Wordpress keeps redirecting me to online site [closed]

Question

I need to create a copy of a WordPress in a local environment.

I have alread done some research and

1. Included the following line in wp-config.php (at it's start, also tried at the end)

   define('WP_SITEURL','http://mydomain.local'); define('WP_HOME','http://mydomain.local');

Note sure if these URLs should be different.

2. Changed siteurl and home to http://mydomain.local in database in table [prefix]_options

3. I have also checked the .htaccess file and it contain nothing that refers to the online domain.

but it keeps redirecting me to the online domain.

Answer 1

Clear all rewrite_rules in the wp_options table in your database then open your local website in an incognito browser or clear your browser cache.
