UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = replace(option_value, ‘https://www.mysite.com’, ‘https://localhost/mysite’) WHERE option_name = ‘home’ OR option_name = ‘siteurl’;

UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = replace(post_content, ‘https://www.mysite.com’, ‘https://localhost/mysite’);

UPDATE wp_postmeta SET meta_value = replace(meta_value,’https://www.mysite.com’, ‘https://localhost/mysite’);

/** MySQL database username */
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘root’);
