    WordPress Tip: Install WordPress Locally

    October 31st, 2009 | Posted in blog 1 Comment »

    You can install WordPress locally on your computer if you’re traveling or planning to be offline and you still want to work with WordPress.

    I also embedded this video in a WordPress wiki that I’m developing.

    Installing WordPress locally involves about 6 steps:

    1. Download and install Wampserver.
    2. Create a database in phpmyadmin.
    3. Add a user with privileges to the database.
    4. Download WordPress and extract to a folder in the www directory.
    5. Customize the wp-config-sample.php file.
    6. Run the WordPress install script at wp-admin/install.php.

      You explain the process with great clarity, for which I thank you.
      I’ve just started a WordPress testbed to try to improve my rubbish CSS skils.
