problem migrating files from https to http mock site – how to see mock site

Since you cannot get access to the website due to a HTTP/HTTPS conflict, you need to ensures that all of the URLs for your website are up-to-date, try the following steps using the Search Replace DB tool:

1. Go and download Interconnect IT’s Database Search & Replace Script here
2. Unzip the file and drop the folder in your localhost where your WordPress is installed (the root) and rename the folder to replace (screenshot)
3. Navigate to the new folder you created in your browser (ex: http://example.com/replace) and you will see the search/replace tool
4. It should be pretty self-explanatory up to this point: enter your old URL in the search for… field and the new URL in the replace with… field

You can click the dry run button under actions to see what it will be replacing before you execute the script. Once you’re done be sure to remove the /replace/ folder.
