@andreamah
How is this going?

[Okamoto-ripples]

It worked! Thank you so much Andrea

[andreamah]

Can you see it once you open an html file?

[Okamoto-ripples]

No, can't see it still

[andreamah]

if you type Live Preview in the command palette, do you see anything?

[Okamoto-ripples]

That's strange. Do other extensions appear in the command palette? What happens if you reinstall the extension?

[Okamoto-ripples]

I don't have any other extensions.
I've tried rebooting, reinstalling of the app and extension.
But nothing happens..

This issue is happening to my friend as well.

[andreamah]

Which VS Code version are you running?

[Okamoto-ripples]

1.87.0 I guess?

Oh wait, I just noticed that you didn't have the > in this. Try typing > Live Preview.

You have two options:

1. open an html file in your editor- there should then be more options in the command palette and should be a 'preview button' like so: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-livepreview?tab=readme-ov-file#html-file-previewing. I think this is what you're looking for.
2. Open up a folder in VS Code with your project, then live preview should run as if you started a server in that folder.

You need a file that ends in .html. That file is an .ini file.
