    I can access another old site that is a new, plain WordPress site in Local.

Security Reminder

Local does a pretty good job of scrubbing private info from the logs and the errors it produces, however there’s always the possibility that something private can come through. Because these are public forums, always review the screenshots you are sharing to make sure there isn’t private info like passwords being displayed.

Now I notice that my site/app/public folder does not contain a wp-config.php file.
