Was working all night on a new project, and today no project can be opened! I’m getting the following error:

“Connect to Flywheel does not support:  
Sites without WordPress installed”

This error was in a previous thread, but the only solution was to log out of the Flywheel account and back in- I did that, didn’t work.

Help is appreciated!

Hey @john137 –

When you restart the Local and have a site active (ie, clicked on in the app), can you try clicking on another site and then clicking back to the original site?

Does that help remove the error message?

Did that work for you @john137 ?

I’d like to zero in on if that workaround is successful as it might help narrow down where the bug is.
