Installing WordPress locally using Xampp on Windows operating system Add the WordPress files If you’ve ever manually installed WordPress, the rest of the process should feel pretty familiar. 

First, you need to go to wordpress.org and download the latest version of WordPress. Then, in Windows, navigate to the folder where you installed XAMPP. For me, that’s C://xampp. 

It should be something similar for you. Then, in that folder, find the htdocs subfolder: In htdocs, create a new folder for your test site. 

This folder name will become the sub-name used to access your site. For example, if you make the folder testsite, you’ll access your site by going to http://localhost/testsite​​. Once you create the folder, extract the WordPress .zip file you downloaded from wordpress.org into it: 

Step 4: Create a database for WordPress Next, you need to create a MySQL database for your WordPress install. To do that, launch PHPMyAdmin from your XAMPP control panel: 

Then click on Databases at the top: And enter a name for your database and click Create. Your name can be anything – just remember it because you’ll need it for the next step: Unlike installing WordPress on a live web server, when you install XAMPP and WordPress, you don’t need to worry about creating a database user. 

Step 5: Install WordPress locally via the on-screen installer When you visit your test site, you should see the normal WordPress installer. Remember, your test site is just http://localhost/FOLDERNAME:​​ The only step where this process will differ from a normal install is the database details. When you get to the database details, enter them like this: Database Name = Name of the database you created in PHPMyAdmin Username = “root” Password = leave blank Then finish the rest of the WordPress install process like normal.
