Please bid $40 (you can bid less but bids higher will be ignored, including freelancer commission) I need to work on a currently live WordPress website offline so my modifications do not affect the live site. (To be done via TeamViewer) - You will need to use XAMPP which I have installed - Currently running Windows 7 - FileZilla will be up and running and connected to the site files - DO NOT MODIFY LIVE SITE - Will also have the WordPress dashboard to the site and the [login to view URL] hosting account logged into I have already downloaded the database which is in Downloads > [login to view URL] I have downloaded the latest WordPress which is in Downloads > [login to view URL] I thought I had successfully implemented the site files with the WordPress files and Database. I have successfully had WordPress running locally on my machine at 127.000.1/wp2. This was working fine but was just a blank WordPress dashboard ready to build a site from scratch. However, I need to work on an existing site for a client. I downloaded what I thought were the appropriate files via FTP (FileZilla) and put them in my C://xampp/htdocs/sitename (the folder named wp2 is the latest attempt) When I attempt to boot up the local site at 127.000.1/wp2/ I get the error message: Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_post_format_slugs() in C:\xampp\htdocs\wp2\wp-includes\[login to view URL] on line 1420 The client's site has several plugins that need updating which he was hesitant about doing so. I followed tutorials to download and run the WordPress site locally. I would like somebody who is extremely familiar downloading and working on WordPress sites offline. I Googled the error and I think it might have to do with the theme or plugins not being up to date. But I am sick of fiddling with it myself and my deadline is too close for comfort. NOTES: - my localhost cannot be accessed via Chrome (due to current settings I guess) - need to go to Firefox and type in 127.000.1/.... to access the localhost. - contact me before updating any themes or plugins on the live site HOW TO GET ME TO HIRE YOU: - Explain in your own words what my issue is (and how you could fix it) - Have a decent profile and/or prove to me your skills otherwise - Live in a Western Country or Israel and speak English well (Australians will get top priority) - Have Teamviewer - be ready to start and/or finish within the next couple of hours. (preferably no longer than 3 hours) - although this should be an hour's work at most - have a 20% milestone request with your bid If you do this fast and efficient and I understand what you did I will tip up to an extra 50% ($20 AUD)

I'm not sure if you should spend money on this. Are you sure that you followed these directions step-by-step? https (colon slash slash) [login to view URL] (slash) how-to-create-a-local-copy-of-a-live-wordpress-site You said you copied the SQL database file, and you copied all of the relevant files from the DB (are you sure you have wp-content,wp-includes, etc.?) So you should be in good shape. There are only tiny tiny small changes to make if you have done those two steps correctly. If you follow the above link you should be able to resolve it yourself. If not, shoot me a message. -William
