I am having issue in local app. when i create a new site and with any credential’s and try to login to the site. when i enter my login info. it redirects me to the same wp login page and does not login me to the site. but when i check the one click admin to ON. it login to the site. This issue happened in three or four sites that i created. I have a the latest version of local by flywheel.

I am also having this exact same issue. New laptop, Windows 11.

I had ~20 site set up and maybe 4 of them allowed me to log in to admin but the rest just kept redirecting back to the login page nd cant get into wp-admin.

Same happened even if setting a test site up from scratch.
