Il team di WPBeginner crea normalmente siti WordPress locali sui propri computer per testare temi, plugin e funzionalità del sito web senza impattare su un sito live.
XAMPP è un pacchetto software libero e gratuito che fornisce una piattaforma di facile utilizzo per l’impostazione di un’istanza locale di WordPress.
In questo articolo vi mostreremo come creare facilmente un sito WordPress locale utilizzando XAMPP, in modo da poter sperimentare WordPress e affinare le vostre capacità di sviluppo in un ambiente sicuro.
Perché creare un sito WordPress locale?
La creazione di siti WordPress locali è una pratica comune tra gli sviluppatori e i proprietari di siti. Permette di testare WordPress senza creare un vero e proprio sito web su Internet.
I siti web locali sono visibili solo sul vostro computer. Potete provare diversi temi e plugin di WordPress, testarne le funzionalità e imparare le basi di WordPress.
Se avete già un sito web WordPress, potete creare una copia locale del vostro sito web sul computer per provare i nuovi aggiornamenti dei plugin prima di implementarli sul vostro sito web reale.
Importante: un sito web locale sarà visibile solo sul vostro computer. Se si desidera creare un sito web live, è necessario disporre di un nome di dominio e di un hosting WordPress.
Seguite le istruzioni passo-passo della nostra guida su come avviare un blog WordPress quando siete pronti a creare un sito web dal vivo.
Detto questo, vediamo come installare WordPress in locale su Windows, Mac o Linux utilizzando XAMPP.
Che cos’è XAMPP?
XAMPP è un pacchetto software che include tutto ciò che serve per configurare un ambiente server locale sul proprio computer.
Per creare un sito WordPress locale, è necessario configurare un server web (Apache), PHP e MySQL sul proprio computer.
PHP è un linguaggio di programmazione e MySQL è un software di gestione di database. Entrambi sono necessari per far funzionare WordPress.
Installarli separatamente è piuttosto difficile per i principianti. È qui che entra in gioco XAMPP.
XAMPP semplifica la creazione di siti web WordPress in locale. È disponibile per computer basati su Windows, Mac e Linux.
Iniziamo installando XAMPP e configurandolo per gestire il vostro sito WordPress locale.
Installazione di XAMPP sul computer
Per prima cosa, è necessario visitare il sito web di XAMPP e fare clic sul pulsante “Download” per il proprio sistema operativo.
A seconda del sistema operativo, l’installazione guidata e l’interfaccia dell’applicazione potrebbero differire dalle schermate qui riportate. Per il bene di questo articolo, vi mostreremo la versione Windows del software.
Dopo aver scaricato XAMPP, è necessario fare clic ed eseguire il programma di installazione.
XAMPP chiederà dove installare il software e quali pacchetti si desidera installare. Le impostazioni predefinite andranno bene per la maggior parte degli utenti. Continuate a fare clic sul pulsante “Avanti” per terminare l’installazione guidata.
Al termine della procedura guidata, selezionare l’opzione “Avvia il pannello di controllo ora” e quindi fare clic sul pulsante “Fine”.
In questo modo si avvia l’applicazione Pannello di controllo XAMPP.
Utilizzando l’applicazione XAMPP, è possibile eseguire il server web Apache come server locale e MySQL come server di database. Cliccate sul pulsante “Avvia” accanto ad Apache e MySQL.
XAMPP avvierà ora Apache e MySQL.
È possibile che venga visualizzata una notifica del firewall di Windows. È importante fare clic sul pulsante “Consenti accesso” affinché entrambe le applicazioni possano essere eseguite sul computer.
Una volta avviate entrambe le applicazioni, i loro nomi saranno evidenziati in verde.
Ora siete pronti a creare un sito web locale e a installare WordPress utilizzando XAMPP.
Creare un sito WordPress locale con XAMPP
Per prima cosa, è necessario scaricare WordPress. Visitate il sito WordPress.org e fate clic sul pulsante “Scarica WordPress”.
Dopo aver scaricato WordPress, è necessario estrarre il file zip e si vedrà una cartella wordpress.
È necessario copiare questa cartella.
Quindi, andare nella cartella di installazione di XAMPP.
Su Windows, sarà C:/Program Files/XAMPP/htdocs o C:/Xampp/htdocs.
Su Mac, sarà /Applications/XAMPP/htdocs.
Incollare la cartella wordpress copiata in precedenza all’interno della cartella ‘htdocs’.
Si consiglia di rinominare la cartella ‘wordpress’ in ‘website’ o altro. Questo vi aiuterà a identificare facilmente il vostro sito locale.
Successivamente, è necessario aprire il proprio browser web preferito.
