It's because your new copy of the site localhost/mylisting is still hooked into same database as localhost/listing.

So to avoid that, you have to point your new installation to a different database. to do that, goto your phpmyadmin and export your current db, then create new empty db and import into it. then goto newly imported db's wp-options table. change siteURL and homepage URL to localhost/mylisting from localhost/listing.

Change the site url and home url.The problem is database have the old url address thats why you are facing this problem. You can use this code in wp-config file and change url accordingly.

define('WP_HOME','http://example');

define('WP_SITEURL','http://example');

define('RELOCATE',true);
