My hard drive failed with my Local application, so I needed to reinstall the localWP install.
Troubleshooting Questions
I had 20 websites on my last install and they were saved to a different SSD in local folders
All the websites are present but it is not showing them in the new installation under “Local Sites”, I created a new website and that is showing within the SSD folder and is active. I just need to make the other 19 websites visible and active within LOCAL WP
Yes if you refer to the image attached, you will see the very top website ACSS folder, this is the last website I added once I reinstalled LOCAL onto my system, all the other files are previous websites from prior to my hard drive crash and subsequent reformatting , I kept all my websites separate to the operating system drive for this VERY reason. When I open up Local installation, ACSS is the only visible installation, yet is quite clearly saved alongside all my previous installations prior to the failure of the operating system hard drive
Can you try zipping up one of those sites you have access to that you showed in your original screenshot and drag it into Local (importing the site into Local)?
Let’s try that for one site and see if it works - it should if it has the wp-content folder as well as a sql database dump per the following help doc:
OK, my “LOCAL FOLDER” has approx. 30 websites, 4 of them were sites added after the reinstallation of LOCAL WP , I zipped one site and dragged it over to LOCAL WP and I initially I got the error (see attached image) but that was because there was already an unzipped file in my local folder, so I crossed my fingers and deleted the unzipped file and tried again…BOOM !!!
It worked - Thank you @sambrockway - sending a virtual hug , appreciate you “sticking” with me on this.
