When I follow the wordpress.org instructions to create a backup on my localhost, the result is that the localhost redirects me back to the live site. Is there a standard procedure for making modifications to both the sql database file and WordPress settings?
I did the following:
– search and replace for URLs in the wp_wfHits table
– updated the wp_options table (site url)
– search and replace for guid in the wp_posts table
– modified Dashboard > Settings > General with localhost URLs
I’m still having trouble with absolute vs relative links in the wp-content > uploads folder
