¿Quieres un espacio seguro para experimentar con tu sitio web WordPress sin miedo a romper algo en tu sitio en vivo?
Trasladar su sitio WordPress a un servidor local en su ordenador es la solución perfecta, en nuestra opinión, especialmente para desarrolladores, diseñadores o principiantes en WordPress.
Instalar WordPress en tu ordenador (servidor local) te permite aprender WordPress fácilmente y probar cosas. Cuando trasladas un sitio WordPress activo a un servidor local, te permite experimentar con los mismos datos que tu sitio activo.
En este artículo, le mostraremos cómo trasladar fácilmente un sitio WordPress activo a un servidor local.
¿Por qué y quién querría trasladar un sitio WordPress activo a un servidor local?
Si ha estado utilizando un sitio web WordPress durante algún tiempo, es posible que desee probar nuevos temas o un plugin. Sin embargo, hacer esto en un sitio web en vivo puede resultar en una mala experiencia de usuario para sus usuarios.
Para evitarlo, muchos usuarios crean una copia de su sitio web WordPress en un servidor local para probar nuevos temas, plugins o realizar pruebas de desarrollo.
Esto le permite configurar su tema con todo su contenido y probar todas las funciones sin preocuparse de romper su sitio. Muchos usuarios copian su sitio en un servidor local para practicar sus conocimientos de WordPress y codificación con datos reales del sitio.
Aunque puede realizar todas las pruebas con contenido ficticio en WordPress, los datos del sitio real le ofrecen una mejor representación visual de cómo aparecerán estos cambios en su sitio real.
Preparativos para trasladar un sitio local a un servidor local
En primer lugar, debes asegurarte de realizar siempre copias de seguridad de tu sitio web WordPress. Hay varios plugins de copia de seguridad de WordPress que puedes utilizar.
En segundo lugar, necesitas instalar un entorno de servidor local en tu ordenador. Puedes usar WAMP para Windows, y MAMP para Mac. Una vez que hayas configurado el entorno, necesitas crear una nueva base de datos usando phpMyAdmin.
Simplemente visite la siguiente URL en su navegador para iniciar phpMyAdmin.
http://localhost/phpmyadmin/
http://localhost:8080/phpmyadmin/
Desde aquí tienes que hacer clic en la pestaña “Bases de datos” y crear una nueva base de datos. Necesitarás esta base de datos más tarde para descomprimir los datos de tu sitio en vivo.
Ya está listo para mover su sitio WordPress activo al servidor local.
Método 1. Trasladar un sitio WordPress activo a un servidor local mediante un plugin
Este método es más sencillo y recomendable para todos los usuarios.
Lo primero que debe hacer es instalar y activar el plugin Duplicator. Para más detalles, consulta nuestra guía paso a paso sobre cómo instalar un plugin de WordPress.
Duplicator le permite crear fácilmente un paquete duplicado de todo su sitio web. Se puede utilizar para mover su sitio de WordPress a una nueva ubicación, y también se puede utilizar como un plugin de copia de seguridad.
Nota: Existe una versión gratuita de Duplicator con la que puede empezar. Sin embargo, Duplicator Pro viene con copias de seguridad ilimitadas y funciones más avanzadas.
Tras la activación, vaya a Duplicator Pro ” Copias de seguridad desde la barra lateral de administración de WordPress. Para crear un nuevo paquete, haga clic en el botón “Añadir nuevo”.
Duplicator iniciará el asistente de copia de seguridad.
En primer lugar, debe introducir un nombre para su paquete de copia de seguridad. También puede utilizar las etiquetas dinámicas para crear automáticamente un formato de nombre como la fecha y el título de su sitio.
A continuación, despliega la sección “Almacenamiento” y elige una ubicación de almacenamiento.
Para este tutorial, utilizaremos la ubicación predeterminada. Si lo deseas, puedes hacer clic en el enlace “Añadir almacenamiento” para añadir una nueva ubicación, como Dropbox o Google Drive.
Pulse el botón “Siguiente” para continuar.
El plugin escaneará su sitio web y realizará algunas comprobaciones. A continuación, le mostrará un resumen de esas comprobaciones.
Si todo parece correcto, haz clic en el botón“Crear copia de seguridad” para continuar.
Duplicator creará ahora el paquete de su sitio web.
Una vez que haya terminado, verá un archivo zip que contiene todos los datos de su sitio web, y un archivo de instalación. Debes descargar ambos archivos en tu ordenador.
Ya está listo para desempaquetar e instalar estos archivos en su servidor local.
En primer lugar, debe crear una nueva carpeta en la carpeta raíz de su servidor local. Esta es la carpeta donde su servidor local almacena todos los sitios web.
Por ejemplo, si estás usando MAMP, entonces será la carpeta /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/. Alternativamente, si está utilizando WAMP, entonces sería la carpeta C:\wamp\www\.
Dentro de esta carpeta, puede crear nuevas carpetas para cada nuevo sitio web que desee importar o crear en su servidor local.
A continuación, abra la carpeta que creó para su sitio web local y copie y pegue tanto el archivo zip como el script de instalación que descargó anteriormente.
Para ejecutar la instalación, debe abrir el script installer.php en su navegador web.
Por ejemplo, si ha pegado ambos archivos en la carpeta /mylocalsite/, accederá a ellos en su navegador visitando http://localhost/mylocalsite/installer.php.
Ahora verá el script de instalación de Duplicator así:
Pulse el botón “Siguiente” para continuar.
Duplicator descomprimirá el archivo zip y le pedirá que introduzca la información de la base de datos de su sitio local. Esta es la base de datos que creó anteriormente.
El nombre del servidor es casi siempre localhost y el nombre de usuario es root. En la mayoría de los casos, la instalación de su servidor local no tiene una contraseña establecida para root, por lo que puede dejarla en blanco.
