Days ago I downloaded the latest version of Local version 6.1.8, uninstalled the previous version and reinstalled that latest version. I cannot create a Wordpress website in Local, as it generates the following error:
There’s a couple of things that I’d check – many of the errors in the Local log make me think that there’s something locking down processes on the computer.
You might try temporarily disabling any antivirus software that’s installed and see if that allows you to create sites. If it does, then there might be some configuration steps within those antivirus settings that would allow Local to create sites.
