Your .htaccess should contain the folowing : <code> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /wordpress/ RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L] </code> It helped me with the issue that you are describing. Hope that is what you need. Good luck and keep it up!!

I have been sratching my head over how to do this simply, my plan is to do local, controlled builds of my wordpress for editing and content creation offline then commit to my site once everyhting is in order. This means i can work offline at any point now and commit the changes later! Brilliant. Now if I could find away to comit only 'changes' to save on badwidth that would be amazing. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks for the advice.

You can just upload theme and they should work fine if you coded them the right way and regarding content, the database should reflect the new URL in the options table. Right now busy with my schedule so can't write a full post about it. Post content or themes?

When you encounter the error page, check the address bar and you will realize that URL don't exist on localhost. Hope that helps :) @Wes

Running them services may cause issue, also try running them normally. Other than this you can also try reinstalling XAMPP or install any other web server software. Hope that helps. @Erica
