After I struggled with Duplicator, I tried All in One. The results were almost identical. That’s why I decided to come to the Elementor WP support page. Rightly or wrongly, I’m assuming it’s associated with the theme/builder tool more than the service used to package and move. Thanks for the suggestion.

An update to my earlier post:

I noticed the media library was not empty, but each file was broken (symbol). Checking further I see the path/URL for the images is bad.

It reads: “https://localhost/mysite.com/wordpress/C:xampphtdocsmysite.comwordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/LG-solar-panel_cr.jpg

The path to the example image (on my machine) is: “C://xampp/htdocs/mysite.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/LG-solar-panel_cr.jpg

I don’t see any way I can change a setting to impact the way the media URL is built. And I don’t understand the path including the “C:” and excluding the appropriate separators (“/”) in the building of the URL. Is it an Xampp artifact or setting?

Bottom line, the contents are moved. Just not accessible.

Not sure if adding to this “resolved” thread is the right thing. However, my problem is nearly exactly as stated by the OP. My steps:

Set up a new WP within a localhost folder (XAMPP)
Which included establishing a dummy DB
Complete installation of WP // Then install your migration tool // No other changes
Export installation (OceanWP theme) from live site. No deslections (i.e. include DB)
Import to localhost // Check permalinks (point to localhost correctly), Click twice

Result = No media files, but theme (and child which is active), plugins, and most text imported. Not all formatting working.

I checked the wp-config file on my localhost and it still points to my dummy DB. Is this not normally overwritten? I don’t find evidence of the live site DB installed anywhere within my Xampp folders either.

Am I also missing a step?

I may need a little more advice/help. The current plugin loads just before the </body> </html> This is clearly after the footer scripts load. When I tried putting it in the footer, it loaded later but just not at the end. Is it possible that WP overrides priorities? In other words, does it sort of collect scripts and load them in its own way?

Changing the dependencies may be my next effort, but for the plugin it may be tricky.
