WordPress sites open on a branded local HTTPS host instead of bare 127.0.0.1, so Open wp-admin no longer hits HTTP on the TLS port.
Shipped 12 Aug 2026 · Full changelog · Download for Mac

Added

• Local HTTPS hostnames use {slug}.rig.localhost (still resolves without /etc/hosts)

Fixed

• Open wp-admin after install no longer opens http://127.0.0.1:{httpsPort} (ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE)
• HTTPS proxy forwards the public Host / X-Forwarded-Proto so WordPress keeps generating https://… URLs
• wp-config.php pins WP_HOME / WP_SITEURL for Rig-managed installs and trusts the local HTTPS proxy
