Unable to fetch WordPress version from wp-includes/version.php -- 9-20-2018

Hey @billstinson1967

This error can be caused by a number of things each with different solutions. Here are some steps that I would try first:

  1. Stop and restart the site within Local
  2. Stop the site and restart Local
  3. Stop the site and restart the computer

Sometimes the file system mounts need to be refreshed, and restarting various parts of Local can help get those refreshed.

If you still have issues, can you attach some screenshots of the error you are seeing? Can you also please provide your local-by-flywheel.log file? See
How do I retrieve Local’s log file?” for instructions on how to do so.

Let us know if any of that works, or get us those logs so we can take a closer look.
