Setting up a duplicate blog
-
Hi I have a WordPress blog on paid webspace, and I also have some free webspace with a different URL. I thought I would set up a duplicate website (1) to check that I could backup and re-import correctly, and (2) to test some possible changes in the design.
I have installed WordPress and the theme, copied across the style, functions.php and a couple of other files that are needed, and it all works fine – except of course it has no content.
Then I exported the database using phpMyAdmin, and imported it to the backup site, but now I don’t seem to be able to make it work. For example, attempting to login takes me to the original website.
Presumably this is because the database contains some information that is specific to the original website. Can anyone tell me what that might be and where it is please? Or is it more trouble than I thought to copy a WP blog to a new URL?
Thanks.
