    the main thing that has me baffled is why is it redirecting to localhost:8888?

    the port number by default for mamp is 8888. Parts of the site options must not have been changed to reflect the site move. Are you sure you changed the address for every piece that needed it?

    My advice is to login using the phpmyadmin for the site host, and check under the database storing the wordpress data. The options table is the one you’re looking for it. Siteurl should be addressed, I believe there will be more than that needed to do, but it’s a start..

    Thanks for the super-quick response!

    I checked the siteurl and found it to be localhost … THEN I discovered that my problem was caused by importing the wrong DB! an earlier version that hadn’t been updated. once I imported the right DB … all fixed and working as it should … thank you.

    (oops!)

    Sure thing. ?? Glad that helped.
