    Hi,

    Problem: I installed a local version of a live site to test some stuf. But if I try to go to the local site, it autimatically goes to the live site.
    I had this problem before, but i thought I now did everything the same way as when I resolved it last time…

    I have a live site that I need to make a local test version from.
    I edited the wp-config like this

    /** MySQL database username */
    define('DB_USER', 'root');
    
    /** MySQL database password */
    define('DB_PASSWORD', 'root');

    and in the database I changed the site url and the home to the local address (http://localhost:8888/localmapname)

    What am I missing?? Why is it still going to the live site?
    Please help
    THANKS!

    oooops… silly me, I also copied the .htaccess file which was making that happen

    so resolved!
