7,142 PointsCannot connect to the Wordpress dev site
Hi, I am doing the Wordpress track and have installed it locally on my computer. Today I can't access the dev site that I created, no matter what I do. The internet connection is fine, there is no enabled firewall. I have no adblocker. I am using Chrome on a Mac. This is the message I get:
This site canβt be reached
hollylogan.dev refused to connect. Try: Checking the connection Checking the proxy and the firewall ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
This is also happening at mathewsdrainage.dev/wp-admin.
I don't know what else I can do. Please help, thank you.

How are you serving up the site locally? MAMP, Desktop Server, Vagrant etc.
Generally, these need to be running for the local version of the site to load in the browser.
Thanks, Mark
