### Issue Summary

Failing to add 2nd website using same Wordpress login as 1st site.

#### Troubleshooting Questions

- Does this happen for all sites in Local, or just one in particular?

_Just the new one. I can log into the 1st one, but can’t create a second one._

- Are you able to create a new, plain WordPress site in Local and access it in a Browser?

_No._

#### Replication

_Add Site_  
_Add Site Name “Demo”_  
_Preferred (PHP 7.4.1 | nginx | SQL 8.0.16)_  
_Add WP Username, Password and Email_  
_Add Site_  
_Receive Error_

#### System Details

- Which version of Local is being used?  
_6.3.1+5826_

- What Operating System (OS) and OS version is being used?  
_Windows 11_

- Attach the Local Log. See this Help Doc for instructions on how to do so:

_The logs expose personal information, but I do have a screenshot._

### 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.
