Importing Live WP into a Local setting
After exporting the db from the live site, goto your local phpMyAdmin
Select your local wp database on the left, and then Import
Browse to your file, and then select Go
After the import you need to change two entries in the DB both are in wp_options
siteurl needs to be changed to your local site url &
home also needs to be changed to your local url
Also you will need to login with the live site user name and password, not the one you may have set up originally for the local site.
