What issue or error are you experiencing?
I’m new here and trying to get this to work but not doing very well so sorry for these ramblings….
I have it set up on Mac. I have my first website built and working fine. The problem I have is with Live Links not showing images and some custom fonts. Images in the gallery or used as a background are displaying OK but others on the page are not.
My website URL created by Local is: http://localhost:10009/
I have read many articles which seem to suggest my Local URL should be something like mysite.local not localhost or have I got that wrong?
When I inspect the blank Live Live image in a browser, the image source is shown and is correctly using the Live Link generated URL. If I use that URL the image can be displayed. So why won’t it display on my page even though it is correct?
My Local URL is: http://localhost.10009/
My Live Link URL is: https://swift-sweater.localsite.io/
Just taking one image:
It is displayed correctly I’m my Local site and this is the URL from inspection:
http://localhost:10009/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Acrobatics-1-scaled.jpg
The same image is blank in Live Link and this is the URL:
http://swift-sweater.localsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Acrobatics-1-scaled.jpg
When this URL is used you can open the image but the URL changes to https://
I’m confused.
Any help would be appreciated.
What steps can be taken to replicate the issue? Feel free to include screenshots, videos, etc.

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.
