Local not pulling WPEngine site on Ubuntu

[michaelm]

Issue Summary

I have Local set up on Ubuntu. I have connected to WPEngine with the API credentials. The message says that the site has successfully downloaded, but there are no WordPress files in the local site folder. Further, there is not database. yes, I did check the box to download the database.

  Yes

I’m having the same exact issue on Manjaro. Tried to reconnect to WP Engine, but the issue persists.

[michaelm]

Same here. No response from LocalWP yet.

Any updates? I have same problem.

[michaelm]

No, not a peep. I’m only going to use this for spinning up local site for testing. The WPEngine integration isn’t there yet and there is zero response from the authors.

Disappointing considering the time I sank into it.

[MaxWatson94]

I trying old versions. I’ll post here if it’s successful

[MaxWatson94]

Installing older versions didn’t help.
But I found a solution for myself. Perhaps this will help you too.

1. I created a new backup
2. Downloaded it
3. Made a zip archive import to locale

I was given some warnings, but I turned them off with this
wp-config.php

ini_set('display_errors','Off');
ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL );
define('WP_DEBUG', false);
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);
