Change URL back to localhost

  • Hi,
    I had this WP installation on my localhost and it worked fine until I went to settings and changed the “WordPress Address (URL)” and “Blog Address (URL)” to the live host’s address. After doing that I did a fresh install of WP on my computer and uploaded that to the live server (to the same hosting address) with no problems but now the one on my localhost is directing to that address and I get “Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/60/10254360/html/(folder name)/wp-content/themes/(folder name)/functions.php:14) in /home/content/60/10254360/html/(folder name)/wp-includes/option.php on line 568

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/60/10254360/html/(folder name)/wp-content/themes/(folder name)/functions.php:14) in /home/content/60/10254360/html/(folder name)/wp-includes/option.php on line 569

    How can I set the first installation’s address back to the localhost? I went to PhPMyAdmin and to wp_options, both the siteurl and home options have the value “https://localhost/wordpress” yet I can’t access the dashboard. Please help.

    Read “Changing the URL directly in the database ”

    I had the same thing happen on a couple sites when I was moving them from one hosting account to another. Had the same type of errors in both a theme and a couple plugins.

    What I did was manually delete the theme and plugins that were throwing the errors and then re-installed them once I was able to log in.

    I don’t know why this was happening or why it was only on a couple sites (I moved 16 sites) but that is what I did to get them going again.

    Cheers!
    Lyle