En la parte inferior de la página, verás un botón “Probar base de datos” que puedes utilizar para asegurarte de que la información de tu base de datos es correcta.
Si todo parece correcto, haz clic en el botón “Siguiente” para continuar.
Duplicator importará su base de datos de WordPress. A continuación, le pedirá que vuelva a comprobar la información del nuevo sitio web que ha detectado automáticamente.
Pulse el botón “Siguiente” para continuar.
Duplicator finalizará la configuración y le mostrará un botón para iniciar sesión en su sitio local. Utilizará el mismo nombre de usuario y contraseña de WordPress que utiliza en su sitio activo.
Eso es todo, usted ha movido con éxito su sitio en vivo al servidor local.
Método 2. Trasladar manualmente un sitio WordPress activo a un servidor local
En caso de que el plugin no funcione para usted, siempre puede mover manualmente su sitio en vivo a un servidor local. Lo primero que necesitas es hacer una copia de seguridad manual de tu sitio web desde tu cuenta de alojamiento de WordPress.
Paso 1. Exporte la base de datos de WordPress de su sitio activo
Para exportar la base de datos de WordPress de su sitio web, debe acceder a su panel de control cPanel y hacer clic en phpMyAdmin.
Nota: Estamos mostrando capturas de pantalla del panel de control de Bluehost.
Dentro de phpMyAdmin, debe seleccionar la base de datos que desea exportar y luego hacer clic en la pestaña de exportación en la parte superior.
phpMyAdmin le pedirá que elija un método de exportación rápido o personalizado. Recomendamos utilizar el método personalizado y elegir zip como método de compresión.
A veces los plugins de WordPress pueden crear sus propias tablas dentro de su base de datos de WordPress. Si ya no utilizas ese plugin, el método personalizado te permite excluir esas tablas.
Deje el resto de las opciones como están y haga clic en el botón “Ir” para descargar la copia de seguridad de su base de datos en formato zip.
phpMyAdmin descargará ahora su archivo de base de datos. Para más detalles, consulte nuestro tutorial sobre cómo hacer una copia de seguridad manual de la base de datos de WordPress.
Paso 2. Descargue todos los archivos de WordPress
El siguiente paso es descargar los archivos de WordPress. Para ello, debe conectarse a su sitio de WordPress mediante un cliente FTP.
Una vez conectado, selecciona todos tus archivos de WordPress y descárgalos a tu ordenador.
Paso 3. Importe los archivos y la base de datos de WordPress al servidor local
Tras descargar los archivos de WordPress, deberá crear una carpeta en su servidor local en la que desee importar el sitio local.
Si usted está usando WAMP entonces usted querría crear una carpeta dentro de C:\wamp\www\ carpeta para su sitio local. Los usuarios de MAMP deberán crear una carpeta en /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/.
Después de eso, simplemente copie y pegue sus archivos de WordPress en la nueva carpeta.
A continuación, debe importar su base de datos de WordPress. Simplemente abre phpMyAdmin en tu servidor local visitando la siguiente URL:
http://localhost/phpmyadmin/
Como ya ha creado la base de datos anteriormente, ahora tiene que seleccionarla y, a continuación, hacer clic en la pestaña “Importar” de la parte superior.
Haga clic en el botón “Seleccionar archivo” para seleccionar y cargar el archivo de exportación de la base de datos que descargó en el primer paso. A continuación, haz clic en el botón “Ir” situado en la parte inferior de la página.
phpMyAdmin descomprimirá e importará su base de datos de WordPress.
Ahora que la base de datos está configurada, debe actualizar las URL de la base de datos de WordPress que hacen referencia al sitio activo.
Puede hacerlo ejecutando una consulta SQL en phpMyAdmin. Asegúrese de que ha seleccionado la base de datos de su sitio local y, a continuación, haga clic en SQL.
En la pantalla SQL de phpMyAdmin copie y pegue este código, asegúrese de reemplazar example.com con la URL de su sitio en vivo y http://localhost/mylocalsite con la URL del servidor local de su sitio.
UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = replace(option_value, 'https://www.example.com', 'http://localhost/mylocalsite') WHERE option_name = 'home' OR option_name = 'siteurl'; UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = replace(post_content, 'https://www.example.com', 'http://localhost/mylocalsite'); UPDATE wp_postmeta SET meta_value = replace(meta_value,'https://www.example.com','http://localhost/mylocalsite');
Esta consulta reemplazará las referencias a la URL de su sitio en vivo de la base de datos y la sustituirá por la URL localhost.
Paso 4. Actualizar el archivo wp-config.php
El último paso es actualizar el archivo wp-config.php de su sitio local. Este archivo contiene la configuración de WordPress, incluida la forma de conectarse a la base de datos de WordPress.
Simplemente vaya a la carpeta donde instaló WordPress en su servidor local y abra el archivo wp-config.php en un editor de texto como el Bloc de notas.
Sustituya el nombre de la base de datos por el que creó en phpMyAdmin en su localhost.
Después de eso, sustituya el nombre de usuario de la base de datos por su nombre de usuario MySQL local, normalmente es root. Si ha establecido una contraseña para el usuario root de MySQL en su localhost, introduzca esa contraseña. De lo contrario, déjela vacía y guarde los cambios.
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', 'database_name_here');
/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'username_here');
/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password_here');
Ahora puede visitar su sitio local en una ventana del navegador introduciendo la URL de la siguiente manera:
http://localhost/mylocalsite/
Sustituya ‘mylocalsite’ por el nombre de la carpeta donde ha copiado los archivos de WordPress.
Eso es todo, su sitio WordPress en vivo está ahora copiado en su servidor local.

