Various plugins etc are complaining about the WP site I’ve put on LocalWP.
What do I need to do?
Browser shows “Not secure”, https was struck-through.
“Certificate is not valid” etc.
In LocalWP settings, I have enabled “Trust”. When I click “Trust”, and have to enter my Mac system password, an orange bar pops up: “Heads-up! We ran into an issue trusting the Local SSL certificate.”
I see the guide at https://localwp.com/help-docs/ssl/managing-local-sites-ssl-certificate-in-macos/
If I ignore the orange banner and go to Keychain Access, I look for both sitename.local Keychains for “login” and “System”, then flip Trust to “Always Trust”…
I see now that, on the actual WordPress site, there is no SSL error in the URL bar, there is a padlock icon.
But, on the admin side, I still have “Not Secure”. “https” is not struck-through not, but still “Not Secure”. If I explore the certificate from this icon, I can see that Trust is also now “Always Trust” (previously, when I was changing that setting from inside the browser, it wasn’t sticking).
Actually, now, after doing that and force-refreshing a variety of dashboard pages, it seems like I’m getting the padlock to stay around sometimes but not other times.
The Debug Bar plugin is showing a Red error seeming to relate to @afragen’s WP-Debugging plugin, whilst on the plugins.php list…
- Method: HEAD
- URL: https://mysite.local/wp-content/plugins/wp-debugging/vendor/afragen/wp-dismiss-notice/js/dismiss-notice.js
- Code: http_request_failed
… and I’ve seen others. For example, on update-core.php…

All related, I think (?), but I don’t understand it properly.
Help.
