aaahhh!!! ok I’m seriously starting to doubt myself here. I’m pretty sure I followed those steps James, here is what I did:

used fantastico in my hosts control panel to create a wordpress install.

went to my ftp app and noticed that this install was a fresh one, so I deleted all the files on the server side and replaced them with the local wordpress content and theme files.

I then edited the .sql and replaced all the “https://localhost:8888/wordpress” with “https://elliotnewman.com/enphotography” – I think about 180 replacements…

then I imported this file into the database though the myPHPAdmin of my web host, all appeared ok…

I then checked the URL in the settings:general section of my worpress admin page, and these had been set up correctly.

But now when you visit the site:

https://elliotnewman.com/enphotography2/

I have no content at all. – just the theme seems to be working.

Is there something I am missing?

Thanks Happeh, before I get stuck in, can I try and translate back to you so I am sure I understand…

upload entire wordpress to remote host using filezilla.
open the wp-config.php file and replace parts of the local install such as this section: (is there anything that shows me in more detail how and what to change here?)

// ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’);
/** MySQL database username */
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘root’);
/** MySQL database password */
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘root’);
/** MySQL hostname */
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost:8889’);
/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);
/** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

Using MAMP – access the myPHP Admin page and export a database.
Using fantastico on my web host control panel install wordpress (not sure why I need to do this since I already uploaded it via filezilla?)
Using web host myPHP Admin – import database file

Done?
Happah – I guess I am a little confused about what you mean when you say “drop the tables”…?

Is there anything I am missing here?

Thanks for helping this poor deprived soul.

I’ve been reading through the documentation, and as I understand it, you essentially modify the CSS based on a chosen theme? for example make the content area wider, change the background color and swap it for an image etc
