Transfer Live Site to Local Development
I’ve just installed XAMPP to work on my site privately with localhost. Of course my site is already live so I dumped the database (every table) with phpmyadmin and imported it to my localhost environment after installing Textpattern. Everything seems to go well. All of my content (articles, stylesheets, forms, etc.) is intact and the site runs locally. My only problem seems to be with CSS. All of my unordered lists have bullets when they should have “list-style: none;” and some divs are out of place. Any ideas on this? I’ve adjusted all paths and downloaded images, and grabbed anything else outside the database to replicate the site locally but clearly something is missing.
Please help! If more information is required I will happily oblige.

Re: Transfer Live Site to Local Development
Your browser?
Do you have local CSS rules eg in Firefox?

Searching for list-style in your CSS I find for your right sidebar:
#sidebarTwo li.sort {
margin: 0.5em 0.2em;
list-style: circle inside;
letter-spacing: 2px;
text-transform: uppercase;

Re: Transfer Live Site to Local Development
I have no such rules lest they be there by default. I don’t understand why the site should look different in a local environment versus a web environ. It seems you caught something though! I have a feeling there’s more to it, but just in case I’ll scan through my stylesheets carefully.
Hmmm…. now I can’t access my local dev. :( The site works still, but for some reason the Textpattern backend isn’t coming up. Weird..
EDIT: I failed to thank you for your response, Markus. I very much appreciate it. Thank you.