È possibile inserire il seguente URL nella barra degli indirizzi del browser:
https://localhost/website1/
Se avete rinominato la cartella WordPress in un altro modo, assicuratevi di sostituire ‘website1’ con il nome della vostra cartella.
Si aprirà la procedura guidata di installazione di WordPress e vi verrà chiesto di selezionare una lingua. Dopo aver selezionato una lingua, fate clic sul pulsante “Continua”.
Nella schermata successiva, apparirà la schermata di benvenuto di WordPress.
Include un avviso che indica che WordPress ha bisogno del nome del database, del nome utente del database, della password e delle informazioni sull’host.
Creiamo un database per il vostro sito WordPress.
È necessario aprire una nuova scheda del browser e visitare https://localhost/phpmyadmin/.
In questo modo si avvia l’applicazione phpMyAdmin, preinstallata in XAMPP. Permette di gestire facilmente i database utilizzando un’interfaccia più semplice.
È necessario fare clic su “Database” e indicare un nome per il nuovo database. Quindi, fare clic sul pulsante “Crea” per continuare.
Ora che avete creato un database, potete utilizzarlo per il vostro sito WordPress.
Tornate alla scheda del browser /localhost/website1/ e fate clic sul pulsante “Let’s Go”.
Nella schermata successiva, vi verrà chiesto di fornire le informazioni sul database di WordPress.
Inserire il nome del database creato in precedenza. Il nome utente è “root” e il campo della password va lasciato vuoto. Per il campo host del database, è necessario utilizzare localhost.
Una volta terminato, fare clic sul pulsante “Invia” per continuare.
Se siete su Windows o Linux, WordPress memorizzerà queste impostazioni nel file di configurazione di WordPress chiamato wp-config.php.
Tuttavia, se siete su un Mac, vi mostrerà il contenuto del file e vi chiederà di crearlo.
È necessario creare questo file nella cartella principale del sito web.
Dopo aver creato il file, incollate al suo interno il testo copiato in precedenza. Successivamente, è necessario salvare il file e tornare al programma di installazione di WordPress per continuare.
Nella fase successiva, WordPress vi chiederà di fornire informazioni sul vostro sito web. Innanzitutto, inserite il titolo che volete utilizzare per questo sito.
Successivamente, è necessario inserire un nome utente, una password e un indirizzo e-mail per l’account amministratore.
Una volta compilate tutte le informazioni, fate clic sul pulsante “Installa WordPress” per continuare.
A questo punto WordPress eseguirà l’installazione e chiederà di effettuare il login una volta terminata.
È possibile accedere al proprio sito web andando alla pagina /localhost/website1/wp-admin e utilizzando il nome utente e la password inseriti durante l’installazione.
Cose da provare dopo la creazione di un sito WordPress locale
Ora che avete creato il vostro sito WordPress locale utilizzando XAMPP, potete lavorare su di esso come fareste con un sito WordPress dal vivo.
Andate al menu Aspetto nella barra laterale di amministrazione di WordPress per personalizzare l’aspetto del vostro sito o installare un nuovo tema.
Ecco alcuni fantastici temi gratuiti che potete provare.
La prossima cosa da fare è installare alcuni plugin di WordPress.
I plugin sono come applicazioni per il vostro sito WordPress e vi permettono di aggiungere funzioni interessanti come un modulo di contatto, pulsanti per i social media, un negozio di e-commerce e molto altro.
Avete bisogno di aiuto per installare i plugin? Consultate la nostra guida passo passo su come installare un plugin di WordPress.
Bonus: Spostare un sito WordPress locale su un server live
Dopo aver lavorato sul vostro sito WordPress locale, potreste volerlo spostare su un server live per creare il vostro primo blog o sito web WordPress.
Per farlo, avrete bisogno di un nome di dominio e di un account di web hosting. Normalmente, un nome di dominio costa 14,99 dollari e l’hosting di un sito web parte da 7,99 dollari al mese.
È troppo se si è agli inizi.
Per fortuna, Bluehost offre agli utenti di WPBeginner un nome di dominio gratuito e un generoso sconto sull’hosting. In pratica, potete iniziare a lavorare per 1,99 dollari al mese.
Per ulteriori consigli sull’hosting, date un’occhiata alla nostra guida completa all’hosting WordPress.
Dopo aver sottoscritto l’hosting, potete seguire la nostra guida passo passo su come spostare WordPress da un server locale a un sito live.
Potreste anche voler dare un’occhiata ai modi alternativi per creare siti WordPress locali su Windows usando Wampserver e su Mac usando MAMP.

