Cannot access wp-admin on new or existing multi-site install

What issue or error are you experiencing?

I’m unable to access /wp-admin. It redirects back to the homepage.

What steps can be taken to replicate the issue? Feel free to include screenshots, videos, etc

  1. Create new multisite
  2. Change siteurl and home in the DB to https://
  3. Enable xdebug
  4. Attempt to access /wp-admin

I thought this was an issue with an imported site accessing the url with the port number (ie. http://:10018) but it’s happening with a new site. There’s no reference to that port number in the files nor the db so I don’t know where internally in Local it’s using it.

Hey @brianhogg! I just tested this but couldn’t replicate the problem. I matched your steps I think the only thing I did additional was Trust my SSL in Local and then Stop/Start my site. Did you do that as well?
