Q: Detailed Description of the Problem
A: We don’t seem to have any issues pulling classic install sites from Kinsta but when we try and pull a site built in bedrock it fails. Different members of our team get different errors but the site won’t download when built in bedrock. It seems to break at different points for different people.

Hi @Josh_Pyzer, thanks for reaching out!
Yes, that’s an issue/limitation with DevKinsta right now. There are other errors going on with what you shared but the final issue will occur when DevKinsta tries to run a search and replace using wp-config.php. This fails with Bedrock installs. So right now the Pull/Push only fully supports normal WP installs.

Although the automated sync fails, you may be able to come up with workarounds like using GIT or just creating a normal WP site in DevKinsta and using a migration plugin like Duplicator to move your site over.

If you create a site within DevKinsta, you’ll actually be able to sync just files from MK (although this will fail because of those symlink referent errors you are seeing, which is more about how rsync works).

I have pointed out the prevalence of Bedrock to our developers though and better processes are being developed. The end goal is to make the Sync/Pull work with any site setup.

Thanks Kevin. I thought that would be the case. Will keep an eye out for any updates on this.

Hello Kevin, @Kevin I am wondering whether we have any update on the DevKinsta compatibility with Bedrock sites since the thread is opened?

My team is also experiencing this and would love to see this supported, or get some context around what exactly is the problem and whether there are any workarounds.

Hi @Brian_Battenfeld :wave: and welcome to Kinsta Community!

At the moment DevKinsta still does not have build-in support for Bedrock sites, and so far we haven’t got any updates about this from our internal devs team (when and if this will be added in the future release/version of DevKinsta).
What I will do now is to just inform/update them again about this case (as a feature request).

Regards,
Agus
