1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:06,310 Every server including local environments and live hosting servers on the internet works a little bit 2 00:00:06,310 --> 00:00:07,160 differently. 3 00:00:07,210 --> 00:00:13,310 And so this is an example of how WordPress could be installed manually using local by flywheel. 4 00:00:13,510 --> 00:00:19,180 Coming up in this chapter I'll show you how I installed WordPress manually using another local environment 5 00:00:19,180 --> 00:00:20,380 called Map. 6 00:00:20,590 --> 00:00:23,970 But you should follow along in whichever environment you have. 7 00:00:24,190 --> 00:00:27,810 You can refer back to this video later or follow along now. 8 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:33,010 And in doing this you'll get a feel for how WordPress works and the way it connects the core files to 9 00:00:33,010 --> 00:00:34,060 the database. 10 00:00:34,330 --> 00:00:41,270 Let's go now I'm going to create a new WordPress installation in local by flywheel and I suggest you 11 00:00:41,270 --> 00:00:42,370 do the same. 12 00:00:42,410 --> 00:00:50,600 So I'm going to go ahead and log out of my practice site one close the tabs and I'm going to close that 13 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:58,640 tab as well in my browser and I'm going to go back to local buy flywheel and just so that I don't work 14 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:03,270 on this site instead I'm going to turn this site off. 15 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:10,400 So practice site one is now turned off and I have a second one called practice site 2 that I've just 16 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,640 installed using the plus button over here. 17 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:20,560 And I did a very default installation with no changes at all and I called it practice site too. 18 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:27,410 So stop the video if you like and hit the plus sign and set up a second site that we're going to do 19 00:01:27,410 --> 00:01:29,510 a manual installation on. 20 00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:33,060 Or you can just follow along here. 21 00:01:33,090 --> 00:01:40,440 The reason I use local by flywheel to create the installation first and then go ahead and change it 22 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:48,780 so that I can use that environment to install WordPress manually is because it's just convenient local 23 00:01:48,780 --> 00:01:54,860 by flywheel sets up the config file so that it's already connected to the database. 24 00:01:54,930 --> 00:02:00,600 That way when we install WordPress manually We know that all the credentials are correct. 25 00:02:01,510 --> 00:02:09,000 Now let's first take a look at the file structure for this practice site to give you an open file explorer 26 00:02:09,010 --> 00:02:18,010 again and I'll go back to my local sites folder in my username under users on the main hard drive and 27 00:02:18,010 --> 00:02:23,590 I'll find practice site too and the app folder and the public folder. 28 00:02:23,770 --> 00:02:29,270 You can see that these are the files that are the Word Press Corps files. 29 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:36,580 And like I mentioned in the last video if we go to WordPress dot org and we download this zip file and 30 00:02:36,580 --> 00:02:37,650 then unzip it. 31 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:45,280 These are the exact files that will end up with from that zip file with the exception of the WP config 32 00:02:46,030 --> 00:02:48,860 file that was created from the sample. 33 00:02:49,090 --> 00:02:58,260 Let's open the WPE could fig dash sample that ph file in a text or a code editor. 34 00:02:58,270 --> 00:03:02,210 Now I have it open in my Adam code editor right here. 35 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:09,150 And you can see that it's just got some default data for the database name and the user and the password 36 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:14,230 and what the host name is which by default might be localhost. 37 00:03:14,230 --> 00:03:24,310 Now compare that to if I go back into the file structure and I open that W.P. config DUP file this file 38 00:03:24,490 --> 00:03:30,890 has been created by WordPress when local by flywheel installed it. 39 00:03:30,970 --> 00:03:32,080 So you can see the difference. 40 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,280 The database name is local and the user name is root. 41 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,190 The password is root and the host name is localhost. 42 00:03:40,540 --> 00:03:48,100 And also there are some salts or unique keys and phrases down here that we will set up in a later video 43 00:03:48,370 --> 00:03:52,100 when we do a manual installation in the next section. 44 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:58,150 That's just to show you what you would get if you downloaded WordPress from WordPress dark instead of 45 00:03:58,150 --> 00:04:03,350 just downloading this and replacing it inside of my file structure. 46 00:04:03,370 --> 00:04:10,990 I'm just going to make the assumption that this is the file these are the same files and the W.P. config 47 00:04:11,980 --> 00:04:16,130 file is already set up for this server. 48 00:04:16,150 --> 00:04:21,910 However the main change that we're going to make so that we can go through the Wordpress installation 49 00:04:21,910 --> 00:04:29,620 process that manual installation process is that we're going to delete the database tables out of that 50 00:04:29,620 --> 00:04:32,390 database as we did in the last video. 51 00:04:32,530 --> 00:04:37,820 Click the database tab here and click add Mynor for this Web site. 52 00:04:38,140 --> 00:04:42,330 Now you can make sure you're in the right Web site up in the address bar of your browser. 53 00:04:42,340 --> 00:04:49,480 This one is my practice site to local and so I know I'm in the right database and what I'm going to 54 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,420 do is look at all these database tables. 55 00:04:52,420 --> 00:04:53,590 There's 12 in total. 56 00:04:53,590 --> 00:04:59,130 And I'm going to click the check box at the top left which selects all those database tables. 