Bringing up site from directories

Hi, I’m new here. I don’t have my WP site’s backup files, but I have the site directory downloaded from the server. Is it possible to bring the site up using the site folders and other files? If so, how can I do it?

I’m not sure what all you have @Roykay but you can always spin up a new, blank site in Local and then manually import your files.

In order to use Local’s native import you’d have to have a zip file that contained a WP Content directory and a SQL database, but if you just have media and content for example you can spin up your new site first and then start moving things in as mentioned.

We have some steps here that give you an idea:

Awesome! Thank you so much. Much appreciated.
