I have installed XAMPP on my mac and recently downloaded and installed Bitnami-Wordpress. It all works fine but I just cant find the Wordpress folder. I can open wordpress in my browser with http://localhost/wordpress. So I thought there must be a wordpress folder in htdocs. But I just cant find it in htdocs or any subfolders. I want to access the themes folder. Maybe I am searching in the wrong place? I am really lost here. Any help will be appreciated!
I had this problem before.
WordPress is considered an app so it is usually in C:\xampp\apps\wordpress\htdocs
It can vary but that should be a good lead.
And yes, I don't know why finding it is not more trivial either. I found it challenging also.
Old thread but I was looking for the location.
On macOS Wordpress install is located in:
XAMPP.app/xamppfiles/apps/wordpress

I was hosting two of my personal sites/blogs with HostGator for over 10 months. I didn't update my sites that often as I don't get enough time to write content for my sites .So, I decided to host my site through raspberry-pi or pc.
I downloaded full backup and home directory backup. Also, I installed WordPress locally. Now, I want to use my local WordPress setup to launch my sites by using files that I downloaded from HostGator cPanel but I dont know how to do that. Initially I spent sometime to get the solution from google as well as YouTube but directions were not clear. I tried to do it by myself but I was not successful.
Is there solution to this issue? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
I would recommend to use a plugin for this.
Try "Duplicator" for example. It creates a backup for you and an installer file.
After downloading these files, you place them in your root directory and navigate to "localhost/installer.php" and everything gets set up as you had.
I have installed WordPress using Bitnami locally, I've developed a website through that.
Now I want to develop second WordPress website (locally). So, do I need to install second Bitnami WordPress or what should I do now ?
All I want is to develop new WordPress website.
I'm searching for this for about 2 days, but I am not finding relevant information, may be the words are not correct for what I want to do, please help me
I know the method of installing XAMPP and extracting wordpress files in htdocs, but since there is some problem in that , that is why I want to go with Bitnami installation.
Here is my Bitnami Folder.
Bitnami Folder contain another folder, which then contain the following stuff.
When I type localhost/wordpress then it loads my site locally, although I don't have any wordpress folder that is inside Bitnami.
Thank you every respected out there.
Hi there are 2 different ways of having more than one site locally, below is the easier way, it only takes 2-3 mins to set up. The other one, is to build up a second website under the same wordpress folder as your first website. I used both before, but now I recommend the first one, it saves time and runs faster.
Do you have the /htdocs file folder locally? like this?
And you have a wordpress.zip file some where right?
Now you can directly unzip this wordpress.zip file into htdocs folder,like this,
After you rename the wordpress folder, to whatever it needs to be,
visit: localhost/thisRenamedFolder from your browswer as you did with the other site and complete the installation
Is this the answer you are looking for?
I can't figure out why my wp site is stuck in maintenance mode. I made no update and there's no .maintenance file. I can't even access to admin.
Has anyone encountered similar issue?
Try renaming the plugins/ folder to _plugins/ and see if you can access your website, if you can, rename the plugins folder to plugins/. Try disabling every plugin and re-enabling the plugin until your site breaks again to find the culprit.
If you can't access your website after renaming the plugins folder, disable your theme (by renaming the folder).
These are the common troubleshooting steps, if you provide more details, I will be able to help you more :/
Finally got it, it was a domain redirection error. The url pointed to a folder with a default index.html.
If anyone is still having this problem in 2017, I fixed it by going to my /wp-content/endurance-page-cache and deleting two files called _index.html and a_index.html (to be safe, I would download these first so that if this ISN'T the issue you can still recover them). This is what my domain was redirecting to.
Before I figured it out, I deactivated the WP Maintenance Mode plugin, looked through the directory for a .maintenance file (which I didn't find even after showing hidden files), and completely deleted the plugin. So hopefully if anyone is having this issue, this will work for you!
This is not really question, more an answer...
I recently updated Joomla to version: 3.4.8 and after that the Global configuration page was missing the CSS-styling.
I quickly tried solving it and came across alot of similar cases from searching Google... Some had "answers", but not and easy fix..So if anyone else is stuck with this problem, here is the solution :)
Run your FTP and locate the folder name "libraries" in your Joomla install on your server.
Then take a backup of this "Just in case".
Delete this folder and replace it width the same folder from a fresh Joomla install.
Some of the files in that folder was causing the issue, and if don't bother finder the specific file, then just do the above and the problem is solve.
Hope this helps someone :D

So basically you were hacked. Simply replacing the libraries and includes folder is enough to get your site online again, however it is not the solution. You need a complete security audit and review conducted.
Many hacks for Joomla install dodgy session or cache handlers - as a hook for them - and this can and will create an issue when loading the Configuration page.
Also if you are on a mac and you upload dot underscore ._ files to some parts of the libraries folder you can again kill the configuration page as Joomla is stupid and includes all the files in the folder irrespective of filename (actually a security issue in itself, but been that way for ages)
The back story: I transferred all the data from wordpress.com site to a self hosted site. That messed with a lot of the images in the posts etc. (not displaying) so naturally I just started messing with things (I don't really know what I'm doing). After changing a bunch of file permissions (with FileZilla) the images started to work but now all my plugins stopped working. I deleted them and tried to reinstall and I get this error:
Unpacking the package…
Installing the plugin…
Could not create directory. /homepages/35/d579288618/htdocs/kevin-heinrich.com/kevin-heinrich/wp-content/plugins/jetpack/
Plugin install failed.
I don't really know where the "/homepages/35/d579288618/htdocs/..." part of the error is coming from...
I have tried changing ALL my file permissions to 777, no luck.
I tried manually downloading a plugin and putting it into the plugins folder via FTP, no luck. (The folder is in there but nothing appears on my dashboard).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm afraid to keep messing around on my own because well, I break things.
Wow what a simple problem. After literally a month of banging my head against the wall...
My problem was that my plugins folder was in my uploads folder NOT my wp-content directory. I moved and boom solved.
Hopefully any other idiot who tinkers where he/she shouldn't might find this helpful :)
Just had this issue. Check that user and group in /etc/php/php-fpm.d/www.conf are set to www-data. By default it's http.
