Is there a way to keep the database running (so I can do inserts and updates) but stop the Wordpress instance (so it doesn’t interfere with the inserts)?
Troubleshooting Questions
If I stop the site, the database stops and I cannot connect to it.
Replication
Shut down the site in localwp and then try to connect to the MySQL database.
The short answer is no. I thought we had a feature request for this already but I can’t find it. If you’d like to create one to see if others want to vote/comment you can do that here: Feature requests - Local Community