Hi, just came across this tutorial today, I found out about some of the steps from other tutorials, but my problem is with the SQL Query. I get the error # MySQL returned an empty result set (i.e. zero rows). I followed all your steps about changing site names etc but cant work this one out and so obviously i cant then connect to the local site. I used the Duplicator before on another site but it wont work so good on this one because of all the images on my photo site, ie timeout issues. Kinda going around in circles here, so help would be good.
Thanks,
Joseph
Yarina
Joseph, check that the table prefix on the SQL tables you are working with are the same. I had this issue before when I didn’t realize that the theme I was copying from had a non typical prefix (wp_extra-text instead of just wp_). When you create the new db on phpMyAdmin, make sure that the prefix matches that of the old db. Hope this helps!
Alan OldStudent
I tried using Duplicator, and that worked with one minor glitch. So then I dropped the database and tried the manual method. All steps proceeded well until it came time to import. I recreated the database and went to import. Afterwards, I got this error message: “#1064 – You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘default’, ‘This is the default profile, used when no profile is specified.’, ‘a:’ at line 7”
To me that looks like gobbledygook. Do you have any idea what went wrong and how I can do the import manually?
Regards,
Alan
WPBeginner Support
This could be a syntax error or conflict caused by using different versions of MySQL. To solve this, when exporting your database choose the same MySQL version as your local install. Also make sure that you are using the same character set for both database tables.

