I have been fighting this issue for days, looking for a solution. I tried re-importing from flywheel, reinstalling and importing from local zip, I tried the pre-release build… essentially everything on this forum and all to no avail.
Finally succeeded today, and I hope this helps you too…
- I launched VirtualBox and removed Local-by-flywheel.
- I relaunched the Local App which went through an initial setup like it was brand new (which is scary because now you wonder if you’ll have to redo everything).
- After setup, my long list of sites appeared in red with warnings on each of them. I clicked on a site and saw the “Site Container” warning
- Crossed my fingers and clicked “Restore Site” – and it actually did it.
- Then I clicked “view site”… and wonder-of-wonders there it was!
