[FIXED] Wordpress localhost:3000 returns SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG with MAMP 6

Issue

I upgraded MAMP to version 6 (not PRO).

When I launch my local wordpress project with npm start task, Firefox automatically redirects on https://localhost:3000 and I get the "SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG" error.

How can I avoid SSL redirection for localhost:3000 ?

Thanks !

Solution

Go to phpmyadmin in MAMP, which is usually localhost:(portnumber)/phpmyadmin.

Find your wordpress database and then look for the wp_options table, or if your table is prefixed then look for (prefix)_wp_options.

Change the site_url and home options to http.
