There has been a critical error on your website – using mamp

  • I have been watching videos and reading tutorials but I cannot seem to find a solution – I have started building my wordpress site using mamp to host it, and as I have been trying out different themes suddenly I get the message:

    ‘There has been a critical error on your website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.’

    But I cannot find the email (I checked on the mamp website, and nothing, and I didn’t have a wordpress account it seemed so I do not know where that email went) – I cannot access anything on the website or on wordpress editing panel anymore, I searched but it seems like it is not possible to access via FTP since it is through mamp, and I honestly am not that experienced with coding to know what to do in my mamp control panel where I have lots of PHP settings…. this is really proving difficult, help is much appreciated!!

  • Mamp is probably not configured to send email correctly.

    Are you able to find any error logs in the MAMP public_html directory? That would be the first thin you want to look for to see what is causing the critical error if not you will want to turn on logging. Here is an article that will guide you on how to do that: https://pagely.com/blog/wordpress-logs-track-errors-guide/

    Hope this gets you headed in the right direction.
