Wanted to try the ready-to-use WordPress test site. I am getting this error while trying to import the theme. Highly likely this is not related to PG, but if anyone has encountered this error message… Thanks. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/pinegrow/original/2X/d/d9abf70e4b16816e42f6ea8eedc48d8e4aada7ed.png) ---

@red-rosefields Please, have a look at this message: > [@Unable to import PG WP site into Local](https://forum.pinegrow.com/t/unable-to-import-pg-wp-site-into-local/5155/4): > > I was able to import the site successfully by launching Local with Administrator privileges. Thank you for your help! ---

The chances were multiplied because we just talked about this topic ([ready-to-use WordPress test site](https://pinegrow.com/contact-us/#you-can-also-start-by-downloading-our-ready-to-use-wordpress-test-site)) in our latest newsletter 😉 ---

Morning! Well, might that not be a good place to link to this info then, say below the **High Sierra** issue, if you’re going to possibly be inundated with support calls for this issue? And is there another setup too, different environments? Yes, I know that the Flywheel thing is a sort of Beta testing of fw+pg and is free -but not much use if it doesn’t work. I was on High Sierra during my tryouts of Flywheel and their cludge of creating extra sites as ones were hanging didn’t work for me,and I always have enough problems getting stuff done with pg and playing with bugs and such fun stuff and so am loathe to start that process with yet another buggy app so ditched fw and so therefore all PG WP dev for some time. I’d like to try again though, just fw wasnt fit for purpose on my OS at the time. Might try again with Catalina OS, but FW is also a pretty huge bloat for what it does,compared to say # XAMPP [https://www.apachefriends.org](https://www.apachefriends.org) # MAMP > **[MAMP & MAMP PRO - your local web development solution for PHP and...](https://www.mamp.info/en/mac/)** > > MAMP GmbH is the manufacturer of the award-winning MAMP software. # Mamp Pro > **[MAMP PRO - Your local web development solution](https://www.mamp.info/en/mamp-pro/windows/)** # AAMPS by Softaculous [http://ampps.com/mamp](http://ampps.com/mamp) # Native apache/mysql/php etc On various OS’s # GASMASK (Mac OS) localhost edits + alternatives for other os’.- just for using with the above Native local hosting options [https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/29949/gas-mask](https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/29949/gas-mask) or ON GITHUB > **[2ndalpha/gasmask](https://github.com/2ndalpha/gasmask)** > > Hosts file manager for OS X. Contribute to 2ndalpha/gasmask development by creating an account on GitHub. Yep! I know, that’s a lot of head work there with a squillion permutations but it would be nice/Great to see what else others use for their environments. That’s without the whole docker thing… And what looks like the new kid on the block # DevKinsta > **[Frequently Asked Questions - DevKinsta](https://kinsta.com/knowledgebase/devkinsta/faq/)** > > Get answers to some common questions you may have while using DevKinsta, including how you can use and install it, and the operating systems it supports. Which is based on Docker (WHICH IVE NEVER USED!) But again, look at those resources! Jesus! 5-10 GB and 2010 hardware (mac) for MMU support etc? Flywheel seems like a great free option, but its buggy, didn’t work, bloated and if you actually want to use flywheel to _PUSH_ you site to a server then \*Features currently supported for Flywheel and WP Engine customers. [Request a host here.](https://localwp.com/host-interest) So you’rde paying $20 a month to use that **FREE** feature, as- … it only works with thier WP Engine hosting!! SO, you have to buy NEW expensive _WP Engine_ hosting, in order to use this **FREE** feature, even if you’ve already got your own hosting setting up somewhere else? mmm…no thanks. SO EVEN though it’s included in their **“free”** version, you cant actually use it! Unless you have their and ONLY their hosting. MAMP Pro can do the push with ANY hosting …although I will admit, the older versions I used…were a bit buggy with thier _One Click Installers_ -ie, for Wordpress etc.-and sometimes just didnt work at all! So yes!
