I’m reading over the WP Engine literature and it appears their sites may be positioned to survive the 7.4 upgrade without major changes to the the htaccess file. I still prefer to stay at PHP 7.3 but I’m having trouble transfering my site to Local with 7.3 PHP.
Can you describe in a little more detail the trouble you are running into transferring the site? Are you making use of Local Connect to pull the site down?
