How can I install Wordpress in the Firebase Hosting ? I tried to find an article to help me to install but I didn't find one.
WordPress requires PHP to run on the server and Firebase Hosting can't run server-side code (no PHP) but only static content (html, images, js, etc). So the answer is, you can't install WordPress in the Firebase Hosting.
You can't install the dynamic version of Wordpress. Instead, you can create a static version of Wordpress using a plugin called Simply Static. Check it here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/simply-static/
It will export your site to html so the server won't need to support PHP or any database. It's great to use in simple websites that don't need to be updated frequently.

I managed to install wordpress on google app engine. now when i login to admin and try to install the plugins required, it ask for ftp access.
Please help me to install the plugins in google app engine
App Engine is Fully managed, so the configuration is also limited. You can’t edit the App Engine filesystem as directories for wordpress are read only by default. Hence, you will not have much control on folder permissions. In order to install plugins you have to install and update plugins on your local instance as mentioned in this documentation.
What I can suggest is to host your wordpress site to Compute Engine or Deploy it to Wordpress to Marketplace.

Currently we have a WooCommerce webshop hosted on wordpress.com. This webshop was setup as a prototype and because of its succes we want to start developing the webshop further. We don't want to change the production website directly, but we want to develop inside a closed development environment (e.g. locally using docker).
I have tried to run the webshop locally by exporting all its data using the All-in-One WP Migration plugin. Afterwards I have created a docker environment with a wordpress and a mysql container. On the wordpress container I've also installed the All-in-One WP Migration plugin and I've imported all the data. It looked like this worked fine, but after a few clicks I saw that I could not navigate to any other URL besides the homepage. I have read online that the Wordpress codebase being used on wordpress.com differs from the default codebase which can be download on wordpress.org. So I think this means the wordpress.com export file can't be imported into a default wordpress container.
Because of this I've tried to download all the files on wordpress.com using FTP and run the website myself using a php container. This also didn't work, because I can't download all the files using FTP because of the permissions. I also contacted the support of wordpress.com, and they told me they couldn't sent me the contents of these files. But without these files, I don't know how I can run the wordpress.com website locally.
I hope someone can help me with getting the wordpress.com website to run locally in a development environment. A suggestion how we can implement a workflow where we can change the webshop in a development environment and deploy the changes to our production website is also very welcome.
Edit: For now I've chosen to run my site in a docker environment and write down all the changes I make locally. When I'm satisfied with the site locally, I will repeat the changes I made earlier on the production website. I've chosen this workflow because I don't really know the structures inside Wordpress. I don't know how I can migrate the files and database tables I need to switch theme, without overwriting the database tables I want to keep (e.g. WooCommerce orders table).
Have you tried running it on a localhost? MAMP is a good option for this.

Trying to figure the best way to develop on plesk.
I would like to develop my wordpress website on a temporary url, and attach the production domain only when I am done developing.
From some reason I'm getting various dns errors, saw a guide referring to change of hosts file but it dosent seem like the perfect solution to me.
Any tips?
You may create the clone of your WP instance (staging) and use Plesk Git extension for developing this staging WP site. After making all necessary changes on staging non-public clone you can publish it to a production domain to make it publicly available.
I followed this link to make my wordpress installation scalable on OpenShift http://gshipley-onpaas.rhcloud.com/scaling-wordpress-on-the-cloud. However, I think I have missed a step somewhere. My git repository does not contain any application wordpress file. I understood that that is the purpose. I only have plugins and themes on the application git. However when the second gear is started (due to scaling), only my files are deployed, not the wordpress installation itself. I must have done something wrong. But I don't understand why it doesn't deploy the wordpress files.
You can try using the wordpress developer quickstart (https://github.com/openshift-quickstart/openshift-wordpress-developer-quickstart) which included the base wordpress installation also, but you will still have to use an s3 plugin for your uploaded files.
I have created a wordpress website on the localhost and want to migrate it to the clients server. How can i shift the content, images (media) and the theme and its widgets.
Hope i dont have to recreate all that on the website all over again :D
BackupBuddy is probably the most efficient and easiest way. Here's the URL: BackupBuddy
Plenty of documentation and the plugin basically does everything for you.
Review the Wordpress Codex on this issue for details and various Tools that can help you.
Make sure that your theme and widgets are not referencing the old domain directly. If this is a theme/plugin/widget of your own making, you should be aware that Wordpress has Various Functions that reference the URL of your Wordpress installation.
You need to do a few things:
Install WP Migrate DB http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-migrate-db/ and use it to export the DB as a gzip file
Upload all the Wordpress files to the server modifying wp-config.php to match the client's MySql server. If WP is already installed, upload only what's in wp-content
Access the client's MySql server (normally through phpMyAdmin) and import the gzip file that contains your DB
To get the server path on the client's server (WP Migrate DB will ask for it) use this php snippet from the site's / :
<?php print_r(__DIR__) ?>
That should be it.
Cheers.
