I migrated my wordpress website into my local machine, but it’s redirecting me to the original ,-server one-, website, immediately after I opennig the local one.
I try to describe what did I do as detailed as much I can:
- First I got all wp files and copied-d it to my local XAMPP htdocs directory via SHH (FROM Linux Debian 10 – Apache 2 Webserver).
- After that I exported the database (exported to sql file format).
- I created the same database and user (with the same permissions as the server db user) in the local webserver
- Everything went successfully, but after i want to open http://localhost/ I got redirected to my old site like https://originalsite.com
What did I tried to solve the problem:
-
I checked Apache, PHP and phpmyadmin version, but these are the same.
-
I reinstalled XAMPP but that also didn’t solve the problem.
-
I checked
wp-config.php
but there aren’t any options I’ve could been change,php.ini
andmy.ini
both of them not gave me any alternative.
Thanks!

In the
.sql
file you imported, find “site_url
” and change it to localhost URL. Or you can define it in wp-config.php file as “WP_SITEURL
“You will need to manually go in Database and Replace LIVE site URL with the Local URL.
Something like:
