Connect to any host that offers SSH, or maybe even just FTP with a PHP script for the db

Using Connect to Flywheel or WP Engine was always free, but now all the former Pro features are free for everyone!

It can be hard to solve for all the different infrastructures. Most of the hosts you mention here seem like “shared hosting” providers as opposed to “Managed WordPress hosting” – is that true?

The reason I ask is that typically that means that you’ll be including a number of plugins to do the things that a managed host would do for you. This includes things like taking backups (BackWPup, Vaultpress, etc) caching (WP Rocket, W3TotalCache), etc…

When using those kinds of plugins, there are likely a number of follow-up workflow tasks during deployment (like clearing cache). Can you describe in a little more detail what your current process is? I’d love to hear more – Does Mamp just handle all aspects of deployment for you or are there places where you still have manual processes?

That sounds like it might be a bug. Can you create a new topic in the support channel and provide a few more details around how to replicate?

Some details to include:

  • What version of Local are you using?
  • What Operating System and OS version is being used?
  • Include the Local Log. See this Community Forum post for instructions on how to do so:
  • If you are able to record a screencast of the issue, that goes a long way towards others being able to see and replicate what you are experiencing.
