Some tips for a newbbie

  • Hi everyone.
    I have no previous experience neither with WordPress or PHP, but I’m sure I want to install my WordPress blog. ??
    I would like to set up the blog offline at first so I can translate it to my language (spanish) and also to play with the themes, well, customize it offline I would say.
    I will use Xampp to set up a localhost and do it.

    I’m not sure what should be the procedure to upload my offline working to my server/domain.
    Should I install wordpress also on the server and then replace every file with the one I have in my local host ?

    Thanks

  • The best way to do it is to use Xampp and get everything exactly as you need it all to be. When you want to move it to a server, you need to restore it – you do not install WP, just restore it (even though it wasn’t there before)

    Database
    Doing this means you need to change the siteurl and home values in the database once it is imported to the online site. You will need phpmyadmin to do this, OR you can set that in xampp just before you do the restore.

    Files
    Just upload. Unless you have any references to image that you have used the full url for (https://localhost/..) etc then that is all you need.

    There are a couple of guides that you might want to look over ?
