Wordpress, changes to local copy changes live site - wordpress

I've been tasked with creating new content for at Wordpress site. To do this i've created a local copy og the site and database so i don't accidentally crash the live site. Then i created a few pages, did some css stuff, but then i got contacted by the site admin, who asked if i had changed anything or they had been hacked. I went to the live site and saw all the pages and css I had made was there.
Can anyone tell me why this is and how to change it?
Thank you.

WordPress website pages are redirecting to adult site pages

I have a website built on WordPress platform. Today, when I opened the website and when I clicked anywhere on the website, adult site pages are opening up continuously.
Can anyone please suggest what could be done to resolve the issue?
Your site is hacked by someone and some script injected in your WordPress installation or database which causing to load this video your website need to scan your website using plugin like SECURI You can get this on Securi.net
Here are some solutions that you can try(Remember to take a backup before using this)
Check and clean all your recently modified files
Contact your hosting provider if you are not using dedicated server.
If you have some inactive themes and plugins which you don't need more remove them.Hackers can hide script there.
-You can upload new word-press core files which you haven't customised.
Install fresh copy of themes and plugins if you not customised them.
Change your secret keys in your wp-config file.
Check users in your word-press and delete suspected ones.
Check permission of your installation directory .if not secure them make changes.
Change you WordPress password
If this all not works to solve problem let me i will look into it.

New wordpress dev site setup but all inks point to homepage

I've got a live Wordpress site that is working fine. Time for a few updates, so the guy hosting this site for us has created a new subdirectory, 'newdev', and copied the live site into it.
He said he's updated the database, and in my Dashboard-->Settings-->General, the WordPress Address (URL) has been updated to http://newdev.thecyclery.net.au (while the live site URL is http://thecyclery.net.au.
I find that I can open the homepage of the dev site OK, but if I click any links, it takes me to that page on the live site. E.g, I'm on http://newdev.thecyclery.net.au, then click 'Ride' and it takes me to http://thecyclery.net.au/ride
If I manually enter the URL for sub-pages (e.g. http://newdev.thecyclery.net.au/ride) it directs back to the DEV homepage.
I really need to be able to see my dev pages so I know that the work I'm doing is working and displaying correctly... Any suggestions?
Thanks, I hope I've provided enough info!!

Client transferred/changed domain names...how do I salvage the WordPress site

So I built this client a WordPress site and after if was completed and paid for he decided he didn't like his domain name. So he logged into HostGator and then bought/transferred to a new domain.
Then a day later he calls and wonders why his page isn't loading. I'm able to go into the FTP and save all the wp-content and every file that was originally there... My question is how do I get the WordPress site I built onto the new domain name?
I've read all kinds of tutorials about how to export/import but they require the site you're transferring from to be live.. I can't log into the wp-admin portion because it looks like the domain does not exist anymore.
I'm definitely not a back-end guy.. I've build a few sites off line with xamp but i have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to trying to salvage this site. Any help?
WordPress is flexible to handle situations like moving to another server. First back up your WordPress directory, images, plugins, and other files on your site as well as the database. The detailed steps on how to do it is well documented in the website https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress.

I have recently transferred my wordpress site to hostgator. I have only changed the hosting, the domain name is still the same. After transferring my site all the images in the site are invisible even if i upload any new image its is not showing on site.
I have tried to upload the "UPLOAD" folder again and also changed the permissions but the result is still the same.
Please help me as this is a critical issue for me.
My site URL is www.animationcoursesahmedabad.com
define('WP_HOME','http://animationcoursesahmedabad.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://animationcoursesahmedabad.com');
Put this in wp-config.php at root
I see a lot of javascript errors. That may be the problem.
