respective host provider above the file management in the compression, and then through the FTP download, so the speed will be faster.

5. In the critical step, first change the SiteURL field in the Wp_options table to a local URL in phpMyAdmin, such as changing the original domain name path http://www.php.cn/to local path http://www.php.cn/. Before encountering a problem is to import the database, in the address bar after entering http://www.php.cn/login will be directly jump to the online WordPress background management, rather than local background management. If the above problems occur, simply modify the SiteURL field URL to resolve.

6. Open the local WordPress folder in the wp-config.php file, the MySQL database user name to the root password if it is consistent with the database password of the online site, there is no need to change.

7. The last step in the Address bar, enter http://www.php.cn/to enter the local WordPress background Management General Options, the wordpress address (URL) and the site URL as shown:
