Trouble importing my live site locally

Support
1

Im using local by flywheel, Here are the steps i have taken so far:

  1. Installed local by flywheel and created a site called stage
  2. Downloaded the website from CPanel and also the SQL database
  3. Imported the database in admirer (but the links are all the same, How can i change them?)
  4. Deleted the ‘wp_content’ folder in the flywheel site and added the ‘wp_content’ folder from my wordpress site there instead
  5. Set the theme as the old one and reactivated all of the plugins

And i still dont have any of the data showing an none of the styling either. Does anyone know what im doing wrong?

The easiest way to go about this would be to create a zip file that contains the wp-content folder along with the database dump.

This help doc goes over that process in more detail:

Can you re-try importing the site following the above guide and let me know how that goes?
