I’m unable to pull a site that is connected through WPEngine, I’m able to create sites from scratch but not pull sites that are already up. I receive an error saying “Could not update hosts file”.
PS: I have Rosetta 2
What steps can be taken to replicate the issue? Feel free to include screenshots, videos, etc
Thanks for the prompt reply! It does start the site and pull files that way but now WP Admin isn’t accepting my credentials when running the local site. I use the same credentials to log in to the live site WP Admin.
Edit: This is not a problem that occurs with every website only some for whatever reason
Glad that you got back in! Now that you have access to the backend you should be able to add or reset the password for the user that you were intending to use from the beginning.
If you click the Download Local Logs button from the Support tab in Local. That will automatically generate a zip archive that contains all of your logs bundled together for us!
Thank you @jason_bourne! It does look like this is related to some of the issues we’ve been seeing on the WPE side recently. The Devs are aware of this and looking into it, but for now we don’t have a clear cut workaround. If you need to get the changes up right away you might have to use something like SSH, SFTP or a migration method.
In the meantime, we just released a Beta version of Local v8.3.0 which may fix the issue you’re seeing. If not, at a minimum, it will provide more detailed logging that will be valuable in helping the dev team and me track down what’s going on. Would you be willing to try it out and let us know if it fixes it? Local Beta 8.3.0
If it fails, if you could upload the logs that would be super helpful!
Unfortunately, the problem with the missing host file is persisting - my only workaround is using a zip backup file to make a local env and then use SFTP to move the files over @austinwendt
