Hi there! Thanks for the comment. Yeah well if you want to have it online, you still need a hosting company 😎 but I’m glad I could help you out with this video. Stay tuned, more awesome tutorials coming up! Have a great day and take care 😀👍🏻

[@MinisterGold]

There were a few errors I had to figure out along the way, but the video was helpful. Thanks. Also... were you making a groot reference? It was funny how you said root when creating the website.

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi Kaizo! Thanks for your comment! Great that you have figured it out, I'm proud of you! Excellent job. So yeah that was a GROOT reference hahaha. Glad you notices 😁 Have a great day and stay safe! Good luck with your channel!

4:22 Restart DNS - I would just add that you have to right click the icon in your taskbar (right bottom corner), so you won't try to reach it via desktop or start menu, wasting your time like I did. Otherwise a great tutorial, Thank you!

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi there! Thanks for the comment, yeah that’s also a easier way! Thanks for pointing that out 😀👍🏻 Have a great day and take care!

[@mikeotoole5876]

Awesome video, very helpful. How would i go about creating multiple websites locally? would i need separate databases and separate wordpress installs for each?

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi there! Thanks for the kind words. Yeah that would be the best route I think (never tried it myself, I always build online 😃). Let me know how that works!

[@rubancharles8998]

Thank you Doc, this saved me a ton of time and is it possible to run two Wordpress instances using this method?

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi Ruban Charles! Thanks for the question! I'm glad you liked the video. Yeah thats absolutely no problem! Just put another folder inside there with new WordPress folders and just switch the virtual host. Then you should be good!

[@notabolished1331]

Yooooo!!!!!😳😳 What's the use of a local WordPress? Where do some of you really learn all this stuff?? Thanks for sharing these geeky stuff 💪

[@WPressDoctor]

Yooooo! It can be useful if you want to test out stuff, develop plugins… or you don’t have a budget to get hosting just yet… many reasons 😀👍🏻

[@RoseLeaves431]

Hi Matt, thanks for the excellent easy to understand videos :-) I have a question - when adding a new virtual host, at 4:17 on the video, why do we need that version of PHP, and not a more recent one?

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi Rose! Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it. So the PHP version should be a stable one, that is most of the times not the newest version. That's why its now (a few months later) save to PHP versions up to 8.2. But in a few weeks it will be another number, that's why actually 😃

[@RoseLeaves431]

@@WPressDoctor thanks for that explanation Matt :-) So then should we update it every now and again, or is it fine to leave it at the one we set?

[@WPressDoctor]

Your hosting company will update their PHP versions (if you have a good hosting company) and if you are offline locally - it really doesn’t matter for security 😀👍🏻

Hello again, Matt! I'll start using local hosting for the early development of my next projects and I'm stuck on whether to choose WAMP or LocalWP (formerly Local by Flywheel). Just found out about LocalWP and it seems the way to go due to all the ease and praticality, specially the deployment and bluprinting features. Would you have a reason to choose WAMP instead of LocalWP, other than the requirement LocalWP has of connecting an account with them?

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi There! No I don’t have any preference, I just chose this one as it worked great 😀👍🏻 You can also try the other one and see if it’s easier than this one I show in the tutorial…

[@phkoon]

​@@WPressDoctor Hello! I went straight to Local WP, The installation process was as easy as it could be and overall it worked great, but I didn't use it much untill now. So, I'll stick to it for now until the need for something else comes

[@WPressDoctor]

Thanks for telling me! Have a great day 😀👍🏻

Hi Matt I have a question I installed wamp server and started wamp online but when I go to localhost there is no add a virtual host button below I tried so many times but result is same

Can you create a guide on Cloud flare setup

I couldn't see the wordpress in local host in browser.

Hi Vuppala Madhuri! Thanks for the question. Than it seems that you have not placed the WordPress folder in the right installation folder of WAMP. Try to get it in the right folder and try again?

Ah ok great! How?

Sir when I click on phpmyadmin then they asked me for a username and password

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi there! Thanks for the comment. That is correct. Follow the tutorial as I show you exactly what to do then 😀👍🏻

[@Valitzu777]

login name is root and leave the password blank

[@theairoom]

Hey Matt! hope you're doing well 😊. I faced some issues during Installation and I don't know how to fix these issues. Issues 1: The Code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP140.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem. Issues 2: The Code execution cannot proceed because VCRUNTIME140.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem. Bro, how to fix these 2 issues if you have any idea please help me. I really need local wordpress nowadays.

[@WPressDoctor]

Hi there! Yeah I’m doing great, thanks for asking 😀. Just moved to Portugal with my family for 8 months, so yeah pretty amazing here! Well the first thing I would try is to uninstall WAMP completely from my system. Then try to install it again using admin privileges. Let me know if that does something?