Em Cloney
Just a quick thing I noticed: the Duplicator file is called “installer.php” rather than “install.php”.
Ben
I noticed the same thing. Great article, though. So glad I heard about this plugin from you guys.

Hi I decided to do it manually
I created a database for my Wordpress site on my local server and tried to import the database that I downloaded before to my computer but im getting this error message:
SQL query:
—
— Database: `aguilar_jmln1`
—
— ——————————————————–
—
— Table structure for table `gm_AnythingPopup`
—
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `gm_AnythingPopup` (

MySQL said:

Kin
It is saying that no database was selected.
Yeah I got that as well.
You need to make sure that you clicked on a database before hitting the ‘import”, if not the admin tool will try to import the .sql file on nothing!!

Wonderful tutorial on how to manually go through this process. Thank you for the clear directions and photos!

Hi, is Duplicator an acceptable method for keeping a backup website? I have been using BackWPup but it looks like Duplicator also allows you to create a backup…
Dennis Crayon
Hi I am not sure if I just got lucky but I was able to download and setup the local version quickly. The only problem I am having is that I have to set permalinks to default which is fine locally will I be able to set them back to post name later when I push the whole thing live? Thanks just getting this far is great
WPBeginner Staff
Yes, you can change permalinks after putting your site live.
Felix
Dennis, I am new to wordpress but I have so far learnt key configuration issues. Could you lease hel on changing permalinks from default to post name?
Iftikhar Raja
Just an observation to share.
If you choose custom structure as permalink, it might not work. The work around is to chose default permalink and save the changes. It worked for me after several hours of head scratching
Hope it helps
Mario
If you’re using WAMP you need to turn on mod_rewrite to enable custom permalinks.
Click Wamp -> Apache -> Apache Modules -> rewrite_module
WPBeginner Staff
It is usually enabled by default.
isboleas
Perfect! I did it manually just in wp-config.php must change and the line
/** MySQL hostname */
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘127.0.0.1 ‘);
With ip appear in phpmyadmin in left up corner.
Anindyo Yudhistiro
I’ve followed all the steps, but I still can’t see my database in my local wp. I still only have Hello World post.
I’ve imported it, change all the url’s, and many row has already affected.
Keith Davis
I used the manual method but the SQL query wouldn’t work for me.
I had to go into the wp-options and change url in siteurl and home table and then all was fine.
Keith Davis
Hi guys
The Duplicator method looks good.
Do you know how much free disc space you need to create the packages?
Nana
Any ideas why it gives me a “Welcome to the famous five-minute install” screen?
WPBeginner Staff
It is possible that your WordPress URL and Site URL are set to localhost/xammp. If you can access the admin area go to settings and set it to your WordPress install directory.
Je
I checked and it’s definitely not set to that. It is so strange!
Je
I figured it out. It was the W3 cache in the htaccess file causing problems. Thanks for you help and for this awesome tutorial!
Jen
Great tutorial, I did everything exactly like you said….I thought it was working until I tried to change the theme and it wouldn’t change. Then I started trying to navigate to other pages and it took me to localhost/xammp. Everytime. Any ideas?
dion
Hi. I did all of this(using the manual option, but when I click on any option, ie login or one of the menu options, I get “the requested URL … was not found on this server”
wagster
If you copy the SQL query straight off the screen above, you will get the line numbers as well, which will throw an error like the above. Click ‘View source’ and copy the clean code from there.
MrDev
Thanks for this article. I tried the manual route of moving a WordPress site to localhost, however my stylesheets are not loading. For some reason the ‘href’ is not being set on all my stylesheets. Any idea what might be going on?
WPBeginner Staff
We would feel more confident recommending BackupBuddy for backups.
NikkiC4lyf
Would you recommend using the Duplicator plugin for doing backups as well as moving sites?
Kin Tatsu
Great tutorial! The problem I’m having is when I login to to wp-admin with the same login and password I used for my live site I get “ERROR: Invalid username. Lost your password?” The username and password are correct for the live site but incorrect for the localhost site. I tried to retrieve password with my email address but it says that my email address is not registered. Any ideas?

