Could not update hosts files

Support

Issue Summary

Received the ‘Uh oh! Could not update hosts file’ error when pulling in a site from wpengine to my local computer. It is definitely being blocked by my work, but I CAN edit the hosts file myself.

Is there a way to manually edit the hosts file once I pull a site from wp engine?

@alexgmdev

Usually when Local is unable to edit the hosts file, it has to do with something blocking that, usually some sort of antivirus. I’d recommend taking a look at this FAQ and letting us know if that gets you pointed in the right direction:
