Cloned Sites display green running state in UI even when not running

[michaelwilhelmsen]

Cloned sites display as running, even when no sites are actually running. Closing and opening App does not fix the issue.

I see this is a known bug, for example here’s a thread describing the same issue (https://community.localwp.com/t/local-shows-sites-running-upon-opening-the-app-even-when-i-didnt-start-them/25783). In this thread there’s a path leading to a JSON file that might fix the issue, however the path is a Windows app path, and not an Apple path. Which means I don’t know where to find this file. Can anyone please assist me with this?

EDIT: I found the correct file path on OSX: ~/Library/Application Support/Local/sites.json

Solution is to remove "status": "running", lines from that file.

I’ve also added a comment to the topic description that include links to that sites.json file for the various OSes.
