Combining with CodeKitįor all my simple mostly-solo projects, I’ve long been a fan of having CodeKit watch the project, so I preprocess all my CSS and JavaScript, optimize my images, and all that good task runner stuff. There is a one-click button right in Local by Flywheel to trust the certificate. You probably want to trust that local certificate though to make it even smoother.īut wait! Don’t follow my awkward and slightly complex instructions.

Local by Flywheel doesn’t just make it easy, it automatically sets up HTTPS for you! And of course, it just works. We should be taking that another step further and be working locally over HTTPS, if our production sites are. With all the setup options Local by Flywheel offers, you can get your production and development versions of your site pretty close. The web is moving more and more toward all-HTTPS, which is fantastic. Just the information and controls you need! HTTPS (SSL) The super clean UI makes everything feel so easy and simple, despite it actually being complex and powerful.

Surely what Local by Flywheel is doing under the hood is quite complicated, but the UI for the app isn’t at all.
LOCAL BY FLYWHEEL WORDPRESS VERSION INSTALL
Just by picking a few options and giving the site a name, you’ve spun up a new WordPress install in a few seconds. Local by Flywheel spins up a local site for you with all the dependencies that WordPress needs. Running Multiple WordPress Installs (PHP, MySQL, Web Server) It does everything you want it to, well, with zero hassle, and nothing more. I heard about it from y’all when we did a poll not to long ago about local WordPress development. I’ve switched all my local WordPress development over to Local by Flywheel.
