 * Hi,
 * I can’t access my website installed at localhost. It says this site can’t be 
   reached. I tried defining and updating the url in wp-config and functions.php
   but it still same. Any ideas?

 * Hi,
 * Sorry but I have a lot of questions for you : Have you installed any plugins?
   Or is this happening out of a fresh install. What changes did you make in wp-
   config and functions.php ?
 * Are you sure your server is up and running ?

 * I have the same problem as well. Installed DesktopServer on Windows7, got the
   same error message- site can’t be reached. Same message in Chrome,Firefox and
   Opera. Happened at first as I tried to install WP on this localhost.

 * Hi Emese,
 * When you say DesktopServer are you referring to this plugin here: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/desktopserver/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/desktopserver/)
 * Did you start seeing the message after you installed the plugin?
 * Thanks once again,

 * I also have the same problem. I don’t have access to my site which is on the 
   localhost. I used xampp and I have windows 10.
