'Migrating Live/production WordPress site to Laragon
I'm trying to set up my Live WordPress site into a local environment, Laragon. I have tried using a plugin call WPvivid, but it does not seem to be working correctly. So, that leaves me with 1) use another plugin or 2) manually move the site over, I would like to learn the latter. I understand how to move the Database over and edit the config file to connect to the server. The problem is when I move the WP-content file over to the local WordPress site noting is happening, I have no content available to me.
Thanks for the help!

What you need to do is
- Quick create -> wordpress
- access the local url you made
- select the language (wordpress set up)
- before setting up the id and password of wordpress (do not save the info), find your new local wordpress folder.
- copy and paste the original "wp-content" file you had (the file of live wordpress site) to change the local wp-content file.
- copy and paste the original "sql" file you had (the file of live wordpress site) to change the local wp-content file. To do that, access to yoururl/phpmyadmin, and change import the sql file you had.
- after that, finish the 3rd process.
It would be easy if you find a great video of explaining this procedure.
