Mamp ok, downloaded wordpress, stuck

  • Was following a course online on how easy it is to install a local copy of wordpress and wamp for testing and learning wordpress locally, before going online. These instructions are for an earlier version of MAMP so I’m stuck.

    Have MAMP running (Apache Server and MySQL are green) and have downloaded WP, but not sure what to do now. The famous five minute install seems designed for more experienced users. There were some instruction to move the WP directory around but I’m at loggerheads on this now. SOS

    Is there a link to the really easy version of the install?

    Thanks in advance

    Forget MAMP/WAMP/XAMP. Download a free copy of Local by Flywheel for a truly just a couple of clicks install of WP.

    Trying the flywheel as you suggested. Is there a way to download the site I’m trying to work on from its online version into the flywheel local user site?

    When I use the Admin button and flywheel takes me to wordpress, is that a local copy of wordpress? I am not able to login to that using what I think is the online wordpress password.

    Thanks

    Ok, got that support link but another thing is between me and the deep blue sea.

    When I use the Admin button and flywheel takes me to wordpress, is that a local copy of wordpress? I am not able to login to that using the online wordpress password. Tested this password and did work

    Not sure if this is a wordpress or flywheel issue, but posted in flywheel also.

    thnks

    any clue how to figure out the user id or email? I am underwater on this and ready to abandon the hunt for uid or/and pw?

    Tried using all emails in my past and present, all are rejected.

    added another site and found out my uid for the local copy of wordpress. Now I know what I did wrong, the old password shell game came back to bite me.

    Thnks Steve
