Install WordPress in windows 10

 To install WordPress on Windows 10, you can use the following steps:

  1. Download and install XAMPP for Windows from the official website: https://www.apachefriends.org/download.html

  2. Start the Apache and MySQL modules in XAMPP Control Panel.

  3. Create a new MySQL database and user for WordPress:

    • Open phpMyAdmin by going to http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ in your web browser.
    • Click on the "Databases" tab and create a new database, for example "wordpress"
    • Click on the new database, then click on the "Privileges" tab.
    • Click on the "Add user" button and fill the form to create a new user, for example "wp_user" with a password.
    • Grant all privileges to the new user

  4. Download the latest version of WordPress from the official website: https://wordpress.org/download/

  5. Extract the downloaded file and move it to the XAMPP's htdocs folder, usually located in C:\xampp\htdocs\

  6. Rename the extracted folder to something like "wordpress"

  7. Run the WordPress installation script by accessing http://localhost/wordpress/ in your web browser.

  8. Follow the prompts to complete the installation, including providing the database information you created earlier.

You should now be able to access your WordPress site by going to http://localhost/wordpress/ in your web browser.

Note: It's important to keep in mind that installing a local server like XAMPP, will only let you test WordPress on your own computer, it will not be accessible by anyone else.
