# Bug Summary When we activate a site to “start”, sometimes in the sidebar, I see a website randomly running while it’s actually NOT running and I did not touch it. And when I click on it, the site is not even active. # Steps to reproduce I open Local and go to a website title or create a new one and start the site. Then the last site that was open appears to be active in the sidebar. # Environment Info Describe your environment. - What Operating System are you using? MacOS 13.4.1 (22F82) - What versions of site software (Nginx, Apache, PHP, MySQL) is used? N/A but Nginx - What version of Local is installed? 7.0.2+6395 # Supporting info Please provide your Local Log. See this Community Forum post for instructions on how to do so: [local-logs1.zip](https://community.localwp.com/uploads/short-url/nRmzAeTKiaO8M3pbPZA2z8Gkdn.zip) (108.7 KB) Include any screenshots or video recordings of the issue to help others reproduce.

This is a known issue, with listed fixes: > [@Local UI Showing Websites in a "Start" State Incorrectly - macOS](https://community.localwp.com/t/local-ui-showing-websites-in-a-start-state-incorrectly-macos/37210/15): > > This is not a new issue, as I’ve been seen it for at least 6 months. A search here found only older posts, but I did not find one with a resolution. I’ve attached a bit more info: screen shot showing 2 sites supposedly running, but neither of them are. I have also seen up to 3 sites in this mode/status. ---

Yes, this has been known for _at least_ 6 months. I have tried the few purported “fixes” and they do not help the issue on my MBP M1, MacOS Monterey. And the most concerning part is the inconsistency with the issue; sometimes clicking “Stop All” does clear any/all sites marked as “running,” but not always. And I once had 3 sites marked “running” but only 1 was actually; clicking “Stop All” at that instance stopped 1 of the 3. ---

Thanks for sending this to me. I will see if that fixes the issue. Though it could come back again! ---

Hopefully we get this fixed soon! ---
