Local WordPress site keeps directing from localhost:8000 to localhost

    I’m using the Homebrew PHP 7.4 version along with the MySQL formula to power my local WordPress installation. I originally configured the local WordPress site’s address to the remote one but realized I made a mistake. So, I deleted the wp-config.php and ran the installation again and pointed the site and WordPress address to the local one. They are set to http://localhost:8000. Now, the local site keeps redirecting from localhost:8000 to localhost. The wp-admin works fine but when I try to navigate to the site, it keeps redirecting to localhost. I already tried this: https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/changing-the-site-url/ but it didn’t work.

    I tried loading the site on Safari and it worked. I guess it’s a Chrome issue.

    If this happens to you, try clearing the full cache by going to the Advanced tab when clearing the browser cache.
