copy wordpress site to localhost

I've got xampp up and running, copied the files of sikkesautomobielen.nl via FTP to my htdocs, connected my php database and have got my duplicate site working (localhost). When I click on one of the links on the site I still end up on sikkesautomobielen.nl instead of my localhost. I guess it's a database issue. Is there an easy way for me to make the URLs reference to localhost instead of sikkesautomobielen? I'm trying to develop a Wordpress site and when I'm done, I would like to upload it to the server. This way the site has a minimal down time and I can afford myself some mistakes without the "official" site crashing.

It's a database issue. Go to your database( PHPMyAdmin) and under *_options you will find 2 base urls, change them to your localhost url and the site will work.

Change the 'option_value' of both 'home' & 'siteurl'

'*' refers to your selected prefix
