Q:

WordPress site does not display content

I migrated a live site to my system and ran it via xampp.  I am unable to see the contents of the page ( I can see the page loads fine but no text is displayed and site keeps connecting to the live site).  Please advice me what needs to be done.  Thanks. 

A:

An over simplified version of doing this is to download WordPress Serialized Search and Replace tool And drop it onto your server go to the location of where you have uploaded it.  Then simply search for your old url, and replace with the new.  This will do this for every post type, post data and if your theme has settings it will also replace in the settings.  Regards TTech 
Second thing you could do is this method and start your move from scratch
https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/  Download and install this plugin on server 1, active the plugin select it from the menu, run through the steps.  
You will get 2 files, an installer and a file zip.  upload both to server 2.  go to http://yoursite.co.uk/installer.php and run through the steps
Bingo site has moved.
