What You’ll Learn in This Video Series:

This Tagalog video series is divided into multiple easy-to-follow lessons. Below are the complete topics included:

Introduction

We’ll begin by understanding why installing WordPress locally is important. I’ll explain the benefits of local development, especially for beginners and developers who want to test themes or plugins without affecting a live website.

Step 1: Download and Install XAMPP

You’ll learn where to download XAMPP, how to install it on Windows 11, and how to choose the correct PHP version that works well with WordPress. We’ll go over the entire installation process clearly.

Step 2: Start Apache and MySQL via XAMPP Control Panel

This section covers how to launch and manage XAMPP services. We’ll verify if your local server is running and how to check http://localhost/.

Step 3: Set Up a Custom Domain with Virtual Hosts

Instead of using localhost, I’ll teach you how to create a custom project folder and set up a domain like myproject.local. This makes your development environment more professional.

Step 4: Configure Apache Virtual Hosts

We’ll edit the httpd-vhosts.conf file and add your custom domain and document root path. You’ll learn how to write virtual host configurations correctly and avoid common syntax errors.

Step 5: Edit the Windows hosts File

You’ll learn how to map your custom domain to your local IP address (127.0.0.1). I’ll show you how to edit the Windows hosts file safely with admin rights.

Step 6: Download the WordPress Core Files

In this part, we’ll download the latest version of WordPress from the official website, extract the files, and move them into your project folder inside htdocs.

Step 7: Create a MySQL Database using phpMyAdmin

We’ll access phpMyAdmin and create a new database for your WordPress site. I’ll also explain how to optionally create a new database user and assign a password.

Step 8: Configure wp-config.php

This section teaches how to correctly edit the WordPress configuration file. We’ll set your database name, username, password, and database host to connect WordPress with MySQL.

Step 9: Install WordPress

Now that everything is ready, we’ll open your local domain in the browser and go through the WordPress installation process. You’ll learn how to set the site title, admin username, password, and complete the setup.
