It’s already unzipped!

When you download a .zip file, OS X automatically unzips it in a folder with the same name as the original file.

I would guess wordpress is the database name you provided during the install. Have you created the database in your server?

Check the Installing WordPress codex page for installation details. There is also have a section with Common Installation Problems.

You could install WP in a subdir, like /content, but that isn’t the most elegant solution.

I would create a custom theme, design my landing page as a custom page, and use it as a static home page.

Maybe splitting the background and having the giraffe as background to the sidebar hosting the menu could work.

The design is cute – I love giraffes! – but I think it still needs some more work to get things working properly.

Good luck!

This is actually not an issue with WP itself, but it is actually a symptom of WordPress hitting the limits that PHP has as default.

Here’s a more detailed explanation and solution: The WordPress Menu Item Limit or: Help! Half my menu items just disappeared!

Yes, you are basically running the same blog at two different addresses. Deleting the files won’t hurt your database, I’m pretty sure you can safely delete the failed clone folder.

Manual migrations are, well, manual. It takes a little work, but they are not impossible. Practice a little more and you will be acing it in no time!

Good luck!

Hi!

You probably used the same database and table prefix while installing WP in the /demo folder.

Check the wp-config.php in both folders and se if the $table_prefix var is the same on both.

In any case, deleting files will hardly mess with the database, but backing up everything is always a good measure.

Cheers!