I have been using xampp for a long time and first time when I installed it , it was for running php code.
I have also used it for wordpress local environment for understanding and developing websites locally.
one thing that has bother me regarding wordpress installation is username and password.
why we keep user as root and password blank?
this is not the case for live servers though?
WPBeginner Support
It is not something that you would use for a live site but the username being root and the password being blank is the defaults for XAMPP. As your local site would only be active on your computer you do not need to change it for your local XMPP installation.

Sometimes I use XAMPP. The only problem I sometimes encounter is shared hosting, to which the website is migrated from localhost. The problem is that the PHP limits are not always set in the same way on the shared server, or even the PHP version does not match (on the local 8.x and on the server, for example, the old version 7.x). This can often cause a problem in the functionality of the website, which was debugged on a different PHP than the one on the server. That’s probably the only flaw.

Hi, I have used these Xampp instructions to create a server on a PC (Windows 10 Education N). Everything worked perfectly fine and it’s a very useful article. I stuck in one place because I thought the database credentials folder had to be manualy created on Windows the same way it has to be on a Mac but these steps were exclusively for Mac. Thanks a lot!

You’re welcome, glad our guide was helpful!

After having created the database and entered the database connection details, hitting submit gets me this message “There has been a critical error on this website”. Checked everything twice, what should I do?
Thank you for your attention.
WPBeginner Support
For a fresh install, you would want to check the error log for XAMP to help narrow down the specific reason.
Admin
John
Error logs didn’t help. But, as it turns out, for some reason, the most recent version of Xampp caused the same “critical error” response to happen for me too. I ended up uninstalling that version and went with the previous version of Xampp and presto! It works.

I get the following error, when I run http://localhost/mysite/wp-admin/setup-config.php
One or more database tables are unavailable. The database may need to be repaired.
I tried to do global search for “WP-config” file in my xampp folder but just found “wp-config-sample”. though I added the below line in
“wp-config-sample.php” file
// define(‘WP_ALLOW_REPAIR’, true);
not really sure what to do after that.
WPBeginner Support
You would want to open phpMyAdmin and run the repair on all of your tables and if that does not work you would need to reach out to XAMPP’s support
Admin

I am not able to figure out why I am getting this strange error, though I tried to reinstall and connect several times, all I did was I tried to drop my existing database and tried to create a new wrodpress login but All I can see is the following error

phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in your configuration and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server.

Hi
My url to login to Wordpress dashboard is coming as “/localhost/sitename/wordpress/wp-admin” whereas as per the above instructions it should be “/localhost/sitename/wp-admin” .
Would request your help to know how can I remove “wordpess” from the link.
Thanks

For that, you installed the site in a folder named WordPress, if you are just starting out you can reinstall the site without the WordPress folder.

Yesterday I installed XAMPP and WordPress and I worked a bit on a new page using localhost/wordpress.
I also installed some Plugins in WordPress.
But today when put into the browser localhost/wordpress I just get the Page I created yesterday.
Could you please tell me how I can continue editing my page with WordPress?
Thanks

Hello,
As always your tutorials are great. One question though. How do I make multiple localhosts using Xampp.
Think of me as a noob the this. I’ve read a few other tutorials on the subject, but it seems they assume one would have some deeper understanding of processes.
WPBeginner Support
You would create a folder with a different name in the htdocs folder and follow the steps under the ‘Creating a Local WordPress Site with XAMPP’ section and navigate to the new site’s folder when you want to see the other site rather than your first site.

You may want to ensure that there isn’t the theme files in what you’re uploading. If it’s only the theme’s files then you can update your upload size on your XAMPP site using the methods in our article here: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-increase-the-maximum-file-upload-size-in-wordpress/
