    I agree with Brett. I’ve experienced the same port conflict when I was using XAMPP or MAMP.

    There are two (2) workarounds that solved the issue.

    OPTION 1: Set Router Mode to Localhost. This will allow Local to  automatically find available port on your computer. Downside, your local site installation will use localhost as domain name instead of your site domain. But it shouldn’t matter in the development. See short clip and instruction below:

      • Go to Menu >> Preferences >> Advanced
      • Set Router Mode from the default “Site Domains” to “localhost”
      • Click Apply
      • Exit menu by click x button on the upper right.
      • It will prompt a warning to fix domain, just click fix it and it should automatically reconfigure your site installation domain setup.

    OPTION 2: Stop HTTP function on Windows (I’m not sure how to do it on Mac or Linux).

      • Open CMD with Admin privilege – right click CMD icon, go to more and select Run as Administrator.
      • Type net stop http and press enter.
      • It’ll prompt you with ” Do you want to continue this operation (Y/N)”. Just press Y and hit enter.
      • Wait for it to finish terminating several services.
      • Run Local again and make sure Router Mode is in “Site Domains” mode

    I have been a victim of website hacking on because of my previous hosting, so it doesn’t matter how you secure your site if your hosting isn’t secure, you’d still get hacked. That’s the first thing you have to see to it.

    Then the basic thing I do for most of my sites is to install SSL + CloudFlare + reCaptcha v3 (for spams).

    For advanced security, WordFence Or Sucuri based on my experience. I only use them for enterprise clients.

    Other habits,

    • Monthly updates and backups (adjust timing accordingly)
    • Rewrite common URLs
    • Don’t use admin as user
    • Rewrite theme names (use wp hide – vulnerabilities of wp, themes and plugins are constantly targeted)

    Hope that helps.

    There can be several factors causing this kind of error. In my experience, this is usually due to plugins or theme conflicts that may happen after updating theme.

    To troubleshoot for possible plugin conflict, you need to access your site data via cPanel File Manager or FTP or equivalent tool depending on your hosting or system.

    Note: Create a backup of your site before doing the following.

    1. Check for plugin conflict.
      • Via cPanel File Manager or FTP, go to YourWebsite/wp-content/
      • Rename the folder “plugins” to anything like “plugins_bkp”
      • Try refreshing the site if that solves the issue.
      • If the error is gone, this means the issue is caused by the plugin. Otherwise, go to number 2. Check for theme conflict.
      • To figure out the conflicting plugin, create a new folder with the name “plugins”
      • Individually copy each folder content in “plugins_bkp” to the new “plugins” folder you created.
      • Keep refreshing the site after each plugin copied to check if that specific plugin is causing the issue.
      • Once you find the problematic plugin, delete that and access your WP Dashboard to install a fresh copy of that plugin.
    2. Check for theme conflict
      1. Via cPanel File Manager or FTP, go to YourWebsite/wp-content/themes/
      2. Delete the theme folder you are using for your site.
      3. Try refreshing the site if that solves the issue.
      4. If the error is gone, access your WP Dashboard to install a fresh copy of your theme.

    If after installing fresh copies of your plugin or theme and the issue is not solved, contact support for the item.

    I hope that helps.

    If the theme you’re using doesn’t come with Google Analytics integration, one of the most popular options out there is Google Analytics Dashboard Plugin for WordPress by MonsterInsights plugin here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-analytics-for-wordpress/

    You may also add the analytics on your WordPress website without using a plugin.

    Note: Before doing anything on your website, it is always a good idea to backup your site. You can use UpdarftPlus for that.

    Adding Google Analytics Manually  (No Plugin)

    • In your WordPress backend, go to Appearance » Editor.
    • Click the header.php file on the right side below the Templates section.
    • Look for the head html end tag </head> and right above that, paste the Google Analytics Script.
    • Click update.

    Hope that helps.
