 * The laptop I was working on recently crashed. But, I managed to get everything
   on it backed up, including my recent WordPress project off of my local server(
   I use MAMP).
 * I uploaded my SQL database and copied the WordPress website folder into my local
   server. The WordPress login interface looks normal, but after you get the login,
   it looks like this screenshot: [http://abrielshipley.com/wp-issue.png](http://abrielshipley.com/wp-issue.png)
 * Is there something I missed when transferring my WordPress project from my old
   local server to the new one?
 * Any suggestions is greatly appreciated! 🙂

 * Off the top of my head, it looks like the CSS may not be loading.
 * Some ideas:
    1. For grins, empty the cache for your browser to make sure there’s
   not something up there. 2. Visit the update area of the wp-admin (wp-admin/update-
   core.php) and reinstall the latest version. Maybe something didn’t copy over 
   quite right.

 * Thanks for the advice!
 * I actually asked this on WordPress Stackexchange as well, and here’s the results
   of what happened: [link](http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/73389/wordpress-admin-interface-not-styled-properly)
 * Basically, I had to insert PHP to define the site URLs in the `wp-config.php`
   file.
    define(‘WP_HOME’,’[http://example.com&#8217](http://example.com&#8217););
   define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’[http://example.com&#8217](http://example.com&#8217););

 * That’ll do it too!
 * With a localhost->localhost transition, I assumed the URL ([http://localhost/foobar](http://localhost/foobar))
   would have been the same… but assumptions often are the mother of screwups, eh?
 * Glad you’re back up.
