Hi there,
After a first and clean install of Local and filling in all the necessary info, I get an ‘Error Installing Wordpress’ in the last step of the installation process :frowning: I have deleted everything and installed again, but same result. No idea what I can do. I’m not technical savvy, so I find it hard to understand the error message. Maybe you have a possible solution?

thanks,
Hans

What issue or error are you experiencing?

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.

Hi @HansNL

Doing some searching it seems like this might be an issue due to your OS version. Are you able to update your OS further to at least Ventura on this machine?

Another workaround would be to create a custom site and try using the oldest PHP version available from the dropdown.

Hi Nick,

Thanks for your quick response. No, my good old 2014 iMac cannot handle a newer OS unfortunately :frowning: Too bad, because my iMac is still going strong on a lot of other tasks.

But on the bright side…I tried your workaround and it’s working! So thanks for that! Now I can start practising with my new website. Don’t know if it’s still possible to upload it later on to go live (because of the old php version), but for now I can start messing around to learn how to use Wordpress.

Thanks a lot!
Hans

Glad to hear it @HansNL!

As long as your themes and plugins are compatible with newer versions of PHP you should be just fine. When you move your site, depending on your host, they will probably default to a newer version of PHP and if you have any outdated code some things on the site might break. If you want to do further testing before going live you could always move your site to a Demo/Staging/Dev environment first, to make sure it’s still working normally with that update. Or just enable Privacy Mode/Maintenance Mode while testing on the Production site :slight_smile:
