Local is running but nothing happens

Sorry that you ran into this, @marcaureleg.

You could try this on macOS (Windows users reading this when Local doesn’t launch should try these steps instead):

  1. Quit Local if it’s running.
  2. Open the Finder.
  3. Choose Go → Go to Folder… from the Finder menu.
  4. Paste ~/Library/Application Support/Local and press Enter.
  5. Rename the sites-organization.json file to sites-organization-old.json and sites.json to sites-old.json.
  6. Start Local.

If Local then starts it will not show any sites, but don’t panic — you can import them manually from their original location on disk:

  1. Open the Finder, choose Go → Go to Folder…, paste ~/Local Sites and press enter.
  2. Right click each of your sites folders and choose “Compress [name of site]” to make a zip file from each site folder.
  3. Drag each zip file into Local to import it (you may have to give it a new name).
