 * This is the error message how do I deal with this: Mysqldump was not found at
   its default location or the location
    provided. Please enter a path to a valid
   location where mysqldump can run. lf the problem persist contact your server 
   administrator.
 * When I log in to my site it tells me that the site some plugins are not up to
   date and that I am not on the latest version of WordPress but when I log in from
   MAMP I am up to date on WordPress and on the plugins
 * The link to my site is as follows
    [http://mikeherrmann.co.uk/wp-login.php](http://mikeherrmann.co.uk/wp-login.php)?
   user id root password Michael@1948

 * Hey Mike,
 * I hope this is a test account. Not sure why you would post your username and 
   password online??
 * Mysqldump access via PHP may not be on that host. I would double check with the
   server admin…
 * Thanks!

 * Hi Corrie
 * it is a test site i intend to change the user names and password when my issues
   have been resolved.
 * I am getting this error message when I connect via mamp locally on my computer
   but do not know where to find Mysqldump so that I can link to it
