 * I tired downloading Instant word-press but nothing just opens up to blank page
   and says redirecting and that’s all it does 🙁

 * I have been using Instant WordPress for several months with no issues. I also
   bought his ebook which explains how to move your site back and forth between 
   online and offline.

 * I’ve downloaded instant wordpress and it won’t open to the control panel. I followed
   instructions under FAQ for windows 7 all to no avail. I’ve closed firewalls, 
   turned off internet security, clicked on windows 7 compatibility and etc. I just
   get a blank screen that eventually says internet access denied. Anyone else found
   a way around this?

 * Hi Gomango
 * I am happy to hear someone that has success using InstantWordPress. I downloaded,
   installed on a working WordPress site, created a local site, modified/added content
   without so much as a problem of any kind. So clean and easy I felt buying the
   book and following the setp-by-step instructions would be the fastest, easiest,
   most accurate method of updating the online website. I found the ebook vauge 
   and incomplete in the logic but followed it to the “T” anyhow. After a few days
   I find two things. 1-I have read and followed the ebook exactly. 2- You seem 
   to be the only person that I have found that is successful using InstantWordPress
   to go back and forth between online and offline. Any hints or help would be much
   appriciated. I would write the author but I wrote him about a week ago (different
   matter) and have not received a reply although he took my money for the ebook“
   instantly”.

 * Rather than bringing back to life an old thread (which isn’t really about your
   topic) why not just start your own topic instead?

 * BTW moving from a localhost installation to an online one is 100% identical to
   moving from one site to the other.

 * Your server name and URL change from the `localhost:4001` to `your-real-wordpress-
   url.com`. Same work as in that link.
