Typically, if you’re sending any volume of email or sending emails to visitors you’ll want to use a third-party.

Git Diff Ignore Mode Changes

Local by Flywheel – Import Failed – TypeError: Cannot read property devMode on null
Recently, I tried to import a site into Local by Flywheel and it failed with the message, “TypeError: Cannot read property ‘devMode’ on null”. It turns out the site export was created with “Local Lightning” while I’m using the classic Local by Flywheel.
