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.
No, I have been using Local for a while. I can’t get it to work. I don’t understand why the root certificate isn’t trusted & I can’t find any information or method that works. I have tried it many times with different Wordpress installations.
The root certificate is never trusted under MacOS because more recent versions of Mac don’t allow for self-signed certificates (which is what Local generates and uses.)
Did you click through to the help doc that’s linked in the “Learn More” button of the error banner?
In particular, there’s a section there where you have to expand the “Trust” line and set the certificate to “Always Trust”
Can you give that a try and let us know how it goes?
Click on “Trust” - immediate red error message - yes I have read this!
Keychain access: as I noted the certificate has a “red x”
Unable to continue the advice from the “Help document” - it will not allow Always Trust!
How do I get the certificate to Trust when it is marked with a red x? The Learn More assumes there’s no “red x” on the certificate. I don’t understand how others with a Mac get it to work.
