Local 5.x Issues

Hi @fabiofava,

Sorry for missing this! I appreciate the clearly-written bullet points :slight_smile:

Can you please send me a copy of this? Alternatively, a site export will work. My e-mail is clay@getflywheel.com.

OLD - I still can’t open the DB for any Local WordPress site using Sequel Pro. It starts with a message of “crash on last session”, even when it didn’t happen. Adminer works but Sequel Pro has multiple advantages for DB editors.

This is a bug with MySQL 8 and Sequel Pro. Either switch to MySQL 5.7 or update Sequel Pro to the nightly that can be downloaded here: Test Builds

OLD - I’m not sure why /?cache-buster=whatever is placed after any URL when sites are being loaded from Local (I’m on a Mac with Mojave system).

Noted. This was added to prevent browser redirects. We may add the option to disable this at some point if there’s enough interest. Feel free to create a feature request here if there isn’t already one: https://feedback.localwp.com/

OLD - I’ve been testing Redis Object Cache plugin on WordPress, to discover that Local is now using Predis, wich was abandoned by development. Local by Flywheel 3.x was using PhpRedis, an outdated version but was still much better than Predis.

This is primarily due to Local not shipping with the PhpRedis extension. We can look into re-adding this if necessary. Again, I recommend creating a feature request here so we can gauge interest and prioritize it: https://feedback.localwp.com/

OLD - As related by many, the Update (in-app) doesn’t work on Mac. We’re being forced to download every new version and overwrite on the Apps folder. Indeed it’s keeping sites and preferences, wich is good.

Interesting! I haven’t seen this for quite some time. I recommend trying the commands here: [macOS] Help! Local isn't automatically updating! - FAQ - Local Community
