SUPPORT DISCLAIMER: As running a local development environment is in fact running a server, you - the user - are expected to have an understanding of how a server is configured and operated and that iThemes / PluginBuddy cannot be expected to diagnose and fix server issues in the same way that we would not diagnose and fix commercial host server issues - these development environment have their own support offerings and they should be used.
