**The issue:**  
If I try to pull a site down from my flywheel server to local, I get “Uh-oh! Error pulling site. We ran into an issue pulling from Flywheel. If this problem persists please contact [help@getflywheel.com](mailto:help@getflywheel.com)”. When I click okay, I get this error when trying to load the site: " This site can’t be reached

**agri-partners.local** refused to connect.

- Search Google for [agri partners local](https://www.google.com/search?q=agri%20partners%20local)

ERR\_CONNECTION\_REFUSED"

**Create a new site:**  
When I try to create a brand new site using Local I get this error: "Error Installing WordPress for New Testing Site  
“app/public/wp-includes/version.php does not exist.”  
When I click okay, I get an error at the top of the local site that says Error! WordPress installation failed.

**Trying to migrate a site from Local Sites folder**  
After uninstalling and reinstalling Local from the 2.4.1 release, I was no longer connected to any sites in my Local Sites folder. So I follow the steps in [[How to Import a WordPress Site into Local]](https://getflywheel.com/wordpress-support/how-to-import-a-wordpress-site-into-local)

The site appears to install okay, but I get the following error when trying to access it:

# This site can’t be reached

**agri-partners-inc.local** refused to connect.

- Search Google for [agri partners inc local](https://www.google.com/search?q=agri%20partners%20inc%20local)

ERR\_CONNECTION\_REFUSED

Also, when I hover over the push/pull to flywheel options, it tells me “Connect to Flywheel does not support:  
Sites without WordPress installed”

It seems as if Local is unusable for me and any help on getting this issue fixed would be greatly appreciated. I running MacOS Sierra and Local by Flywheel version 2.4.2.
