After knowing about the meaning of
wordpress and the ins and outs
worsdpress or
wordpress official Site there are 2 types, namely wordpress.org and wordpress.com. Both are equally part of
wordpress.
|
wordpress app |
On the site www.wordpress.org is a
wordpress CMS
site here we will download the
wordpress application. This site is a portal for
wordpress. Inside there are documentation, themes, plugins, and forums about
wordpress. This is a mandatory site if you want to learn in depth about
wordpress. We will discuss how to use this site in a few moments.
While on the site www.wordpress.com is a site to create a free online web with
wordpress. If you ever use blogger.com, the same is also available for
wordpress. In this site you can create a
wordpress website with the address: nama_anda.wordpress.com. The site is managed by
automattic, a company that also resides behind CMS
wordpress. You can register, and directly use
wordpress.
If you use wordpress.com you will have many restrictions so we
can not use
wordpress optimally, unless you choose the paid option.
So which sites do we use?
In this post I will run
wordpress locally (offline) on our own computer, not through wordpress.com.
However I also recommend you to register at wordpress.com to see the different features available.
If you already have a
wordpress site
in hosting itself, what we will learn here can also be applied.
How to Download WordPress
Because I will access
wordpress on local computer, then we need to use 2 pieces of
application,
ie wordpress file, and web application + PHP + MySQL server like XAMPP.
For how to use XAMPP, I will discuss in the next tutorial.
To get
wordpress files, please visit www.wordpress.org. On this home page there are 2 pieces of download button, namely at the top right, and the middle of the website. Please click on one of them. In this
example I will use the button: Download WordPress 4.1. Please click this button, and you will be taken to the page: https://wordpress.org/download/.

wordpress
Next, on the download page, please click the Download WordPress 4.1 button on the right side of the page. The web browser will then download the
wordpress-4.1
.zip file. Save this file on your computer.
Wordpress 4.1 size is about 6.4 MB.
How to Download WordPress - Start the download process
WordPress is one of the most frequently updated CMS for adding new features or closing the existing bugs / bugs. So most likely when you read this tutorial, the
wordpress version used is no longer version 4.1. Basically a guide how to use
wordpress will remain the same (maybe with the addition of some features).
As an
alternative if wordpress hold a major update, I provide a link to download
wordpress version 4.1 that I will use in all the
wordpress tutorials in
duniailkom this. WordPress version 4.1 can be accessed at: http://wordpress.org/wordpress-4.1.zip
How to Download WordPress - WordPress files
This
wordpress-4.1
.zip file is a collection of hundreds of PHP pages in zip form. To be able to use it, we must put this file into a web server that supports PHP and MySQL. If you use web hosting, this application is immediately available. However, because we want to run it on the local computer
offline we need a special application like XAMPP or WAMP.
In this tutorial learn word tutorial we have finished saving
wordpress file 4.1. In the next
wordpress tutorial, we will learn how to install XAMPP application to prepare
wordpress installation process.
