Why is live link not working? thank you
Hey Vladimir! Howāre you doin?
So, it depends a lot on your network setup, it may be a lot of thingsā¦
But for starters, did you wait some time to see if it works? Upon starting a site, and creating a live link, sometimes there is a brief moment that Local is setting things up, so it can take some minutes to get it going.
Also, can you post your Local log so the community can help you further? If you need help with that:
Im doing awesome, thanks. I notice when I changed setting to āpreferredā it works buy not when I use ācustomā settings
Localās Log
local-by-flywheel.log (276.1 KB)
First, looks like your SQL Dump backup is not workingā¦ Check if the folder /Local Sites/yoursite/conf/sql exists, and if thereās something in itā¦ Because of this line on the log:
Error copying MySQL config { message:
āENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat 'C:/Users/*redacted*/Local Sites/*redacted*/conf/mysql/'ā
Another thing, is if there is any ngrok logsā¦ You can check /Local Sites/yoursite/logs folder and see if there is any folder called āngrokā.
ngrok is the software that generates the Live Link feature, that way we can see if theres any error thereā¦
I fixed it by deleting and creating a new site. thank you

when i dont use the builder/template it does show the site
Check your .htaccess if there is anything out of the ordinary.
There is something that is creating a redirect loop
I wish I new how to do that, I guess i will not be using the software. I thought the software was made to make web building more simple. I appreciate you trying to help 
Hey Vladimir, Iām sorry you see that way, but indeed there are still some technical matters that may be tackled when using Local. Still, the app brings a great deal of simplicity compared to the real deal, configuring local environments by hand or using VMsā¦ If you think this requires technical knowledge, let along the complete development process.
To get into this world of developing and using local environments you really will have to dig even a little into the technical side of it. If you are interested, you can read some articles about redirect loops and Apache .htaccess, which controls the access to your files when browsing a website.
Or you can use systems made to oversimplify (which means you lose a lot of control of your website, and they tend to be paid) the development and creation of sites, like Wordpress itself.
it was Thrive Themes (not using anymore), it works now. thank you
Glad to know! Maybe someone with the same problem can see this topic and know whats wrong as well ;D
Hi Vladimir.
I know this is an old thread but Iām experiencing the same problem you had and Iām also using Thrive Themes. Did you ever manage to resolve this and go back to using Thrive ?
Thanks
