Hello @rpearson, and welcome to DevKinsta!
This could be related to a known bug that our team is working on.
Can you open the Database manager and check the values in wp_options to see if the siteurl and home url are correctly using the .local url?
You can also use the Search and Replace tool within MyKinsta to replace old.ascentfunding.com with the .local URL before pulling the site into DevKinsta.
If none of this works, it could be a plugin causing the redirect but that’s the least likely issue.
