System details

  • Local v6.3.1+5826

Update after restarting my computer a couple of times and switching to and from Site Domain and localhost I was able to access my sites again. Perhaps a Linux update interfered with the port?

Interesting. I actually just skirted the issue by creating a new install of WordPress and migrating everything I was testing from the old site to the new one since the database works without issue on the new site. The urgency to find a solution is gone, but I still want to fix the old site.

I do see that every time I open Local, I get an alert telling me that their is a new version of Local. Although I downloaded it, I am not sure how to apply the update since I am on Ubuntu… Any ideas?

On elementaryOS I use a package manager called Eddy for LocalWP updates. You can use that or similar on Ubuntu`

hmm that sounds like a good idea. I think I used apt-get, thank you.
