Sorry that Local is freezing when adding WordPress, @Kendrix. Please could you try these steps?
- Quit Local and restart your machine.
- Open the Finder and choose Go → Go To Folder.
- Paste
~/Library/Application Support/Local/cached-wordpress
and press Enter. - This should open a Finder window showing cached versions of WordPress:
- Delete all
wordpress-*.tar.gz
files in that folder. - Open Local.
- Delete the site you previously tried to create (it likely won’t run because WordPress didn’t finish setting up).
- Attempt to create a new site.
If Local freezes on the “Adding WordPress…” step again, try steps 2-8 once more. If they still don’t help, please share your Local Logs here.
