 * I recently moved a copy of my word press site to my localhost xampp. everything
   was fine exempt that when I click on any page it opens a text doc and that doc
   is names .staging. it’s pretty annoying. I went to the htdoc and trashed it then
   went back to permalinks and saved and it did create a new one but it still opens
   the .staging doc. help?

 * Have you tried:
    – Flushing any caching plugins you might be running, as well
   as server and/or [browser caches](http://www.refreshyourcache.com/). Not just
   your browser, but any op cache or content network cache as well [such as Cloudflare](https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200169246-How-do-I-purge-my-cache-).
   If your host provider has a “Purge Varnish” option or if you can ask your provider
   to flush memcache on your server. – deactivating ALL (yes all) plugins temporarily
   to see if this resolves the problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this
   works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(
   s). – [ manually resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by [FTP/ SFTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) (no Dashboard access required).
   Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems. Also remember
   to deactivate any plugins in the mu-plugins folder (if you have created such 
   folder). The easiest way is to rename that folder to mu-plugins-old. – switching
   to the unedited default Theme (Twenty Sixteen.) for a moment using the WP dashboard
   to rule out any theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).
