Are you looking to create a WordPress website offline? Maybe you don’t have an internet connection, or you want to save on data costs. Whatever the reason, this guide will show you how to do it.
First, you’ll need to download and install WordPress. You can find the latest version at wordpress.org/download.
Once WordPress is installed, you’ll need to create a file called wp-config.php. This file contains your website’s settings, and you can create it using a text editor like Notepad or TextEdit.
In the wp-config.php file, you’ll need to enter the following information:
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘database_name’);
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘database_user’);
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘database_password’);
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);
You can find more information about these settings at wordpress.org/support/article/configuring-wp-config-php.
Next, you’ll need to create a folder called “wp-content” inside your website’s main folder. This folder contains all of your website’s content, including your themes and plugins.
Finally, you’ll need to create a file called “htaccess.txt” and copy the following code into it:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
You can find more information about the .htaccess file at wordpress.org/support/article/htaccess-file-examples.
Now, you can create your WordPress website offline by copying these files to your website’s main folder.
To access your website, you’ll need to open your website’s main folder in a web browser. For example, if your website is located at “www.example.com”, you’ll need to open “www.example.com/wp-content/”.
If you want to publish your website online, you can copy the files to your website’s public folder. For more information, see wordpress.org/
