Hi all,
I have used Duplicator Pro to back up my site ( which uses the themify plugin) to a local WAMP installation .
Now I am far from a professional developer, but I installed an additional PHP version, got my mysql database imported properly and at a first glimpse it all seemed to be unicorns and rainbows and it seemed I could start working on my site.
Unfortunately I am running into a strange URL problem.
You see my original site had a file path like this:
www.mywebsite.com/wp-content/uploads/year/month/filename.png
And I expected to get a "local" link like this:
localhost/mywebsite/wp-content/uploads/year/month/filename.png
Instead I get this:
localhost/mywebsite/C:/wamp64/wwww/mywebsite/wp-content/uploads/year/month/filename.png
So for some reason it injects this into the URL:
C:/wamp64/wwww/mywebsite/
Now if it was just an aesthetic problem I wouldn't mind, but it defaults to this link and thusfar I have found that it is impossible to install plugins and browse to upload images to the new site ...yes I can do everything by hand but I rather just fix it, as at some point I need to reimport it to the live environment and I would like to minimise the possible ef ups as much as possible.
I have contacted support for the plugin as well as the theme and posted on Wordpress support, but at this point I have only gotten some basic responses ( send log files, try XAMP, I don't have that problem when I do it) and I honestly think this file path must be defined somewhere and therefore it should be editable.
But I can't find where it is as none of the topics I have found are related to the issue I have
Thanks in advance for the help
