• I used Local by Flywheel to create a local version of my site to install a new theme.

    I used the plugin “all in one migration,” believe that’s what it’s called, to export a copy of my files from my live site to my local site.

    When I imported my site to the local copy, I received a message to update permalinks. I clicked on that link, and another window pops up to update my database. Upon doing this, I am prompted to log in again to my site.

    The problem is, I can no longer log in. I tried the “forgot password” feature, and it doesn’t recognize my email address.

    Somewhere in this migration, the wp-config or wp-login php files have become corrupt, that’s my guess.

    By the way, I can see the local site and interact with it as a visitor, I just can’t log in as an administrator.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]
