Hi @sambrockway, I am confirming that this fix worked for me. Once you update the wp-config.php file to accommodate this non-standard port, everything works fine. The non-standard port is found under the “Database” tab of the site in Local. The only thing is that, if there is another plugin that specifically uses a the default port 3306, it might create issues for said plugin.
At least for me, I am able to continue developing to prepare the site for production since the plugin works completely fine in that environment. I hope you won’t have any issues @Maryan
