Think I’ll stick to LocalWP.

What do you prefer about it over LocalWP? I'm a bit weary given recent events

My suggestion is to use LocalWP and enable Live Links. It gives you a local site with external access.

I’ve false started on working in LocalWP to build
my new website, even tho I’ve watched several demos, I’m still having trouble wrapping my head around some organization and maybe I really do just need to start on a blank bare bones theme to focus.

In other news: I've been migrating my local development projects out of LocalWP and into Herd by Laravel. Jeepers, but Herd is lightning-fast!

Here's another small but handy dandy feature of LocalWP. One-click admin. Set it and forget it. Then click on the WP Admin button to automatically login as Admin for that site.

The Studio app from @wordpress.com continues its slow march to becoming a full-featured local development app (and LocalWP competitor).

Studio now offers a free Sync feature to effortlessly sync between local WordPress sites with WordPress.com.

My inclination is against, as that’s potentially forcing a new default state of WordPress.

I’ve come across folks who think creating dev sites in LocalWP is equivalent to standing up a publicly accessible website. Alternately, most folks I know treat Hello Dolly as a repeated annoyance.

LocalWP is great. It's a real contribution to the WP community. Just works and gets out of the way.

If you want to have your own copy, might I suggest trying LocalWP (free) to spin up a copy on your computer, and then installing this plugin to pull down his posts?

Font Awesome plugin won't work in a local Wordpress site due to LocalWP blocking external API requests. So, I learned how to manually configure Font Awesome with theme.json (register the fonts) and functions.php (enqueuing). Then, lots of tweaking for styling and linking.

also: localwp is such a lifesaver for wordpress projects. setting up sites locally is effortless. i can spin up, test, break, fix, push. and it’s free. on http://wordpress.com you need a business plan just to use basic plugins like elementor.

I spent an afternoon making an application that automatically syncs local and live #wordpress installations using a mix of rsync, scp and we-cli. It’s basically the Direct Push feature of LocalWP, but for any host that supports SSH. Maybe useful to others. Maybe not. Check it out if you want!

So happy with my N100 mini itx local server, running cold and on low power (starts with 6W!), in a little box with a PICO PSU (max 120w), 16GB Ram, a SSD disk (m2 is an option!). Great for my WordPress (or any other PHP stuff) setups, with local SSL. Way faster than LocalWP.

The hardest part is just thinking of what to put on it. You can get a domain name for like between $10 to $15 a year. You can try out free hosting solutions. WordPress (dot org, not com) is fairly beginner friendly.

Can even practice locally using LocalWP first to see if you like it.

Excited to share a preview of Local Media Proxy—an open-source add-on from @amsive.com for @wpengine.com’s Local.

It loads missing WordPress media from remote sites on demand—no need to sync the media library.

Tested on macOS, feedback welcome.
