Problem solved. I decided to read the readme.html doc in /wordpress. (What a concept!???♂?)

And it says:

1. Open wp-admin/install.php in your browser. It will take you through the process to set up a wp-config.php file with your database connection details.
   1. If for some reason this does not work, do not worry. It may not work on all web hosts. Open up wp-config-sample.php with a text editor like WordPad or similar and fill in your database connection details.
   2. Save the file as wp-config.php and upload it.
   3. Open wp-admin/install.php in your browser.

The solution was as Abdul suggested, except that it can’t run from the installer page as that requires the wp-config-sample.php?file. You need to go to wordpress/wp-admin/install.php (rather than localhost/wordpress) in the browser. Then it goes straight to setup page for site name, etc.

Thanks @ksthannan and @threadi for your time.

@threadi actually, I rebooted XAMPP and there are no red X’s under Service now. Under Module both Apache and MySQL are green and running.

Thanks @threadi.

The MySQL Module is running (Port 3307). However, the Service checkbox has a red X in it. Do I want that to be a green checkmark?

Also, I looked at my firewall settings and mysqld.exe is allowed through. (There are no XAMPP files listed in the firewall settings.)

Thanks @ksthannan .

I can access localhost/phpmyadmin and my project is simply localhost/wordpress at the moment as I can’t install WP.

However, as I noted above, there is no wp-config file to delete or edit because I don’t get past the setup.

I get to here: https://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/setup-config.php, then choose my language, then I get to setup-config.php?step=1 and enter my info. Then I get the error page.

The wp-config is still the wp-config-sample file. If I remove/rename it, I get an error during the installation that it is missing. ???♂?

Yes, I’m using. Thanks. I’ll keep my eyes out for the update.

Understood. And sorry for my harsh words! ?? It sounded phishy and I’ve been getting A LOT of that recently.

An anonymous account is fine. Anything that let’s me try it and see it action. I usually test plugins on tastewp anyway.

“Yes, it’s supported with the latest version of WordPress.”

Don’t you mean it’s NOT supported? ??

I’ll watch for the update. ?

Thanks. I hovered over the row but only got the “delete column option”.

Thanks for your quick reply. I disabled the other plugin and renamed the pages.
Cheers
