I actually have to resort to go on reddit myself for an issue that I would usually always find solutions myself, I installed localwp to make websites and constantly keep getting the same error, it basically asks for admin controlcfor drivers/etc/hosts file.
No clickable option? Or anything.
I have looked up thousands of forums, reddit posts, and google threads and tried every single individual possible solutions, nothing worked so far.
I’m throwing out some of the things I did do:
Hosts file is not on read-only
Deleted and made a new host file (with the proper text)
Included my website in the hostfile as following;
(Local numbers) (sitename-local)
Go deeper in hosts properties by allowing write&execute and more on almost every other clickable option
I tried making a new wordpress site, a new clean install which all was no luck.
I’m basically *absolutely* mindblown how I cannot get this thing to work, my only assumption now is that I maybe need to have a path exclusion to exactly the hosts folder but where do I put it? I tried to do it in windows settings aswell but that didn’tt work either, did anyone else have this issue? What could be the problem?
I do not have a single anti virus thing besides maybe windows itself and windows defender, which I turned off to try, still no luck…
