wp-login.php redirects to server site, not locahost-CodePudding

I downloaded all the wordpress files from the server.

And imported the database phpmyadmin locally.

And I can enter the site local. But when I do:

http://localhost:8080/nieuwdenhaag/wp-login.php

Then I don't see the login page of localhost. But I will be redirected to de admin of the server site.

So are there are some files that I have to change, except of course the wp-config file?

Thank you

After download the complete site from the live server you have to change the url in the database in the options table. The parameters are siteurl and home. After that you should be able to login to your admin.

In Wordpress all URLs are stored directly in the database. You have to search a plugin that replaces your URL in the database that you can see all files (Better Search Replace) for example.

Not 100% a WordPress expert but I did have to do something similar to this recently to migrate a site and also get it working on my localhost to fix a few bugs. What I did was use this plugin (https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/) to export -> to a file and then import it on your localhost!

Hope this helps.
