Unable to Proceed After Adding New Site in LocalWP

What issue or error are you experiencing?

Hello Community,

I’m experiencing an issue while trying to create a new site in LocalWP. After entering the site name, username, and password, I click the “Add Site” button, but nothing happens, and I cannot proceed to the next step.


I’ve attached the local-lightning.log file for reference, along with a screenshot of the issue.

Any assistance or insights would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!


System Details

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.

Hi @alamin

Is this a preferred site or a custom site?

Do you have any antivirus, security, or firewall applications that could be blocking Local?

Are you running other developer applications simultaneously? That could also cause similar issues. Apps like MAMP, XAMPP, or Docker for example.

no i don’t have these apps right now

I did that, but nothing changes

its happening for both

Hi @alamin

No security applications on your machine at all?

Are you running this machine as an admin user?
