    I had successfully installed MAMP(local host)and WordPress, theme, etc. Everything was running fine. I was following an instructional tutorial on installing a theme. The tutorial instructed me to goto WP dashboard/ General setting and modify WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) by adding www between the http:// and my localhost/wordpress/wp-admin (i believe it was). Now when I try to log-in to my WP admin it redirects me to the www internet and locks me out of my admin login. I have deleted all my Mamp and WP files and reinstalled but still get redirected to www and cant login to wp amin. I am a newbe and an struggling through all this. Im hopeful someone can help me. Thank You

    I’m now assuming the instruction was optimizing for a live site, not my local site. I should have known better. I have deleted both my Mamp and WP programs and Files and still get redirected. The “Page I need help with” is the redirection when I’m expecting to get to my WP admin login.

    Using FTP/ SFTP , or your web-host’s cPanel or whatever file management application your host provides, access phpMyAdmin on your host, then find your DB, there check the wp_options Table (Note: The table prefix of wp_ may be different if you changed it when installing), and make sure siteurl field and home field are correct. See https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL#Changing_the_URL_directly_in_the_database

    If you haven’t already done, always backup your database before doing any actions, just in case something really goes wrong. You can never have enough backups!
