Others can see site but I can’t connect using the computer I used to build the site using Local. Site was successfully migrated to a hosting company’s servers and others can see the site. But from my computer browsers all say “can’t connect.”
Since I built the site on this computer, is there some residual Local created code that doesn’t allow this computer to seek the URL on the net? How do I enable this computer to connect to the site on the hosting company’s servers?
I’ve emptied my cache and rebooted my router and that has not solved the problem. I’ve tried three different browsers (Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Firefox). Same problem.
The problem here was caused by Local modifying the hosts file. Local adds a line resolving the site URL to localhost. Thus preventing browsers from going out onto the internet to search for that URL.
Hi, I have a similar problem. I can log onto Local, and can open the site I built. BUT, when I try to access WP Admin, the local site does not accept my local WP credentials to log onto the dashboard. I know the login details are correct as they are saved in a Password Safe (LastPass). I also tried to login using my email address but that was not recognised either. I’ll attach a screenshot of my local dashboard in case that suggests something to readers? I have been able to access the dashboard in the past, so I am wondering what is happening? I did update local today for the latest version. Might that have caused it? Thanks, Roger.
