I just spent like 5 hours failing over and over again... until i found this masterpiece ! You sir just made my day, thank you very much! Awesome and simple tutorial !
My entirie gratitud for people like you....Thanks a lot to enlight me in this topic.....I couldn't have done it without your great tutorial video....cheers mate!
The length of the video is reasonable, the step by step information are all here. I had a rough time trying to figure out the installation problem that I had before (I thought it was my anti-virus) until you mentioned the settings in the control panel and it all worked out fine. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I believe one step you may have forgotten to inform was to have the Apache, mySQL, FileZilla start running by clicking on the 'Start' button. Overall, it was a great tutorial and I wish you the best!
I was getting too annoyed due to setting the wordpress on XAMPP. Just following this tutorial I have been able to successfully install the wordpress. Thank you Britec09!!!
thank you very much! this video gives a much clearer, more straightforward, easy to understand instructions on how to build a wordpress website on a local computer. I've been reading the instructions on the wordpress site for half an hour and didn't understand a single thing, but this 10 minute video gave me everything I need to know. *press like*
Thanks Britec!!! This was an amazingly explained tutorial!! You just made our day!!! Now we can start to build our new wordpress, while the old one is still up and running, something we have been trying to do for ages, but never really wrap our heads around it!! Finally this was possible thanks to you! Regards from spain!
Thnku so much sir . I was struggling about this problem from alsmost 6/7days . Now i sloves my problens related with login and adjustments of keywords thnku thnku so so much
Absolutely awesome tutorial! I changed the language to English - NZ and it greeted me in NZ Maori. Love it. Appreciate the really great, simple tutorial :)
Hi Britec.Thank you for sharing. I followed your instructions and installed wordpress on my pc. The xampp win 32 1-8-3-5 vc11 almost froze, took a time be installed, but now is running perfectly on my win7 64bit... Thanks a lot from Sao Paulo, Brazil..
Great tutorial. My only critique is that you glossed over securing XAMPP. I think it's very important that beginners know they should change the password for MySQL and set up XAMPP directory protection so it's not accessible to everyone.
Great vid as I've used this before editing my current website so can make changes in a test system before moving it to live. Another good vid would be a guide on taking a live Wordpress site and importing it into a local xampp setup so you can do test updates. I mentioned this because I haven't done it in ages and forgotten how to do it :) all the vids I found were on old wordpress setups.
Great tutorial. I've been looking for a straightforward tutorial on how to use a free WordPress website template on my local PC, and edit it before sending it to a server (to save cost & time). Although this tute isn't specifically what I was after, it is a tremendous help. Thanks!
Great tutorial, helped enormously with my web design course project. I appreciate the style, content and pace of the information. Easy to follow and clearly explained. Thanks heaps!!!!!
Really found this helpful, followed it step my step or so I thought! I got the page not find, but when I reviewed the steps I hadn't changed what should go in the 'db_password' for the 'wp-config' file, in this case nothing, once I'd done that, hey presto - I was away. Great stuff thank you so much.
Awesome! I really got a lot out of it. I had been following some other PDF instructions and could not quite get it done... until I watched your video. Thanks!
Great tutorial! Thank you. I have two questions: (1) do I need to install WordPress every time I want to create different website on the same computer? (2) can I use one database for more than one website?
Excellent tutorial, thanks! Please could I ask for an updated video and one explaining how to run multiple wordpress sites. I've tried following some other videos for that but don't get it right. They don't explain as succinctly as you do.
Great tutorial! btw. He saved wp-config.php by mistake as wp-config.txt (happens to me very often as well) . Thats why wordpress asked DB, username and password again.
I've followed all the steps, but there is an error for me when typing localhost/wordpress that says "Error establishing a database connection". Anyone know the problem?
Highly appreciate and thankful for the awesome video. I have a macbook with me but want to host WP on my external harddrive. Please suggest should I use XAMPP for windows or for OS X to kickstart?
dude you are awesome..if we were playing a pirate game i will give you a million rubies and 23 sapphire stones and 1 diamond and my pirate ship. thank you bro! you are awesome !

Hi Britec.Thank you for sharing. I followed your instructions and installed wordpress on my pc. The xampp win 32 1-8-3-5 vc11 almost froze, took a time be installed, but now is running perfectly on my win7 64bit... Thanks a lot from Sao Paulo, Brazil..
👍 Thanks again Brian. Big help on installing Wordpress. I kept getting port conflicts when I installed the xampp Wordpress stack.
Awesome video. A follow up video would be nice showing how to load a existing site and database to Xampp. Thanks
Learning a trick or 2 from the old Britec are we lol.
Great tutorial. My only critique is that you glossed over securing XAMPP. I think it's very important that beginners know they should change the password for MySQL and set up XAMPP directory protection so it's not accessible to everyone.
Great WP installation instruction for dummies. If you follow the steps carefully, you will be all set in no time and no fail. Thanks, Britec09!

You rock!! I needed this to migrate from Wix to an already set up Wp theme on a different host without cuts! Many thanks!
