Getting a "Uh Oh We Ran Across an Issue when pulling From WP Engine" error

I’m trying to connect to a website on WPE but getting this error. Can you please help me resolve this? This is the only site I’m having an issue with.



I’m running on a Macbook Air.

  • **Local Version:Version 9.2.4+6788

  • **Operating System (OS) and OS version: MAC OS Sonoma 14.6.1

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.

Thanks for sharing your log, @ehudsonchoicelocal.

The section below suggests you may have a file on the remote under /wp-content/temp/elfHp49FI/wp-content/themes/goldfishswim-understrap-child/ that rsync is struggling to download.

If you don’t need these files under the (non-standard) wp-content/temp/ path on the remote, you could try backing up and removing them, then attempting the pull with Local again.

If that does not work you could try exporting the site with WP Migrate and importing into Local instead of pulling directly.
