This has happened on a number of occasions now where I move my site from Localhost to Live environment and the theme settings such as the logo, and other settings are not copied with it, so I am almost have to rebuild the site twice sometimes.
Responsive is one example where this is happening as well as numerous other themes I move from Localhost to Live environment.
Is there something I am missing when move the DB over? Perhaps another settings file?
Many thanks
Since I found this script, I have used it for every single move I make from Localhost to Live or vice versa.
It’s incredibly simple to use and has worked every time.

From their site:
You must use a safe search and replace method that preserves the integrity of the serialized string lengths. A simple find and replace of a dump file for http://localhost to, for example, http://examplesite.com is problematic because the length of the string changes but the indexes for the serialized strings does not. Consequently settings are lost and widgets disappear.
