Updated MAMP & now can't get my local WordPress running

  • The installation of the new version (5.5.10) of MAMP seemed to go fine on my MacBook until I tried to open the local WordPress site I was using on the previous version of MAMP. I’ve been working on this problem for more than 4 hours. I’m able to start the servers and open localhost:8888 which gives me the html version of my site’s home page with no CSS from the WordPress site working. I’m not even sure how to describe the problem I’m having. I just know that I was able to login to a local WordPress site using the old version of MAMP and now I can’t figure out how to log back into WordPress again in the new version. Can anyone help me figure this out.

    danwpc, thanks for the information you posted about your experience upgrading to Yosemite and the latest version of MAMP. Back when I originally posted, I was working on a website as a volunteer so I had a couple of people who helped figure things out – thanks to all the information and suggestions in the posts from others in this thread. I was never able to sort out all the issues on my own, as I was a bit behind on the tech side of things, but you’ve now inspired me to try to sort through things again so I can learn the entire process. As I mentioned above, everyone who has posted was very thorough, patient, and knowledgeable. I will just start again at the beginning and work on learning about the processes described in the thread. So, thanks again, everyone for your help.

    I’m guessing I should I mark the topic as “resolved” now (even if I personally was not able to sort things out entirely). Or do I leave it open for others to comment?
