Why we are discussing on this topic because we are here to tell you when any developer of WordPress wants to test new themes, plugins, or another development testing. then he creates a local setup of any WordPress site. so let’s look below how to do this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

first of all, you have to take a backup of WordPress site and create a database for it in your localhost\/phpmyadmin. Click on New button for creating a new database ( eg. aiaviation ) and put a name for database and click on create button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