I have only one word about this steps…AAWWEESSOOMMEE!!!!
StefsterNYC
Did you check your Prefixes?
pels
got same error
StefsterNYC
You may have missed a table or something. Do a search for the old prefix. Also make sure you’re using a fresh new WP-CONFIG. I find that sometimes that messes things up.
StefsterNYC
Sorry for the delay Mark. Not sure I understand your question. Hopefully I can answer something here.
If you started with a config file and it originally started with the wp_ and you didn’t use a custom one you’ll be fine. Just remember the config has to match the DB. If you worked locally and are migrating everything to a live site and you use the same DB and same Config that you worked locally with everything should be fine. Just remember to change Username, Password and Hostname.
The key here to remember here is Prefixes. So many people teach you how to do this and that but they miss the one thing that can mess it all up for you. And that is the Prefix.
And User Roles, if missed can cause a major headache when adding Admins manually. So be careful when changing and working with prefixes. They are absolutely a great way to tighten up WP sites. I highly recommend using a custom prefix always. dbh_234_ something like that is a great way to protect your site(s).
WPBeginner Staff
If your live site’s mysql host is not localhost, then you need to change it to localhost. You may also need to change the database name to the database on your local computer. Same goes for DB username which is usually root on local servers, and db password which is usually blank.
Mark
Hi just to be clear the password in the config.php file should be the same as the one you use for myphpadmin? because that seems to work for me?
StefsterNYC
Great tutorial. I believe one thing was missed. Prefix. For those of you that use a prefix in the config, make sure when you query the db you change the wp for the query to your prefix. Otherwise your query won’t reset the urls correctly.
Mark
If I have a local install and I move the database live, the prefix will remain the same correct? Do I need to do anything?

These instructions are exactly what I needed. Thank you!!!
However, I seem to have encountered a problem…
When updating the URLs in my database for those of the local server, it returns a #1064 – error in your SQL syntax near line 3. Could you possibly suggest a solution?
Would I need to include the port number when updating the http://localhost/ part of the code?
Please Help!!

One more newbie trouble here! Sorry for the inconvenience.
Of course, I think I’ve done everything correctly (probably not). When I try to access the site via localhost, in the screen appears the index.php file line by line, instead of loading it.
Any ideas?

This was fantastic. Super quick and worked exactly as intended.

After transferring the live site to my local server (wamp), I navigate to the destination in browser and get a “Not Found” wordpress error. The site’s navigation loads though and when clicked it takes me to the live site. Am I missing something rudimentary?

Hi,
I followed your tutorial on doing it manually to the T, but I still get an error message. I am pulling my hair, here…
I’m pretty new to WP and I still have to figure out how to actually enter the new content and modify the files… but I can’t even get it to work locally
This is the message I get:
“Error establishing a database connection”
Which I don’t understand, because I did everything as you said in your tutorial.
Help, please!!
Natalia
Tried it all over again a second time and still same error message… I’m going crazy
Natalia
I even tried in a remote server and I got the same error message. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong… there must be a path somewhere that I’m forgetting about and it’s just not reading the right db…
Someone, please, help!!
WPBeginner Support
Natalia, the most common cause for this error is incorrect database information. On your live site, you need to edit your wp-config.php file. Make sure that the database information in this file matches the database you have created for your live site.

Thank you, your site is super helpful. New to WP, inherited a site, got it localhost so I can learn/test. When trying to ‘upload’ a pic, get this: C:/wamp/www/testsite/wp-content/uploads. Is its parent directory writable by the server? No errors shown in phpMyAdmin, permissions on folders, users look right. Could you possibly direct me to a solution? Have looked everywhere I can think of. Thanks.
WPBeginner Support
When you moved the site to localhost, did you change the siteurl and homeurl options? If you didn’t then you need to add these two lines to your
wp-config.phpfiledefine('WP_HOME','http://localhost/yoursite'); define('WP_SITEURL','http://localhost/yoursite');1-click Use in WordPress

Hi, I’m trying to do exactly this, but I get a 500 Internal Server Error right after I put the database details and hit the Run Deployment button, I get the progress animation and after about 10 or 15 seconds I get the error.
I was looking at the error logs located at C:\wamp\logs and I could only find this line that seemed somewhat relevant: “Invalid command ‘RewriteOptions’, perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration”.
I’ve successfully used duplicator in the past, but going from webserver to another webserver.

Good guide, but I think you missed the part where you update wp-config.php with the new database details – name is the new name, username is ‘root’ and password is empty.
I tried it manually and it all looks good but the links take me to the WAMP server configuration page, even though the URLs are updated – can’t figure it out. I can get the home page and admin, but that’s it. Cheers!
WPBeginner Support
Thanks for pointing out updating wp-config.php thing. We have updated the article.
As for your redirection issue. Try deleting .htaccess file from wordpress installation on your localserver.

Awesome, thanks! I removed the .htaccess, then visited the permalinks option page and saved and now we’re good! I should admit, the only reason I knew about the wp-config.php settings is because I’ve read your previous articles. Keep up the great work!
