Local site trying to connect to Wordpress Admin

What issue or error are you experiencing?

New here. I created a local site and clicked the Wordpress admin button and this is the error that I get. " This ecomm-test-site.local page can’t be found

No webpage was found for the web address: http://ecomm-test-site.local/wp-admin/?localwp_auto_login=1

HTTP ERROR 404"

What can I do?


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.

There might be an issue with the credentials you’re using for the site.

–admin_user=showit admin

Can you make sure your username and password don’t have any spaces or special characters? This is a known issue with Windows.

If you need to, you can create a new user with the Site Shell function:
