I just singed up to note that SHOW FOLDER is still not working. It was working before but I updated to the latest version today and now that no longer works.

In the mean time, could someone please remind me where local stores its site folders on a Windows machine.

Great product!

Thanks!

Hey @sirlou and @munyagu , Welcome to the Local Community Forums!

You’re right that the “Show Folder” link isn’t working when right-clicking, but you should be able to get to those files by click the little “circle with arrow” button to the right of the file path. See this reply for a screenshot:

To your specific question of where this is on Windows:

By default, Local stores the sites directly under your user’s home folder, in a folder called Local Sites.
