Probably the problem is caused by 4. WordPress stores some data as serialized arrays. When you change the domains this data gets corrupted – read http://php.net/manual/en/function.serialize.php (Anatomy of a serialize()’ed value part will explain you everything).
How to resolve it? Use
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-migrate-db/
It will convert data correctly.
