After update DB, home link on local redirects to live site

Viewing 2 replies - 1 through 2 (of 2 total)

  • Hi.
    You are experiencing that problem because you need to use a search for your live site domain, say yoursite.com, and replace it with localhost/yoursite in your local database.
    That should fix the problem for you. If you are not very familiar with SQL queries or phpMyAdmin, you can use the Search and Replace plugin, which has a built-in sandbox feature.
    Cheers!

    Thank you.
    Some links in the wp_options table were still to the live site.
    For general info:
    Its not just the ‘home’ record and the ‘siteurl’ record that needs to be changed, every instance of the live site url should be changed including the paths to images, that is if iamges exist on localhost.

    Thanks again,
    Kanika.
