I’m new to web devlopment and am trying to host a local version of my existing WordPress site. The manual import option via a .zip file failed so I am attempting to import my site manually using these instructions: Import/Export a WordPress Site - Local
I’m at the step where I try to overwrite the database with my extracted SQL file. When I open the Local Site Shell and enter the “wp db import database.sql” command I receive the following error: “Error: Failed to get current SQL modes. Reason: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ‘root’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES)”
I’m unsure of what I need to do to get around this. Where do I find the credentials? Where do they need to be entered? I utilize shared hosting through Hostek, in case that information changes things.
Local Version 9.2.0+6762
