HTTP Loopback Connections are not enabled on this server. when PHP tries to connect back to the site at the URL http://theblackpriest.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php and it gets the error `cURL error 28:

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.

Hi @3levilucyleah

What is the domain of the site in your Local app? Your error is mentioning theblackpriest.com but in Local your domain should be something like theblackpriest.local or localhost:10003 depending on what your Router Mode is set to.

http://theblackpriestcom.local

That’s the icon i keep getting and it will freeze my the whole WP app

One thing you could try is using the Open Shell function in Local, and then in your Site Shell run the CLI command wp plugin deactivate --all. This will disable all of your plugins and you can see if the error stays or goes away. If it goes away then it might be specific to a plugin and you can turn them back on one at a time to see when it returns.

You could also try swapping to a default theme and see if that works as well.

Hi Nick B,

I took your advise and downloaded a fresh theme and it worked perfectly.

Many thanks
