I’m new to using Frontity and was trying to develop my first website using it.

I know how to develop using React and I know how to fetch data from my WordPress backend.

Looking at the Frontity documentation, I read that you need to create the project with: npx frontity create my-app.

Then go to the frontity.setting.js configuration file and change state.source.url with my local WordPress environment.

Finally, you launch the project using the npx frontity dev command.

When I visit http://localhost:3000 (it opens automatically), I get this error on a white screen:

ModuleDependencyError: Can't import the named export '__SECRET_INTERNALS_DO_NOT_USE_OR_YOU_WILL_BE_FIRED' from non EcmaScript module (only default export is available)

I don’t know how to resolve this error.

I’ve tried everything:

• Try creating the project again

• Start without changing the URL in the config file (after a new creation)

• Go to WordPress settings and set Permalinks to “Post Name”

• Try changing state.source.url to state.source.api (as I read on the internet, but I don’t know if it’s reliable)

None of these tests seemed to lead to anything working.

Could anyone give me a hand resolving this strange error when i try to run my Frontity project?