57 00:04:59,470 --> 00:05:05,170 And then after that I'm going to come down here and click drop when I click a drop gives me a window 58 00:05:05,170 --> 00:05:10,480 that says Are you sure because this is going to delete all the tables out of the database but it's going 59 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,280 to leave the database intact. 60 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,270 We're just erasing an existing database. 61 00:05:16,270 --> 00:05:16,770 So I'll hit. 62 00:05:16,780 --> 00:05:17,640 OK. 63 00:05:17,710 --> 00:05:20,110 And now the message in admen or tells me OK. 64 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,050 In this database there are no tables. 65 00:05:23,210 --> 00:05:27,450 So how are we going to get the tables back and get this working. 66 00:05:27,490 --> 00:05:37,060 If I go right now to local buy flywheel with the empty database and I click say View site and I click 67 00:05:37,060 --> 00:05:39,340 View say here we go. 68 00:05:39,340 --> 00:05:48,330 Now the Wordpress files are in place and the Word Press W.P. config file is correct. 69 00:05:48,340 --> 00:05:51,390 It's actually communicating with the database correctly. 70 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:57,150 The reason I know that is because this is the first step of setting up WordPress manually. 71 00:05:57,580 --> 00:06:03,340 So now I'm going to go through this process which is a script they use called the famous five minute 72 00:06:03,340 --> 00:06:05,270 WordPress install process. 73 00:06:05,410 --> 00:06:11,410 Now so many hosts and local environments install WordPress automatically that you may not have to go 74 00:06:11,410 --> 00:06:17,080 through this process very often but choose your language and click continue. 75 00:06:17,380 --> 00:06:23,290 And now since we're already connected to the database it just needs a little bit of information about 76 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,600 what the word press is going to entail. 77 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:31,480 It's going to create the first user and we'll choose our password as well. 78 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:37,240 And this is the welcome message Welcome to the famous five minute WordPress installation process. 79 00:06:37,330 --> 00:06:39,010 And so let's see. 80 00:06:39,010 --> 00:06:44,580 I'm going to call this practice site too so I can define know which one it is. 81 00:06:44,670 --> 00:06:51,840 I use my standard username and then I'm going to choose a password that I know I'll be able to remember. 82 00:06:51,940 --> 00:06:53,380 It doesn't have to be that 83 00:06:55,870 --> 00:07:00,730 difficult or that strong of a password since this isn't a public facing Web site. 84 00:07:00,970 --> 00:07:03,180 Nobody can access this on the web. 85 00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:05,800 And then there needs to be an email address 86 00:07:11,650 --> 00:07:13,190 for each user account. 87 00:07:13,450 --> 00:07:18,410 And then you can choose discouraging search engine visibility on a live server. 88 00:07:18,460 --> 00:07:23,710 You might do that in order to develop the site or hide it behind a maintenance screen. 89 00:07:23,860 --> 00:07:30,640 In either case you don't need to check that box and I'll click install Wordpress and I can save that 90 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,170 username and password again. 91 00:07:32,170 --> 00:07:33,500 And that was it success. 92 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:40,000 WordPress has been installed so I can click the logon button which brings me to that standard log in 93 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:45,350 page log in with the username and password that I had the browser remember. 94 00:07:45,370 --> 00:07:47,310 And here we are our practice site 2. 95 00:07:47,590 --> 00:07:50,000 And I can right click. 96 00:07:50,060 --> 00:07:57,190 Visit site and open that new tab and I have my standard default fresh and clean WordPress installation. 97 00:07:57,250 --> 00:07:58,300 Ready to go. 98 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:05,560 Now let's take a look at the database that's still open and let's just refresh the page and you could 99 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,480 see that all the database tables are back. 100 00:08:08,650 --> 00:08:12,800 Let's just verify under W.P. options and select data. 101 00:08:13,090 --> 00:08:13,550 Yeah. 102 00:08:13,570 --> 00:08:20,960 There's the practice site to local same Yoro that I have up here and so that worked for me. 103 00:08:20,980 --> 00:08:30,040 The quick quick quick WordPress five minute installation process and that's how we do it in the next 104 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:30,690 sections. 105 00:08:30,700 --> 00:08:37,390 You'll see that I teach you how to install WordPress manually using the map local development environment 106 00:08:37,810 --> 00:08:44,230 and I've added this local by a flywheel system in ahead of that because I find that it's much easier 107 00:08:44,230 --> 00:08:49,900 and it loads and works faster on my browser than map does. 108 00:08:49,900 --> 00:08:55,870 But follow along if you like you can continue to use local by flywheel instead of map and in the next 109 00:08:55,870 --> 00:09:00,760 sections take what you need out of the video lesson's. 110 00:09:00,940 --> 00:09:06,670 In this lesson I showed you how you can use local by flywheel to experiment with installing WordPress 111 00:09:06,670 --> 00:09:07,750 manually. 112 00:09:07,750 --> 00:09:13,240 It's a good exercise just to get familiar with how WordPress works to connect the files to the database 113 00:09:13,870 --> 00:09:14,770 in the future. 114 00:09:14,770 --> 00:09:20,950 You can feel free to rely on auto installers in local or at your hosting company to install WordPress 115 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,570 automatically in the next video. 116 00:09:23,620 --> 00:09:28,630 We'll explore different types of hosting environments for Wordpress including another local development 117 00:09:28,630 --> 00:09:33,120 environment called Map if local by flywheel is working well for you. 118 00:09:33,190 --> 00:09:37,450 Feel free to just follow along with the map lessons but keep using local instead.
