esmi, I’ve been working on my new theme on my localhost and I just uploaded to my live site. When I look at it through Theme Test Drive, I don’t see any of the customizations I’ve made. I took the theme folder under htdocs in xampplite in my C drive, where it told me to install WordPress. What am I missing???

Anybody?

So.. I imported my backup to my localhost. It turned my local WP control panel into my existing live one. I had to delete the database and start over.

How can I import data without turning an account into the one imported from? I’m using WordPress Database Backup plugin to create my backup.

Can I copy my WP backup so that I can play with the actual data?

I backed up the data just before I did a preview. Does that include sidebar setting?

Still nothing in sidebar. Ugh!!!!

Hmm. Will it be a one step process to change to that new theme, once I set it up?

Themes are kind of tricky to me because I wouldn’t know all the options until I activate it.

Will I not lose anything by doing that??

It was a plugin issue. Apparently the latest upgrade on the plugin caused it. I deactivated it, along with deactivating the super cache, and it was restored. Thank you.

Never mind, I found my answer.

I understand that. I guess the part I don’t understand is the relationship. I just tried two links, one parent and one child, but all it did was to list those two links at the nav bar, side by side. How do I make it show hierarcy, or one below the other?

I don’t know if the site url will help here but https://divabenefits.com. The trouble is this theme doesn’t accommodate drop down menu, and what I’m trying to do is to understand what “Links” are or how to add them to the nav bar.

Also, if there’s a plugin that lets me do what I’m trying to do, please let me know. I don’t mind editing in DreamWeaver, but I’d rather keep just one place to do all editing if I can.
