I am creating a webiste in wordpress in localhost in folder wp1. The database for the website is wordpress1. I made a backup of wordpress files in wp2 folder and created a wordpress2 database.I also made a backup of database wordpress1 and restore the tables in wordpress2. Now when i try to login from wp2 in localhost like this
localhost/wp2/wp-admin/ it redirects me back to localhost/wp1/wp-login.php?redirect_to=…
I also changed the wp-config.php file in wp2 folder. I set the line
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress2’); to wordpress2. Any suggestion?
@Dado Yes you need to search and replace all the urls in your wordpress2 Database
As you have import all the tables of wordpress1 database to wordpress2 so all the urls of is wordpress1 db is still there and stored in wordpress2 database , you can see it in wp-options table .
so you need to search and replace db , search old url and replace with new url
