Issue Summary
Tried to change name of site, rookie move, and renamed some of its files to ‘match’ thinking it would pull info with no problem from the site files, now of course site is gone.
Troubleshooting Questions
- Are you able to create a new, plain WordPress site in Local and access it in a Browser? I now can not create a new local site, Google keeps telling me I don’t have permissions to make changes to Drive (I keep my files in my GOogle Drive cloud account)
Replication
Describe the steps that others can take to replicate this issue. I changed the name in Local, then thought I needed to change the domain to match, then figured I better change the file names to reflect the url/local site name and that it would read correctly. CLearly a bad idea.

Security Reminder
Local does a pretty good job of scrubbing private info from the logs and the errors it produces, however there’s always the possibility that something private can come through. Because these are public forums, always review the screenshots you are sharing to make sure there isn’t private info like passwords being displayed.
