Upon creating a new site, I am unable to login using the admin credentials that I set during the config stage. (Yes I have ruled out spelling mistakes). Therefore my site is useless as I can not login to the dashboard.
Any Ideas?
I would recommend using WP-CLI. Here’s how:
- Right-click on the site in Local and go to Open Site SSH
- Enter
wp user update admin --user_pass=newpassword
Of course you may need to change admin and/or newpassword.
Thank you! That worked!
However, I realized that even though you set a default admin password, it does not keep it. You are sent a new one via email, which I learned you must go to ‘Utilities -> Mailcatcher’ to find such emails. I must have missed that step when first installing Local.
So my issue was user error rather than a bug in the setup process.
Glad to hear it!
As long as you provide a password when adding a site it should use it. Did you enable multi-site by chance?
I am creating 7 total sites, 5 of which use Multisite.
