    Dear All,

    I cloned a WP system that was live running into my localhost, now, not only the main page get’s me a white screen of death but mainly and I believe this is the source of all my problems, when I try to go to https://localhost/mysite/wp-admin/
    it redirects to
    https://localhost/mysite/wp-admin/

    but I don’t have https on my computer and I have serveral others WP sites here and none of them goes to https,

    Could anyone help me and say where I turn this off please?
    I have renamed the main theme and all the plugins and I also checked for https all over but could not find anything on the source, if might be something on the DB.
    I also renamed the only .htaccess that was on the root folder, but nothing seem to help.

    thanks

    Carlos

    just a quick update, I noticed just now that when I try to go in https://localhost/mysite/wp-admin/ besides of WP changing the address to https… in tries to reach the IP where the original WP sites was hosted. What in WP is doing this?

    Hi carlitos34,

    Did you change the site URL, and home URL in the database to point to your local directory?

    Hi Rwaynick, yes I did that shortly after I started this post. It did not help me a lot, but at least system stopped going into the original URL. I am going to be closing this topic as resolved but I will be opening another one as I have several other problems starting with the missing wp-config.php that for me is just a softlink.

    thanks for you help.
