I've been running Wordpress locally and after updating to Catalina, I've run into a lot of problems accessing.
When I enter http://localhost:8888/ I get an index of only Wordpress, click onto the Wordpress and receive :
Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server.
If I go into http://127.0.0.1:8888/wordpress/, I receive an index of the seperate pages that I have created on my website, but receive the same not found error when I click on any links. I just want to be able to login to my Wordpress admin.

Recently I moved a WordPress Multisite to a single installation with the Duplicator Pro plugin. Everything worked great and the site has been running as a single site for more than a month without problems.
When going to "example.com/wp-admin" I get redirected to "example.com/wp/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1/wp-admin/setup-config.php" and it gives an error stating there is no wp-config file found.
Now when I try to log in on "example.com/wp-login.php" I get redirected to "example.com/wp/wp-login.php?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1" and it prompts the WordPress install.
It seems like it adds '/wp/' to the url which could be from the Multisite installation. I can also see a folder in the WordPress installation named 'wp', when changing this to 'wp_OLD' for example it justs redirects to a 404 page after logging in.
I have to add that the frontend of the site still works perfectly fine, it's just the logging in that's not working.
This problem just appeared randomly as there have been no changes to the website in the last couple weeks. Trying it in different browsers and with cleared cookies didn't help.
How can I stop the admin login from wanting to redirect to the /wp/ folder?
I am new in this and I am struggling with cloning a WordPress live site to localhost for development. After reading many different tutorials, I finally succeeded to clone the live site to localhost (http://localhost:8888) but when I try to login into the WordPress admin area at first it did not open at all but after trying a few times it opened but redirected to the live site.
I changed the URLs in phpmyAdmin but I always have the message "0 rows affected". I changed the URL in wp_config.php.
define('WP_HOME','http://localhost:8888');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://localhost:8888');
After this in phpMyAdmin inside my database --> wp_options I changed the site URL and home with the new localhost URL http://localhost:8888.
Nothing of these is working. What am I missing?
I recommend to make a clone by some plugin (f.e. Duplicator). It will makes for you all of the stuff like changing the url in DB, and if is anywhere a problem it gives you error report.
You can install Duplicator, make a full copy of you website (just clicking next...next), after that download it to your PC (or devie where is localhost). After that, run the downloaded php file and complete the DB login. After that, if you have correct DB with correct login credentials you should have running website copy on localhost.

I also found this error when I click on test connection during adding the website in IIS:(I'm not sure whether it is related to the problem)
So, can anyone help to enlighten me what should I do to bring me to the installation page for the wordpress? Thanks.
I installed wordpress on my website. Uploaded a nice premium theme for ecommerce. But when I try to access the website then it shows an error. An image of the error is shown below. What can cause this error? The website was working fine. I mean to say that there was a "Coming Soon" shown on the website when I used to go to my website url. But after I installed wordpress, it's showing this error. I installed wordpress in the root directory, i.e I kept the "in dir" field blank while installing wordpress. Moreover, I did only one more change except installing wordpress is that I changed my cpanel password. These are the only two things I did and the website shows this error. Help will be appreciated.
Edit: I just tried to access my website on my phone and it is showing the website but on desktop, it takes to an error page: http://mysitename.com/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi rather than http://mysitename.com
The page is most probably cached on your computer/browser or you have DNS cache and it points your domain name to some other ip address then the correct one.
Try using a different browser. Try using a private navigation window from your browser (it works with Firefox, Chrome).
If you are using windows try deleting your dns cache by going to Start -> Run -> cmd.exe then type this command and press Enter:
ipconfig /flushdns
I've moved a local Wordpress website (using MAMP) on an Aruba domain. I've exported the local MySQL database using phpMyAdmin to a mydb.sql file. I've edited the file replacing all the local urls (http://localhost:8888/websitename) with the new url (http://websitename.it).
Using FileZilla I've transferred the whole content of the Wordpress website to the new domain using FTP, then I've edited the wp-config.php file changing the database name, host, username and password given from Aruba.
At this point the website is online and I can see the homepage correctly displayed.
The problem is when I click on any of the menu links, which points to other sections of the website, I got a 500 internal server error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
If I log in to the Wordpress dashboard I can see all the website content and all the pages correctly. What could be the problem?
If you can log in, go to your Permalinks settings and then click "Save" it should flush the HTaccess rules that could be causing these issues
