Local to Live (First Time)

I am following these instructions and seem to have done something wrong during the export/edit/import stages. Somewhere along the export/edit/import part of the process I messed up and I’m just trying to find a good starting point to check my mistake.

I chose the second option and opted to do each part of the process manually as I’m not sure if the WordPress Importer tool will properly import my simple, one page “coming soon” section with the media attached (one picture as the background) that I developed using the Divi theme.

So for my second attempt at step one I went into localhost/MAMP and accessed phpMyAdmin and did a quick export to sql format.

For step two, modifying the filepaths, I’d really appreciate some clarity as I’m half certain I’m doing something wrong. I’ve got Notepad++ installed and ready.
