Only see home page and can't login to WordPress on my localhost site

    Hi guys. I am building my WordPress site locally using AMPPS and had it all working beautifully. I forwarded the site using ForwardHQ and changed the site URL so I could share it with a client. When I switched the site URL back to my local site, suddenly everything seemed to go wrong. I couldn’t login to WordPress any more. I put my localhost/mysite address into the config.php file to reset the site URL back to my localhost. I edited the option in myphpadmin.

    Getting the site URL back to normal doesn’t seem to be the problem. I can only access the home page and all the other pages give me: “Not Found The requested URL was not found on this server.” and when I try to go to localhost/mysite/wp-admin, I get “This webpage is not available” error. I want to change the permalinks setting to see if that would fix it but I can’t get into my admin. I am really stressing about this because it’s for a client. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

    Due to the commercial nature of ForwardHQ, you will need to contact support@forwardhq.com for assistance. It isn’t a WordPress related issue.

    You may want to try this:

    – verify that the values for the siteurl and home fields are correct for your local site in the wp-options table of your database, e.g.:

    http://localhost/mysite

    – follow the instructions to download and run the script provided here:

    https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/

    This should let you log into the Dashboard where you should immediately go to Settings > Permalinks and just click Save Changes; doing so rebuilds the htaccess file.

    Cheers!
