Install WordPress for Free Without Hosting with Local By Flywheel (the Easiest Localhost!)

[@007babyseal]

This video just changed my life. Like for reals. I stumbled upon being a website designer by accident when I got my own travel blog up and running, and needed to learn how to create a website BEFORE taking down the old one. BOOM! I can't thank you enough

[@LytboxStudio]

I’m so happy to hear this! Thanks 🙏

[@martinmartinio4460]

oh my god. Love you so much I'm a silent observer of your videos, but I have to say that you always give me the most practical and best tools. Thank you very much

[@pezreloaded8436]

Another greta helpful video. I'm planning on using Local by Flywheel as I'm getting more website redesign projects so this will come in handy as not to interrupt the current live site.

[@triingtimes5267]

Thank you, great tutorial! Just what I was looking for.

[@loreauvillephil]

Just thought of something - you mentioned installing Elementor. I have the Pro version of Elementor but only a 3-site license. Will installing Elementor on a local site count as one of my sites?

[@kriskata7653]

Hey, Jeffrey! I am new to Wordpress and I would like to ask some questions. 1) In order to practice wordpress and elementor for free without the need of hosting and domain is this the only way possible using Local? 2) If I make a website in Local and I decide to publish it will I be able to do it and how? I guess I'll need to export the files from Local and somehow place them in the wordpress website?

[@hocuspocus6211]

Very Useful tool, thanks for the video

[@LytboxStudio]

So good to hear, cheers!

[@fifty5712]

Thank you! Where is the next video you mentioned at the end?

Thank you for the tutorial. Please I tried opening the site and also clicking on the wp admin, but it keeps telling me “This site can’t be reached”. Do you know what might be the problem

at 2:50 do I need to make a WordPress account and use that for WordPress email?

[@LytboxStudio]

No need for a WordPress account. This is only for your email to use on the site. You can use any email you like.

[@davidedit4313]

I am a beginner in using wordpress. What about the domain

[@DanielBanda-i2r]

so when i hit the wpadmin box, it opens wp on browser but I try loggin in and no luck. I've reset my password and still nothing. Now I am able to log in using the wp app on my phone and computer but now through the link it opens up using localwp

[@dan-k79]

Dope content dude, Can we build out custom domain url structures and perform onpage seo on local before going live?

[@LytboxStudio]

Thanks man! You can do most of the onsite and on page optimizations on your local and map out your url structure. But when you migrate back to the live site id go over the url structure 2-3x making sure the urls updated from the local url to the domain. Flush permalinks usually takes care of this but still, I’d triple check and then ping Google for indexing.

can one run school management system on this local host?

[@LytboxStudio]

Good question. Local Host is only for building the site, not for running a website. It's best to do that on a live host.

[@deborahonitilo1539]

Hello, do I have to create a Wordpress mail first off before setting up the local?

[@LytboxStudio]

Nope, just install Local By Flywheel and add a WordPress site and you are good to go:)

[@VanillaaDelight]

Where do you go to create the login/password that it ask for when creating the new site?

[@LytboxStudio]

Turn on the one-click-admin and you'll have access to your back end and can change your password then. You'll also set up you password and email when adding a new site. And there's an option to open WP Admin

Is there a way to create a blueprint containing an already installed Oxygen Builder?

[@LytboxStudio]

Yep, you can add blueprints to Local By Flywheel

[@robertbamm7226]

I was just about to ask about the migration when you mentioned that you’ll cover it in the next video. I’m guessing it’s not the same as migrating a live host site to another live host with some plugin 😅

[@LytboxStudio]

Haha it actually is lol. I use All In One Migrate for all of it, live to live and local to live. It’s been a reliable solution I’ve used for years now.

[@robertbamm7226]

@@LytboxStudio oh, I use that plugin all the time too. So you just export the local installation to a file, and import it to the live host as usual?

[@LytboxStudio]

@@robertbamm7226 that’s it. Keep it simple and straight forward. Only thing is we need to make sure the emails in Elementor are updated (in the forms and where there’s mailto:[e-mail])

[@HarryMorten]

Good so far but how do I load my Elementor Pro?

[@LytboxStudio]

Elementor doesn’t count your license for local sites. When you connect your Pro license, it automatically detects the .local As long as you have 1 pro license, you can add to as many Local sites as you like

[@MuhammadSohail-p4k]

thank you sir

[@LytboxStudio]

[@AntGeezer]

Are any other local installs required to use Local or is it all in one package these days? Good overview 👍

[@LytboxStudio]

All in one package! Much easier than back in the days.

[@Coloringbuch]

Maybe someone can help me why when I have downloaded and click on wp admin and open site I get the error message 404 page not found nginx/1.16.0 can someone kindly help me please

[@LytboxStudio]

This could be caused by your admin login url changing. Try using the 1 click login access in Local

how much gb is your hosting package when you using this?

[@damilolaelijah5629]

I was directed to 404 error page as i try to go to my dashboard, pls help

[@LytboxStudio]

Is this on your live site or the local host? Thai happens when the /wp-admin is changed for security purposes. If on Local By Flywheel, select on one click admin access.

[@damilolaelijah5629]

Okay thanks @@LytboxStudio

[@momayez0_018]

hi thanks for useful info i have a question: how do i fix "could not update the host files" i even ran the app as administrator.

I’ve never faced this error. Is this coming from inside WordPress or in Local by Flywheel?

[@h051n]

localwp is super slow, any other options?

[@LytboxStudio]

Try the new WordPress Studio

[@League_Of_Clips1]

Can you use elementor to?

[@LytboxStudio]

Yes, you can use anything Wordpress. Also, if you are using Elementor Pro, using the local will count against the number of site license. Elementor detects the .local url and knows it’s a testing environment

If the local downloaded on windows is deleted, the wordpress site will not work?

[@LytboxStudio]

If you delete the local app then all the websites will be deleted. Make sure to use something like All in One Migration to export a copy of the website that can be uploaded on a hosted site.

[@mouad3599]

thank you a lot , just perfect

[@beecreations8759]

Hii i installed it, but when i tried to open the site, it shows in the browser that this site cant be reached. Please let me know what i can do.

[@LytboxStudio]

What browser and device are you using? Maybe there are permissions you need to set. Or maybe security software. Also try changing your default browser. I think Chrome will work best. I’ve seen issues with Edge. Also look at your browser extensions that could block
