Moving WordPress Site to localhost

Hi guys,
I would like to move my live site from wordpress nomadry.com to my local computer (localhost) and make changes. For this I have made all the necessary requirements and downloaded and installed both filezilla to get my current files and xampp to run it on the localhost. Also, I have exported my current database from phpmyAdmin and copied it to xampp.
However now when i want to run the site on localhost i get the following error message:

Warning: require_once(C:\xampp\htdocs\nomadry\wp-content\plugins\hivepress/includes/class-core.php): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampphtdocs\nomadry\wp-content\plugins\hivepress\hivepress.php on line 24

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Failed opening required 'C:\xampp\htdocs\nomadry\wp-content\plugins\hivepress/includes/class-core.php' (include_path='C:\xampp\php\PEAR') in C:\xampp\htdocs\nomadry\wp-content\plugins\hivepress\hivepress.php:24 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampphtocs\nomadry\wp-settings.php(453): include_once() #1 C:\xampphtocs\nomadry\wp-config. php(81): require_once('C:\xampp\\htdocs...') #2 C:\xampp\htdocs\nomadry\wp-load.php(50): require_once('C:\xampp\htdocs...

Here is the code in this C:\xampphtdocs\nomadry\wp-content\plugins\hivepress\hivepress.php file:

<?php
/**

 * @package HivePress
 */

// Exit if accessed directly.
defined( 'ABSPATH' ) || exit;

// Define the core file.
if ( ! defined( 'HP_FILE' ) ) {
define( 'HP_FILE', __FILE__ );
}

// Include the core class.
 require_once __DIR__ . '/includes/class-core.php';

/**
 * Returns HivePress core instance.
 *
 * @return HivePress\Core
 */
function hivepress() {
return HivePress\Core::instance();
}
// Initialize HivePress.
 hivepress();

Did anybody else got this problem? Or how did u guys move your website to localhost? Also with filezilla (copy current wp-content and wp-config.php) and xampp (adding wordpress folder from wordpress download and changing wp-content and wp-config-php)?
Thank u very much guys!! :slight_smile:

Hi,

We have already replied to you by email.

But we’ll publish it again; maybe it will be useful for other users.

This maintenance and development issue is not specific to HP functionality.

I recommend reading this tutorial and check this plugin:

Or consider hiring someone for custom work https://fvrr.co/32e7LvY

Why don’t you use Akeeba backup and akeeba kickstart for wordpress ? For me, it is really the best extension : akeeba backup to backup your online website, then akeeba kickstart to restore it anywhere (download the akeeba kickstart files in the localhost / wamp directory, download also your backup file there (.jpa), then access to you yourlocalhostwebsiteurl/kickstart.php and let’s do the magic !)
