Migrating from Flywheel to Local

I’m trying to migrate my site from Flywheel to Local by Flywheel.

So far I have…

  • Downloaded a backup of my site
  • Created a site on Local
  • Replaced the local demo wp-content with the backup wp-content
  • Imported the backup SQL
  • Run a search/replace using WP-CLI

Results:

All my CSS is there, but none of the content (pages, images, posts, etc.)

What do I need to do to fully create an accurate local version of my site? My goal is to have a local site to play around in and then eventually export to our Flywheel staging site, where (after additional changes) the changes can be made live.

Help appreciated!
