I am being redirected to an old dev site domain (that I changed in Local recently - I know, shouldn’t have done this in hind sight). I swear I have tried everything… 1. I went directly into Adminer and searched and replaced everything I could find, EXCEPT one file that I don’t have permissions to edit: information\_schema/processlist 2. Tried `wp search-replace '//olddomain.com' '//newdomain.com'` - nothing came up. 3. Tried `grep -R "olddomain.com" .` but it only returned results from access/error logs 4. I have defined `WP_SITEURL` and `WP_HOME` None of this has solved my issue. I am able to view the site with Local’s Live Link but I really need this to work without internet… Note: `/wp-admin` works but the redirect only happens when trying to view the [dev] site domain. ---

Having the same problem. I downloaded a backup from a Flywheel site and imported into Local. Keeps taking me to my Flywheel site rather than on my machine. Live internet link works though. Help? ---

If you enable “Dev Mode” (top-right of site info page) does the issue go away? ---

Thanks for the response. No, it still redirects. ---

@rollacreative, What is the site name on Flywheel? I can try to reproduce the issue if you’d like. Also, feel free to private message me the name of the site in case you can’t say it publicly. ---

@clay Hey there - Thought I’d check in to see if you’d had a chance to look into it? Thanks for your help. ---

Hi @rollacreative, It looks like Local got confused on the import since there are two different WP table sets in the SQL file. So, to fix the site after importing, I simply change `$table_prefix` in wp-config.php to `wp_`. Then, I ran the `search-replace` command like so: `wp search-replace "//annunciationdev.flywheelsites.com" "//dev-domain-here.dev"` After that, you may want to enable Dev Mode so you can see the domain changes. ---

Hi @clay I tried this and it’s still forwarding. Any other ideas? I’ve never had a problem downloading and importing a site into Local before so I’m not sure what changed in this process since the last time I did it. ---

I had the same issue and had to change https to http in siteurl and home. See my post here [Fixed: 301 redirect loop on newly restored/cloned site](https://local.getflywheel.com/community/t/fixed-301-redirect-loop-on-newly-restored-cloned-site/3006?u=leotulipan) ---
