After updating Local, some sites wont start up:

Its not all sites, but some. Tried restarting the site, the app, the mac - nothing helps. Cant export, cant clone, cant start the site, completely shut out of the site.

I’m currently working on that specific site and the clients pressuring me to finish it. Guys, this is catastrophic for me right now!

Please help me out!

Have you tried updating to the latest Local v3.2.1? Something, possibly related, was fixed in v3.2.0.

I’m afraid i’m already up to date - so it seems it hasn’t fixed it for me ☹

I solved the issue by going to preference \> advanced \> router mode \> localhost

Ofcourse not the best solution, because you cant use SSL this way, but better that nothing and wait for the fix.
