Hey everyone, I apologize for my lack of knowledge in this matter in advance.
I have created a website in my local computer using xamp and haven´t touched it in a while. If I turn xamp on I can easily access the website by typing the domain and see everything as it should be.
I recently purchased a hosting service to upload this same website but when I use the [http://localhost/wordpress\_folder\_name](http://localhost/wordpress_folder_name) link to access the wordpress thing I get a broken version of the website.
I would really appreciate if someone could help me in this matter as I am new to website building.

How did you perform the migration?
Presumably the new hosted version that you set up will be using a new domain name, so you would access it via example.com/wp-admin, not localhost.
You will also need to install a plugin called Better Search Replace and use it to perform a find/replace for http://localhost/wordpressfolder/ > https://example.com/
You need to do this because WordPress stores URLs in absolute format, so all the links in your public website will still be referring to localhost
