You can rename a WP Engine account now, but the list in Local’s push/pull feature still shows the original name. I just set up a new account for a client, and the name “esmbc9kx46p5mt” was randomly generated upon purchase. I changed the name in the WPE dashboard, but Local still shows the original now when selecting a site.
Thanks for the report, @cbirdsong. The next version of Local will fix this to show your WPE account nickname. It should be out this month, but I don’t have an exact timeline yet.
A fix for this is available in Local 9.2.6, out now.
