How to Install WordPress locally using XAMPP Localhost on Windows 10/11 (2025 Update) Step-by-Step

Learn how to easily install and run WordPress locally on your computer using XAMPP with this complete, step-by-step tutorial. If you've ever wanted a private development environment to build or test WordPress sites, this guide is for you. We use XAMPP because it automatically installs the Apache server and MySQL database required to run WordPress on your machine.

This video walks you through the entire process, from downloading the necessary software to installing your first theme and plugin on your new local WordPress website.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to:
Download the correct version of XAMPP for Windows from the official Apache Friends website.
Run the XAMPP installer and configure the setup with default settings.
Download the latest version of WordPress directly from WordPress.org.
Start the Apache and MySQL services from the XAMPP control panel.
Verify that your local server is running by accessing localhost.
Place your WordPress files in the correct htdocs folder.
Create a new MySQL database using phpMyAdmin.
Connect WordPress to your database and complete the installation process.
Manually create and configure the wp-config.php file if needed.
Log in to your new WordPress dashboard.
Install a new theme (like Astra) and a plugin (like Elementor).
