Used wpmigrate pro to export entire site to local. site created in local shows 404 error. selecting wp admin for new site redirects to wp admin for live site. uninstalled local. reinstalled. same result. cleared all browser cache. same result. tried in chrome and firefox. same result.

reviewed existing support files. no change.
local is installed with admin privileges.

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.

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
• Restart Local/your machine
• Reimport the site back into Local. You can refer here on how to Restore from only Local site files
