How to start a new project

  • Hi, I do apologise if my question will be a bit awkward, but I just cannot get my head around it.
    OK, I did website in WP, used Xampp and developed the website on localhost. Then I moved it to the live server and since then I was login into WordPress not via localhost/login but via mysite.co.uk/login. Every time i was making changes in dashboard, after i press update, the changes would immediately appear on my website.
    Now I want to start new project and I thought that I should reinstall WordPress and XAMPP (anyway had to due to malfunctioning), so i did, created new database and user, but I still cannot get to wordpress via localhost/login and mywebsite/login still lets me to get to the dashboard for my old site.
    How do I change that so I can work on localhost on a fresh WP?

    When you use local hosting, your website should be located in
    C:\xampp\htdocs\yourwebsite
    However, if you want to create a new fresh website, create a new folder in
    C:\xampp\htdocs\yournewwebsite
    and extract the wordpress.zip file there.
    (Make sure the exctracted files are all in yournewwebsite folder, NOT AS yournewwebsite/wordpress.)
    After that, run through the installation by typing localhost/yournewwebsite in the address bar.
    Consider making a new database from XAMPP dashboard by typing localhost in the address bar.

    Good luck
