    Hello Experts,

    I am having some problems getting a WordPress site opening on the web.

    The site works quite well on my localhost.

    I am using File Zilla to upload the files and that seems all OK.

    I have a question in my mind concerning the uploading of the database phpMyAdmin

    I open localhost:8080/php/phpMyAdmin which shows the list of databases.

    I select the applicable database that I wish to upload and open this.

    The fields all show.

    No data has been entered yet.

    I select Export and create a new template.

    To make sure I UPDATE the template.

    Export method (standard) Quick Display

    Format SQL

    I select Export all seems OK

    I go to the site and see a Circle going round.

    Has anyone any ideas what may be going wrong please?

    Thanks

    John H

    You must not only export the database but also import it into the hosting where the website is to run. If you don’t know how to do this there, it’s best to contact the support team of the hoster who provides you with the hosting there.

    Thanks for your answer threadi.

    I have since discovered that the site is working OK but I can only open the site by going to wp-login.php and enter the details required.
