I took a copy of my online wordpress site, and hosted it on localhost (WAMP) after lot of efforts. The site now looks great, but all the media files are still taken from the internet hosted website.
How can I make it take local files?

Hi, use this plugin

to change old domain in database to new one (local domain in your case)

You could also change your local host file to direct all traffic from the web to localhost if you want to keep the DB the same:

Just remember to set it back at some point if you need to!

@web2033 :
No, It didn’t work.
Here’s the situation.
I want to move my website on a new hosting space keeping the domain same.
So how can I do it?
