Messed up

Sounds like you might’ve updated the WordPress Address and Site Address to the live server settings.

You can overwrite the settings stored in the database by editing wp-config.php

You’ll be able to update the WordPress Address and Site Address.

To use the localhost server:
define(‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘https://localhost/wordpress’);
define(‘WP_HOME’, ‘https://localhost/wordpress’);

These settings overwrite the values set on the General Settings page.

That was exactly as I thought. But went to wp-config.php and everything there is as it should be that was one of the reasons why i asked the question on the forum.

Found the answer on another forum.
