If you have troubles in local development with wp-env, use this plugin.
In your .wp-env.json , add this plugin’s download URL(NOTICE: review comment is not allowed to include URL, add https +:// just before the downloads.wordpress.org
{ “plugins”: [ “.”, “[schema here]downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/localhost2host-docker-internal.latest-stable.zip” ]}
WordPress’ self remote request(e.g. WP-Cron) starts working as expected! Arigato!
