After a website import error, Local does display any more.
I had an issue with a website import which stopped. Local stopped working so I had to force quit.
Since then when I launch Local the app launches but I do not have any window opening or access to any thing.
I have uninstalled and installed 10 times, rebooted my Mac 3 times; nothing happens.

Hey @xam - Welcome to the Local Community Forums!
That’s definitely odd behavior. I notice that the computer is running MacOS Bigsur. Local should work, but I wonder if there’s an issue with the latest version of Local?
As a test, can you download an earlier version of Local and try running it? As a start, let’s try the 7.1.2
That seems like an older release, but it’s also the latest one before we upgraded the bundled version of PHP to the 8.x line.
After giving that a try, can you also provide your Local logs? This help doc outlines a couple of ways to get the logs, even if Local doesn’t show a window:
Hi @ben.turner
thanks for the workaround.
What’s strange is that it was working as expected at first, it’s really after the website creation issue that it did not any more.
So now I have a window when I installed version 7.1.2 and it seems to work.
What is not working is the update that I have when it opens. It warns me that I do not have the latest version, I update and relaunch, but it opens again the 7.1.2. I installed it 3 times in a row and had the same behaviour.
Here are the logs for you to check.

Hi @ben.turner . I’ve got unfortunately the same problem. I’ve tried to install 7.1.2 and it worked, but when I’ve rebooted, I can’t see any Local WP window again.
Please help me. I’ve attached the log files.

@Webcommitment did Local work for you in the past and then stop suddenly? Or was this your first time trying it?
@xam were you able to get things working?
@Nick-B We’ve been using Local WP for years. It happened when I’ve tried to import a site (first time I did it).
In order to refresh here and start with a clean slate could you give the below troubleshooting steps a try?
Make sure any sites you’ve made or tried to import are saved. Even if you can’t access Local you should be able to manually locate the site files on your device to copy and save them. They’ll be in /Local Sites.
Fully uninstall Local from your computer following the steps for your OS here: Uninstall Local - Local
Install the latest version of Local on this link: Releases - Local
Once installed, please restart the computer.
When the computer is restarted and turned on, close any applications that automatically run in the background (AntiVirus, Firewall, and other Developer applications included).
Check and see if the issue still persists. If so, please provide us with an updated log: Retrieve Local’s Log File - Local
