This video just changed my life. Like for reals. I stumbled upon being a website designer by accident when I got my own travel blog up and running, and needed to learn how to create a website BEFORE taking down the old one. BOOM! I can't thank you enough
oh my god. Love you so much I'm a silent observer of your videos, but I have to say that you always give me the most practical and best tools. Thank you very much
best guide i ve seen i had so much trouble with doing it and you halped even tho this video has 40 k views you did it better than a guy with 9 milions thank you
Another greta helpful video. I'm planning on using Local by Flywheel as I'm getting more website redesign projects so this will come in handy as not to interrupt the current live site.
Just thought of something - you mentioned installing Elementor. I have the Pro version of Elementor but only a 3-site license. Will installing Elementor on a local site count as one of my sites?
Hey, Jeffrey! I am new to Wordpress and I would like to ask some questions. 1) In order to practice wordpress and elementor for free without the need of hosting and domain is this the only way possible using Local? 2) If I make a website in Local and I decide to publish it will I be able to do it and how? I guess I'll need to export the files from Local and somehow place them in the wordpress website?
Thank you for the tutorial. Please I tried opening the site and also clicking on the wp admin, but it keeps telling me “This site can’t be reached”. Do you know what might be the problem
Thanks man! You can do most of the onsite and on page optimizations on your local and map out your url structure. But when you migrate back to the live site id go over the url structure 2-3x making sure the urls updated from the local url to the domain. Flush permalinks usually takes care of this but still, I’d triple check and then ping Google for indexing.
so when i hit the wpadmin box, it opens wp on browser but I try loggin in and no luck. I've reset my password and still nothing. Now I am able to log in using the wp app on my phone and computer but now through the link it opens up using localwp
Aw thanks! I use a Sony a6400 with a Shure podcast mic. I’m traveling right now and using an Elgato key light while traveling. Back in my studio I use regular soft box lights.
I was just about to ask about the migration when you mentioned that you’ll cover it in the next video. I’m guessing it’s not the same as migrating a live host site to another live host with some plugin 😅
Haha it actually is lol. I use All In One Migrate for all of it, live to live and local to live. It’s been a reliable solution I’ve used for years now.
@@robertbamm7226 that’s it. Keep it simple and straight forward. Only thing is we need to make sure the emails in Elementor are updated (in the forms and where there’s mailto:email@email.com)
Elementor doesn’t count your license for local sites. When you connect your Pro license, it automatically detects the .local As long as you have 1 pro license, you can add to as many Local sites as you like
Turn on the one-click-admin and you'll have access to your back end and can change your password then. You'll also set up you password and email when adding a new site. And there's an option to open WP Admin
lol i came here cause it wasnt so straight forward :). Apparently mine is not working properly! It is straight forward….looks like i might have to reinstall. thank you.
What's wrong with you? Seriously? So this guy makes a killer vid - and you spam bomb for InstaWP? I rarely comment - because of crap like this. The only comments that should ever be made on a tutorial is thank you - and wow - thanks for taking the time to make this!
@@LytboxStudio "A MUST" Really looking forward to that, as it would be beneficial for us NOOBS to get started as you said. Finding your tuts super useful. If time permits, perhaps you could build a site from scratch through this process and then host your site with Hostinger. Just a thought. Thx a million for all you do...Best.
@@jaronjackson6913 I agree. I remember my first time trying to migrate sites and it took days to figure out. Now, only minutes. I'll make sure to have something soon!
Maybe someone can help me why when I have downloaded and click on wp admin and open site I get the error message 404 page not found nginx/1.16.0 can someone kindly help me please
Is this on your live site or the local host? Thai happens when the /wp-admin is changed for security purposes. If on Local By Flywheel, select on one click admin access.
Yes, you can use anything Wordpress. Also, if you are using Elementor Pro, using the local will count against the number of site license. Elementor detects the .local url and knows it’s a testing environment
If you delete the local app then all the websites will be deleted. Make sure to use something like All in One Migration to export a copy of the website that can be uploaded on a hosted site.
What browser and device are you using? Maybe there are permissions you need to set. Or maybe security software. Also try changing your default browser. I think Chrome will work best. I’ve seen issues with Edge. Also look at your browser extensions that could block
Using this local host tool it gives you a domian. No need for one. This is about as easy as it gets to setting up a wordpress site without hosting and a domain

Sir, great help. Please post video how to migrate from Local hosting to web hosting.
This is awesome. Thank you!
You are my superhero... I love you sir
Exactly what I use.
Good one!
Thank you so much for this tutorial,Is it possible to link my domain.Please let me know.Great job
Dope content dude,
Can we build out custom domain url structures and perform onpage seo on local before going live?
Thanks man!
You can do most of the onsite and on page optimizations on your local and map out your url structure. But when you migrate back to the live site id go over the url structure 2-3x making sure the urls updated from the local url to the domain. Flush permalinks usually takes care of this but still, I’d triple check and then ping Google for indexing.
Great video👍
But how do you show your design to your client when it is not live?
so when i hit the wpadmin box, it opens wp on browser but I try loggin in and no luck. I've reset my password and still nothing. Now I am able to log in using the wp app on my phone and computer but now through the link it opens up using localwp
thank you sir
🙏
at 2:50 do I need to make a WordPress account and use that for WordPress email?
No need for a WordPress account. This is only for your email to use on the site. You can use any email you like.
I am a beginner in using wordpress.
What about the domain
Hey Jeffrey, what camera/microphone/light do you use for your videos?
Great video btw!
Aw thanks! I use a Sony a6400 with a Shure podcast mic. I’m traveling right now and using an Elgato key light while traveling. Back in my studio I use regular soft box lights.
@@LytboxStudio Cool! thanks for the reply man! cheers
How do fix all the error issues? Anytime i try to install WordPress on my PC, when it get to installing WordPress, it just shows up some error.
same
Can i live my website using this method
Thank you so much ❤
Thanks! 🙏

