• Introducing WP Setup

  Developing WordPress plugins and themes often requires a reliable development environment.

• Self hosting wordpress for testing

  Personally if you’re on windows I like using localwp (localwp.com) from wheelfly / wpengine it lets you quickly spin up multiple sites, duplicate them, test mail, one click admin, etc. Its helped me prototype multiple websites over the last year faster than I ever did manually setting up Wordpress instances on vms or docker.

• Is there any training program on basic PHP for WordPress?

  IMHO Don't worry about the Flywheel environment that's referred to in in the course, just use Local WP to provision a local hosting environment https://localwp.com/ – or MAMP or whatever you prefer – and go from there. Source: 8 months ago

• WpEngine - yes / no or ...?

  More recently I've been working with Kinsta. Although they are more expensive, the platform is way more developer friendly. You can manage your own deployment pipeline through GIT or use their DevKinsta development tool. They also offer application hosting. The biggest attraction to me is their support and CDN which automatically optimises images and serves WebP. Source: about 1 year ago

• Your favourite software to develop Wordpress locally on Ubuntu?

  Sorry, I thought Laragon was cross platform. DevKinsta runs on Linux. You might give it a try. It requires Docker. https://kinsta.com/devkinsta/. Source: over 1 year ago

• Wordpress

  You can use local server for development (e.g. Local WP or DevKinsta...). When you create a new website, wizard will ask you for an address - simply provide domain of old website. It will work without any problems 👍 Then when you finish new website all you need to do will be transferring files and database and update wp-config.php database connection settings 😋.
