When MAMP is properly set up and running, it’s easy not realize if the website in the browser is running locally or remotely. Installing the Local Development” plugin makes it easy to see via the green highlight in the admin bar along with the word local” in it. Simple, visual and effective. Thanks! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/da792acdeb2527434eaa1bac195bc142d3b5e885a7488388f14429d633dfc17d? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[A Life Saver…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-life-saver-58/)󠁿 [wpadvocate](https://profiles.wordpress.org/wpadvocate/) Июль 21, 2020 This can prevent a potential disaster if you work locally.
