Downloaded one of my sites from Flywheel and imported it on Local. I can’t access to the site from my local machine because of this error.
ERROR: $table_prefix in wp-config.php can only contain numbers, letters, and underscores.
Hi there,
Sorry for the trouble!
What type of environment are you importing the site into? Preferred or custom?
I am importing it into Preferred
Hey, Clay, it’s been 5 days since I replied to you. Can you help, please?
I’m looking into this now.
Thanks for your patience!
I just tried importing that site and it looks like there are 5 different sets of WordPress tables. Local couldn’t figure out which set to use since Flywheel backups only contain an SQL file and wp-content and any non-WordPress root file. This issue will be resolved when the Local/Flywheel connection is available.
So, to fix this you can simply open wp-config.php for that site and then change $table_prefix to wp_
Hey Clay,
Thanks for your reply.
I did follow your instructions, but it’s till not working. Please see screenshots attached.
Ah, sorry about that! I wasn’t clear with what I said 
Try changing that line to $table_prefix = 'wp_';
Try removing wp_847_usermeta down to wpve_usermeta';
The only thing that should be in that screenshot is that grayed out text and then $table_prefix = 'wp_';

Hold on! Actually, I deleted COMPASS from my flywheel account and now the site on the local server isn’t working anymore!!
I’ve passed this onto our support team.
Hang tight!