Haha it actually is lol. I use All In One Migrate for all of it, live to live and local to live. It’s been a reliable solution I’ve used for years now.
@@LytboxStudio oh, I use that plugin all the time too. So you just export the local installation to a file, and import it to the live host as usual?
@@robertbamm7226 that’s it. Keep it simple and straight forward. Only thing is we need to make sure the emails in Elementor are updated (in the forms and where there’s mailto:email@email.com)
Hello, do I have to create a Wordpress mail first off before setting up the local?
Nope, just install Local By Flywheel and add a WordPress site and you are good to go:)
@@LytboxStudio thank you
I got firewall pop ups when trying to install. Trustworthy to allow?
thank you, bro!
can one run school management system on this local host?
Good question. Local Host is only for building the site, not for running a website. It's best to do that on a live host.
thank you a lot , just perfect
YOU ARE THE GOAT!!!!!!!!!
Do you have a a tutorial for creating a wordpress website locally then migrating it to the live?
Thank you
Great video!
Now if I could only get trusted crt to display https on win 11 desktop -- growl. There are always hiccups.
Thank you
Excellent!
Thanks! 🙏
Mine didn't work
It is Stu asking for hosting
thank you so much for helping me!!!!!!!!"!
You got it!
Good so far but how do I load my Elementor Pro?
Elementor doesn’t count your license for local sites. When you connect your Pro license, it automatically detects the .local
As long as you have 1 pro license, you can add to as many Local sites as you like
Are any other local installs required to use Local or is it all in one package these days?
Good overview 👍
All in one package! Much easier than back in the days.
@@LytboxStudio Wow I didn't know that! Local here I come!
Where do you go to create the login/password that it ask for when creating the new site?
Turn on the one-click-admin and you'll have access to your back end and can change your password then. You'll also set up you password and email when adding a new site. And there's an option to open WP Admin
lol i came here cause it wasnt so straight forward :). Apparently mine is not working properly! It is straight forward….looks like i might have to reinstall. thank you.
Is there a way to create a blueprint containing an already installed Oxygen Builder?
Yep, you can add blueprints to Local By Flywheel
@@LytboxStudio Thanks for the reply, if you happen to have a link about the process, could you please share with me? :)
Nice video thanks
Perfect
I thank you for instructions, Sir. U explained it so clearly. But I will suggest that it is better explained in Insta WP easy and more than better!!!
What's wrong with you? Seriously? So this guy makes a killer vid - and you spam bomb for InstaWP? I rarely comment - because of crap like this. The only comments that should ever be made on a tutorial is thank you - and wow - thanks for taking the time to make this!
Did you ever do the Local-to-Live Migration video? Thx and God bless...👍+ Sub'd.
Not yet but I do plan to show my process in a video very soon

@LytboxStudio Nice video. Please do a video showing how to create a website from local host and then migrate to live.
Maybe someone can help me why when I have downloaded and click on wp admin and open site I get the error message 404 page not found nginx/1.16.0 can someone kindly help me please
This could be caused by your admin login url changing. Try using the 1 click login access in Local
@@LytboxStudio thanks for rep[ly it did not work i have given up i will just get hosting it is too stressful.
how much gb is your hosting package when you using this?
Amazing
I was directed to 404 error page as i try to go to my dashboard, pls help
Is this on your live site or the local host?
Thai happens when the /wp-admin is changed for security purposes.
If on Local By Flywheel, select on one click admin access.
Okay thanks
@@LytboxStudio
Can you use elementor to?
Yes, you can use anything Wordpress. Also, if you are using Elementor Pro, using the local will count against the number of site license. Elementor detects the .local url and knows it’s a testing environment
localwp is super slow, any other options?
Try the new WordPress Studio
hi
thanks for useful info
i have a question: how do i fix "could not update the host files"
i even ran the app as administrator.
I’ve never faced this error. Is this coming from inside WordPress or in Local by Flywheel?
If the local downloaded on windows is deleted, the wordpress site will not work?
If you delete the local app then all the websites will be deleted. Make sure to use something like All in One Migration to export a copy of the website that can be uploaded on a hosted site.
Hii i installed it, but when i tried to open the site, it shows in the browser that this site cant be reached. Please let me know what i can do.
What browser and device are you using? Maybe there are permissions you need to set. Or maybe security software. Also try changing your default browser. I think Chrome will work best. I’ve seen issues with Edge. Also look at your browser extensions that could block
@@LytboxStudio thank you for the response. I am using chrome, i simply restarted my pc, then it worked.
BRACK
god man this is so frustrating, i just want to create wordpress sites without hosting them! I cant get login info without a domain...........
Using this local host tool it gives you a domian. No need for one. This is about as easy as it gets to setting up a wordpress site without hosting and a domain
@@LytboxStudio I figured it out, I just needed to put imaginary login data
It's not working, admin issues.
not working
I used it today and it's working as it always is. If you add some context we can help you find out why it's not working on your end.
Local 7.0.1 DON'T UPDATE YOUR LOCAL TO THIS VERSION! YOU CANNOT LOGIN AS ADMIN 😛
What do you mean?
I think i downloaded the latest one.
I can't login. It tells me the password is wrong.
What is my username and password???😮
You set those up when creating your site. Choose 1-click admin and you can access without logging in and reset your password
I prefer Laragon... ugly, but twice faster
That’s a good one for experienced devs
Absolute usless information for beginners
thank you bro
thank you
