### Issue Summary

I am using “file\_get\_contents” to load a json file from my theme (functions.php). Locally, everything works fine, but when I open the site via a Live Link I get an error:

( ! ) Warning: file\_get\_contents([https://official-circle.localsite.io/wp-content/themes/l4f/dist/parcel-manifest.json](https://official-circle.localsite.io/wp-content/themes/l4f/dist/parcel-manifest.json)): Failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized in /Users/bernhardpoppe/Local Sites/l4f/app/public/wp-content/themes/l4f/functions.php on line 56

The code that causes the problem:  
$manifest = file\_get\_contents(get\_template\_directory\_uri() . “/dist/parcel-manifest.json”);

#### System Details

- Which version of Local is being used? → Local 6.2.1
- What Operating System (OS) and OS version is being used? → MacOS Monterey
