Persistent Live Links 404 on Windows — local site works correctly

Feature requests
1

Hello,

My WordPress site works correctly at http://experteam.local, but its Live Link consistently returns a plain 404 page, including when accessing /wp-login.php.

Environment:

  • Local: 10.1.2+7004
  • Windows build: 10.0.26200
  • Web server: nginx 1.26.1
  • PHP: 8.2.29
  • MySQL: 8.4.0
  • WordPress: 7.1
  • Local domain: experteam.local
  • Current Live Link: https://roomy-shake.localsite.io

The site is running, Live Links is enabled, and Local remains open.

Troubleshooting already performed:

  • Disabled and re-enabled Live Links.
  • Regenerated the Live Link URL. Both the previous and current URLs return 404.
  • Confirmed that “Open site” successfully displays the local website.
  • Tested /wp-login.php through the Live Link: same plain 404.
  • Compared DNS resolution using the network’s DNS server and Cloudflare (1.1.1.1): both return 35.225.24.88.

HTTPS test:

curl.exe -I https://roomy-shake.localsite.io/wp-login.php

Response:

HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 13:42:31 GMT
keep-alive: timeout=5
strict-transport-security: max-age=15768000

The attached logs show the local database responding and the nginx router starting. They do not identify the cause of the Live Link failure.

I cannot test the computer running Local on another network or through a mobile hotspot.

I read the discussion at Live link gives 404, including the staff response advising against adding *.localsite.io to the local nginx configuration. I have not applied that workaround.

Please check whether the public hostname is correctly associated with my active tunnel and advise which additional diagnostics are needed.

The Local logs archive is attached.

Hi @JhNt7! It doesn’t look like your Local Logs attached. Can you reshare those here?
