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.

Because Apache was installed manually on the computer, you’ll need to either:

  1. Stop running apache/nginx before running Local.
  2. Configure Local to use the localhost Router Mode.

The “Router Mode” feature allows you to choose between using localhost or a human readable site-domain (something like example.local) to access the WordPress site. You can change this setting by navigating to the “Preferences > Advanced > Router Mode” page.
