Hello,
I love your themes. That’s why I got to the developer deal . Great .
Now my question . I have a site running on a host . The simplify extended theme . How can I copy the theme like it is on the host server to my local machine where I’m running XAMP .
I have allready got a local site running on it but I want to have a exact copy of the hostsite on my local machine.
I have copied all the files from the host to my local machine and changed the wp_config.php file so I can connect with the database and can run the theme (dashboard ) but I have not the same settings like on the host ?
It’s like its a fresh theme instead of the host theme . What is going on , what do I forget to do so that it’s the same layout ?
I want this to be the same so I can run and try stuff out locally and then make these alterations on the real website.
I hope you understand what I’m trying to do.

Would this work the other way around ? That would solve my problem for a big part.
