Try following

• If there are caching plugins installed like W3 total cache. Then purge cache first. Or may be disable them for time being

• Perform Search and Replace in the database for Old Site URL. You can Use this Plugin

• Reset Permalinks ( Dashboard >> Settings >> Permalinks )

• Last but not the least. Clear your browser Cache and History

  • In Chrome, you can try to clear your DNS cache before clearing all your cache

According to the wordpress reference here

Add these two lines to your wp-config.php, where "example" is the correct location of your site.

define('WP_HOME','http://example'); 
define('WP_SITEURL','http://example');

OR

Edit functions.php

Add these two lines to the file, immediately after the initial "

update_option( 'siteurl', 'http://example' );
update_option( 'home', 'http://example' );

Or check the .htaccess file as well if added any rewrite rule for redirect the website.

Hope this help!!

Had to change these lines in my wp-config.php from

define('WP_CACHE', true);
define( 'WPCACHEHOME', 'C:\wamp64\www\wp-content\plugins\wp-super-cache/' );

to

define('WP_CACHE', false);
//define( 'WPCACHEHOME', 'C:\wamp64\www\wp-content\plugins\wp-super-cache/' );

You can also solve this problem by installing WP cli and running :

wp search-replace 'example' 'example.local'

Check the codex for more info. But as JItendra said, it's important to clear the browser cache too after doing this.

you can change live url to local url directly in database table wp_options two option_name field

1) siteurl
2) home

After this save permalink.

Hope is useful

Try remove any redirecting plugins if you have in your live site codebase. I solved the same issue by removing the "safe-redirect-manager" plugin in local.

I just change my permalink structure to plain and again to old one then Its working. thanks all of you for your help. :)
