Using Local by Flywheel for WP install and confused

    Hello, I downloaded Local by Flywheel (as advised by a Lynda video) today and had to use the LocalHost Router-Mode to get it to work. I tried turning off the Windows IIS, and Site Domains Router-Mode still didn’t work. I also found something in PID3900 listening to Port 80 called mqsvc, but I did an internet search about that and it looked way too important to turn off, so I left that on.

    Anyways, in this Localy by Flywheel local-host mode it does not support SSL or https.
    Does the Router-Mode in which we develop our WordPress site matter at all once we launch our site through whichever webhost we choose eventually? For example I have my domain names currently with Dreamhost and looks like they support WordPress quite a bit. But will having a LocalHost Router-Mode going mess things up in the real world? Or once I somehow design and then launch my website to Dreamhost, will they automatically change it to be all https and secure?

    I plan on making an e-commerce site with 3D model viewing (found at least a couple WordPress plug-ins that say they can do that).

    Thanks for any help!

    You may wait and hope and pray that someone here may be familiar enough with “Local by Flywheel” and answer your question…

    But I’m thinking you have a better chance of getting a quicker and better response if you were to post this question to the tool’s developers. They have an active community support forum here: https://localwp.com/community/

    Good luck!

    WordPress will run as localhost on IIS if PHP and MySQL are installed. Have you tried that?
