Mamp and wordpress url change

Question

So I had a wordpress installation on my localhost... http://localhost:8888 so I've uploaded the wp files on my FTP, and I've imported the DB.I can't use a new installation because I've edited some core files...

I also edited the table wp_options on my site(the web) i've edited the fields, siteurl and home so those two fields, contained the site url, i've change them from localhost:8888 to my new url.

The problem now is when I go to my url..and I try to load the website it will redirect me to THE_NEW_WEBSITE:8888 I need that port removed....

How can I do that?

Answer 1

you don't need that port removed, you just haven't changed the base url of the wordpress install everywhere you needed to. check your .htaccess file in the directory where you installed wordpress. see if there is anything in there with the old url left over, ie. the url with port 8888. if it's wrong, replace it with the new one.

otherwise, try grep-ing through the directory for :8888 and see if that string exists anywhere its not supposed to.

Solved before explorting the database change the url from the wordpress admin page and after that export the DB
