hey nuts and bolts

i have thoroughly gone through your tutorial on how to set up a test site but i am getting

Oops! Google Chrome could not find dev.alexpinches.com

Did you mean: alexpinches.­com

i have changed the site names in the database to dev.alexpinches.com, filled out the config and replaced it. i am unsure where i have gone wrong. i have looked over it many times. have you got any idea where something may have gone amiss.

Thanks Alex

hey i am a little stuck going through the steps on your website. http://www.nutsandboltsmedia.com/how-to-create-a-test-site-for-customizing-your-genesis-child-theme/#/

step three you say to copy and paste all items into your sub-domain folder. there is no way of pasting after copying the files.

do you download then upload? i feel like a bit of a fool for asking this but i cant seem to see the solution.

i found a link to your site on creating a test site. your website is great by the way.

i have to ask. after creating your subdomain do you develop in a text edit program? my original plan was to create a local environment and make changes with dreamweaver, but i am wrapping my head around your process a little better i think.

That's tryed. Dam predicted text.

Yes I tyres the sub domain way but downloading all the content through cpanel did not happen with ease. I will give transmit a go. Would you say creating a subdomin is a smoother workflow than setting up a local environment? Why?

Thanks for your help. Alex

Hi anitac

i have been trying to download everything through cpanel but i am unable to do it cleanly. i have since tryed to connect through Dreamweaver and download the files but when testing with mamp/localhost i can activate my theme but my site content is not there. i have tryed to export from wordpress but i only get the xml or something. how do you work with that?

what steps do you take to get your live site into your local environment ???

Thanks
