I downloaded my organization's wordpress website to work on a test copy on my local machine (xampp) web server, but when I go to the address http://localhost/ it takes me to the actual live website (https://brightwaterfoundation.org) rather than the one on my machine.... any idea why this is happening?

I've been trying to a website following this Build a LAMP Web Server with WordPress guideline. After completing the "WordPress configuration," the WordPress turn out fine on the local host but not another computer on the same network. Image provided.
Anything help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Hope! You are accessing wordpress project with
http://localhost/wordpress-project/
And while accessing on other computer under same LAN. If you are trying to access with localhost that will not work. Because apache will look this request locally.
And if you are trying to access this with the LAN computer name/IP. like
http://192.168.0.106/wordpress-project/
OR
http://mycomputer1/wordpress-project/
Then you need to change the siteurl & home value in wordpress-project DB table named wp_options from localhost to desired.
If you are accessing with computer name then you may need to set virtual host for that on mycomputer1 PC
I am developing a Wordpress theme that requires testing with multiple devices over my local network. I use the localhost server XAMPP which runs apache on port 80.
When I access my PC's IP (192.168.0.16) port 80 using an iPad, it returns the apache directory of which I have two sites:
site1
wordpress
The first site is a basic php site, this loads perfectly.
The second site is Wordpress, and won't let me access it (see pic).
I have tried changing the setting inside Wordpress:
changing localhost to 192.168.0.16 inside the site and Wordpress address.
Can anyone advise me on what I'm doing wrong?
I have 2 websites running in my IIS in one machine. One is the PHP website and another is the ASP.NET WebApi. The PHP site is my family website which is kind of an adapter between HTML and WebAPI. Now, in my PHP site I have a page which loads all family pictures from a selected folder on my home wifi network.
If I browse PHP site from the same machine where API is hosted then everything works great. But when I browse my PHP site from other machine in my home wifi network I see ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
As far as the permisssions are concerned I have IUSR full control over my image folder.
Any idea where I am missing the mark?
Your Internet is not working or the server is not set up to receive http request
Please help me. I have a wordpress website running on apache xampp server on windows server 2012 R2. It works perfectly on web server when i set site url settings in wordpress to https://localhost.
When i try to access it using Web server ip on other online systems. images and css files does not load , links does not work. So i change Wordpress Site url setting to https:// and it works on other computers. But now it is not accessible on web server.
Kindly help if anyone knows, how is it possible by keeping https://localhost under wordpress site settings and make it accessible to others systems on internet. I want to make it accessible online and on our web server (Localhost).
I do not know properly, but is it possible to bind ip address with apache, so it may work online as well as locally using localhost.
Thanks
I have wordpress installed and running in my local machine with Windows and Xampp server. I want to access my site from all machines within my network. I have copied all the files with database dump, but it's not working. Posts, pages, plugins nothing are displaying.
I am new to wordpress, any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
If your local Wordpress installation (running on 127.0.0.1) work, is not necessary any modifications.
Just access from computers on LAN with ip machine
192.168.0.1/wordpress <- IP of XAMPP PC.
