I’m trying to connect to a remote MySQL database from my WordPress plugin. My code works on any other WordPress installation, but not with Local on Windows 10.
Steps to reproduce
Here is the minimal code to demonstrate this issue. You just need to change the arguments.
Following. Really curious to see what answers @austinwendt or others might come up with. I’m having a similar issue, except mine is MySQL won’t launch in the site shell at all. I’m not sure what you are using, but mine is set up to use GitBash on Windows 11. Typing mysql -u root -p doesn’t do anything except carriage return and show a blinking cursor.
If need be, I’ll create my own issue. But, it looks like this might be related. Could it be as simple as a recent LocalWP update broke something and needs brought to their attention so the awesome devs can get it fixed?
P.S: I only posted this comment because the note at the bottom indicates the post is still open and will close in a month:
Yes, I think mysql worked prior to the update. This screenshot is static you can’t see the “blinking”, but there it is – just a cursor. It never does anything else. I’ve waited 5 minutes one time to see if it was just slow - nope. It just doesn’t do anything.
Also, not sure if it helps, but while most WP-CLI commands work fine, NONE of the wp db commands work. When I type wp db tables, for instance, I always get “Error establishing a database connection”. Not sure if the db issue and the mysql issue could have the same root cause?
My local WP sites all work, so I’d say the database itself appears to be working.
Hey @CodeSlayer2010! Sorry I was reviewing this with the team but we weren’t able to pinpoint anything yet. Have you tried downgrading yet to see if functionality returns?
