Hi everyone, I’m new here and I don’t understand much about this, I installed localwp on my machine and did some tests and so far so good.
Then I started making a website and it was almost ready, I was working on the website and the power went out, twice in a row later I turned on the machine and it gave me a blue screen, then it turned on normally but when I turn on localwp and go to work on the website, it doesn’t open and the always a mistake
Can anyone help me please?
If you create a new, blank site in Local can you access that okay? If you can, then you may want to try reimporting the site getting the errors. The steps would look like this:
Locate the site files on your machine, and save a copy of them to your desktop. If you click Go to Site Folder under your site name it should take you right to where they are located.
Once you have those copied, completely delete the site from Local
hello
thanks for your help
I created a new website and it works
Now I opened the website folder but I’m not finding the sql folder
Do you have any idea how to find it?
thanks
Did you have content in the database for that site? You could use the database from the new, blank site and then just manually move over your WP-Content if that is all you had.
What do you mean by your texts? Your pages and posts? Your images will be in your media library which is your wp-content/uploads. Do you see those in there?
If you’re not seeing the SQL folder in there, or by manually searching elsewhere on your machine, then it may be that the power outage caused it’s disappearance it might be irrecoverable.
The only other thing you could try would be a time machine backup if you had one like this:
Hello, I’m also facing the same error when I try to create a new blank site. It is the first time I’m using Local so I dont have any previous sites. Could you please suggest what could be the issue?
I googled and the most frequent solution suggested was to check the windows username for special characters, which I don’t have. Also, I have ample disk space, so not sure what could be the source of the problem.
