Wordpress localhost not working

Question

I am new to wordpress so please assist.

I know there have been some questions regarding this already there but it did not work hence asking for assistance

I have cloned a live repo and saved it in my WAMP www folder which I normally use for other php sites and refer it using localhost/project/ but now when I am trying this it is redirecting to https://localhost/project/

I performed following steps

1) Set up my db connection in wp-config.php

2) added these 2 lines in wp-config

define('WP_HOME','localhost/project');
define('WP_SITEURL','localhost/project');

3) turned WP_CACHE to false in wp-config.php

I don't know what else to do so please assist.

Try add prefix `http://` before localhost/project on 2 line you provide. — Argus Duong, Dec 13 '17 at 02:38
The issue is the website keep redirect to https://localhost/project? Take a look at your plugins directory if any https or SSL in plugin folder name. — Argus Duong, Dec 13 '17 at 02:43
So what is the error, is anything coming on any fatal error coming, change wp_debug to true on wp-config.php and let me know — dipak_pusti, Dec 13 '17 at 02:44

Do you have a Virtual Host defines for this project? If not you really should, specially for WP sites — RiggsFolly, Dec 13 '17 at 09:52
I do not server access to this code .. I am only given a bitbucket repo access and I need to get this to work on my local so that I can add code and test before creating PR. — Dhaval Chheda, Dec 13 '17 at 10:22

If it does not work, you can try using php built-in server. Go to your project root directory and execute the below command in console.

php -S localhost:8000

I can mention some basic steps without having much knowledge about your installation,

Go to phpmyadmin, option wp_options, change WP_HOME and WP_SITEURL values, no need to define on wp-config.php
Rename your plugins folder to something like "plugins1" and access admin, if you can access then go straight to update your Permalink.
After updating permalinks rename plugins folder back to plugins then access plugin section on wp-admin.

UPDATE

After migration you are advised to replace all urls through out data base with old url. Please checkout the following plugin, it will surely help you out.

Let me know if still finding issue.

sorry it does not work.. – Dhaval Chheda Dec 13 '17 at 03:37 — Dhaval Chheda, Dec 13 '17 at 03:37

Its because of plugins that redirect like you may use some security plugin, Please deactivate all plugins ( to deactivate all plugins from database please check this link https://www.templatemonster.com/help/wordpress-disable-plugins-via-database-manual-removal.html )and delete cache folder and change base url from database no need to change config file

You can check base url for database here . url (http://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/website/wordpress/wordpress-changing-the-site-url-and-home-settings) Let me know if it helps

Last this you can try edit config file to show error reporting so that if any error related to custom it will display(Wp-config.php file change this define('WP_DEBUG', true); true to show errors). Thanks
