Hmm indeed. wp-admin, wp-content etc are not databases; they are directories containing WordPress scripts.
If you want to copy your database, you need to use PHPadmin (or similar) and export the database, then import it on your live site
So maybe I mixed up something. I have only copied my directory of my website as you mentioned to my livehost. I haven’t touch database in phpmyadmin. What should i do with it?
Open up phpmyadmin on your local machine and export your database to your desktop. See my post above.
ok, downloaded it and search it out. You were right first two are set up for localhost
So now I have this file sql on my desktop. I searched out for local and exchange them. What’s a next step?
Now open up phpmyadmin in your hosting account where you want your live site to be. Empty the database you have there and import this database that you have on your desktop that you just edited.
YUPI!! It works guys!!! Thank you very much for resolving it. I was struggling with it for days… “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” Thank you again:)
