Hi

I have an uncommon need.

I realise many people create a website locally at localhost and then move it to a live production server, and there are millions of HOW TO’s about doing it in that order. I, on the other hand, want to take a site off the Internet and run it on my own internal network.

I have configured LAMP and permissions. That’s all runing.

I’ve copied my web root data from the live server to my Apache local www folder. I’ve copied my MySQL database from the live server to my local MySQL installation.

And I can access the site at https://localhost and I can access the log in PAGE at https://localhost/wp-login.php.

However, when I click “Log In”, it takes me to my live site at https://www.mysite.com.

I have tried changing the entry in the database table wp_options on my local Intranet database to “localhost” instead of “mydoman.com”, but still the login page, and thereafter the entire site, is at my live domain.

So my question is how to take my site FROM the Internet TO localhost?

Thanks

PS, before anyone suggests “Duplicate” (https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/guide-to-migrating-localhost-wordpress-to-live-site/), I realise that’s an option, now, but having spent all day copying the files and database down and configuring everything, and got the homepage etc running on localhost, I suspect I just need to change one hard coded value somewhere in one of the php files or something.

For a system that’s used as much as WP is, I’m always surprised at how long, if ever, replies to posts come.

Anyway, suffice to say I worked this out and for the benefit of anyone else who Googles as I did for “live wordpress site FROM the Internet TO Localhost”, the simple database tweak you need to do to your RESTORED database on your LOCALHOST (having of course copied your files to your Apache web root and having configured your MySQL system on localhost) is :

UPDATE wp_posts SET guid = replace( guid, ‘https://www.yourwebsite.com’, ‘https://localhost’ ) ;
UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = replace( post_content, ‘https://www.yourwebsite.com’, ‘https://localhost’ ) ;
UPDATE wp_postmeta SET meta_value = replace( meta_value, ‘https://www.yourwebsite.com’, ‘https://localhost’ ) ;

After that, all is well. I can now take my live site offline, safe in the knowledge I have it running internally.

Or they could just follow these instructions

Which accomplishes the same thing. ??
