links redirect to dashboard xampp

Viewed 1497

I've moved WordPress from hosts to Xampp local hosts.

I corrected the links inside the database. Although the home page is loaded. But on every link, I'm redirected to the http: // localhost / dashboard page.

I use WordPress 4.9.6, Xampp 3.2.2 and Windows 8.1 64-bit

my .htaccess file

BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On    
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
END WordPress

please guide me, thanks

For me, changing the .htaccess file as @Ustav suggested did not resolve the issue. After making that change, while I was no longer redirected to the XAMPP dashboard, I was instead redirected to a 404 page from Apache.

What did resolve the issue for me was simply navigating to Settings > Permalinks in the WP admin, scrolling to the bottom, and clicking "Save Changes", an idea I got from this WP forum page. That immediately fixed it, no changes to .htaccess required.

The remote-to-local transfer instructions I followed can be found on this 1&1 Ionos instruction doc

Try this:

Go to htaccess file.

Inside

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
...
</IfModule>

Put this code RewriteRule . FOLDERNAME/index.php [L]
