I installed wordpress locally on my system but uninstalled it recently. Now I have xampp and my apache, mysql all running but when I type localhost in URL it's still the same old localhost:
"Awesome! WordPress is now installed.
Access WordPress"
How do I change it so Xampp is my localhost?
Try to restart your system and clear your browser cache and also remove your WP database if you want a fresh WP installation
1) go to the xampp directory and you'll find a folder named htdocs there. remove all files from that folder.
2) force restart the browser by pressing ctrl + f5

I want to install Wordpress on my pc so first, I need to install xampp.
After installation when I'm trying to start apache it is automatically shutting down. So I changed the localhost port number to 8080 then it started.
But now the problem is when I'm trying to run Wordpress it is not opening correctly.
Here is a screenshot of my error. Please help with installation of Wordpress with the xampp
I think you have to check first if any other html file is working fine or not on the root directory inside (www) folder. If its working fine then try with http://localhost/wpfive
see my example screenshot for this.
Best of luck
I have AWS lightsail, I installed Magento 2 using bitnami. i want to install WordPress too since the client would like to have a blog as well.
I installed WordPress (not bitnami image) but located in magento bitnami installation directory. Such that the url would be example.com/blog
There's a permission problem, whatever I could can't fix it, for example can't install plugins,
Installation failed: Could not create directory.
I tried chmod 755 -R wp-content/ and the plugins/ directory and I tried adding wordpress to apache group, and so many things. Nothing fixes it, I feel it's because it's located inside betnami's folder.
You know why is this happening?
Credit goes to bitnami forum, especially Jota, thank you!. I fixed the issue by using bitnami wordpress module alongside magento. Login to the server then do
wget https://bitnami.com/redirect/to/548719/bitnami-wordpress-5.2.1-0-module-linux-x64-installer.run
chmod 755 bitnami-wordpress-5.2.1-0-module-linux-x64-installer.run
sudo ./bitnami-wordpress-5.2.1-0-module-linux-x64-installer.run
The installer should ask you to specify bitnami installation folder: /opt/bitnami
the default username for mysql on bitnami is root and you can get the password by doing cat bitnami_credentials
That password is the default password for mysql and your wordpress account, that's why you should immediately change it. The wordpress installation would be located at example.com/wordpress, which is exactly what I need, not damaging magento installation, it will be fully working.
I installed a XAMPP application and used localhost to install the latest version of WordPress. Every time I try to upload the or update plugin or theme, it gives me an error
Couldn't create the directory.
I'm using Mac OS X, I've changed the permissions as well as I have added the define('FS_METHOD','direct'); command in the wp-config file. However, it is still not working for me.
What can I do in this case?
UPDATE
I have already tried following the steps in this article:
XAMPP permissions on Mac OS X?
Is it possible to download an Installatron tar.gz Wordpress backup onto a localhost WAMP server and get a copy of website running locally using this method?
You could use some backup plugin like duplicator to clone the site and install it anywhere.
I have wordpress site on my server which only uses sftp.
I want to install and upgrade plugins, but it appears that you are required to enter your ftp login to install the plugins. Is there a way to install and upgrade plugins by manually uploading the files instead of having wordpress handle the entire process?
Add
define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');
to your wp-config.php
And it will be fine
You can install a plugin by simply uploading to the plugins directory and unpacking it. '/wp-content/plugins'. Note that you will still have to enable the plugin normally in Wordpress admin.
