Trying to edit a WP site locally using MAMP

Try adding this to your wp-config.php file:

define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
define('WP_HOME',    'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);

That will define your site URL as whatever happens to be in the browser location bar. Very useful for moving a site from server to server without actually changing the siteurl and home location in the database. Just don’t leave this on a production site.
