Updated Local has long warning in 'wordpress version' - what to do, please?

Hi @Confusa -

There is a thread regarding imagick (that’s what I’m seeing referenced in your errors provided) - I would start here:

PHP 7.4.1 and Windows 10 lead to WP-CLI: Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'php_imagick.dll'

I also am having this issue. I’ve just updated to Local 6.1.2 and the issue persists with PHP 7.4.1, but is not present with PHP 7.3.5. Since the errors also referenced a file named php_php_imagick.dll.dll, I made a copy of the existing .dll file and named it to match, but that didn’t help either. I am also on Windows 10. There is nothing in the Local log files.

To connect a site via Local you can import it following these steps:

Import/Export a WordPress Site

The import requires 2 files:

1. The wp-content folder (containing plugins, themes, and uploads)
2. A database dump as a sql file

So you’ll want to be sure those are in the file you’re importing.

I hope this helps!
