Newbie in town… cannot access internet via Wordpress in flywheel I server configuration problem

Thank you for your software, I really find it very useful. I just installed flywheel and manage three sites at the moment. One think I really like is the possibility of ceating a live link!

Unfortunately I have an issue with getting from my WP-Site into the internet, I cannot download any plugins or themes directly or register for anything online:

For example I get the following note when trying to install a plugin:

Warning: An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with WordPress.org or this server’s configuration. If you continue to have problems, please try the support forums. (WordPress could not establish a secure connection to WordPress.org. Please contact your server administrator.) in /app/public/wp-admin/includes/plugin-install.php on line 168
An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with WordPress.org or this server’s configuration. If you continue to have problems, please try the support forums.

Could this be a problem with my MacOs – I have MacOs 10.9.5 and am working with Firefox and Wordpress/Elementor. I also allowed Flywheel to access the Internet via „Little Snitch“.

Or do you have any other suggestion?

thank you,

I’m sorry about the troubles you’re having. I think this article might be able to help you along: Help! My Local site cannot establish a connection to WordPress.org. If the issue persists after trying that could you respond with the version of Local you are using and a log file.

I’m having this exact same issue, even following that article.

  • Using Local by Flywheel v2.4.5
  • macOS Mojave 10.14.2 Beta
