Setting up WordPress offline involves installing the software on a local computer or server for testing and development purposes, rather than on a live web server. This allows you to make changes and test the site without affecting the live site or slowing down your computer. To set up WordPress offline, you need the following:
- A web server software: such as XAMPP, WAMP, or MAMP to run the WordPress software on your local machine.
- A database management system: such as MySQL, which is required by WordPress to store content and information.
- The latest version of WordPress software: which can be downloaded from the WordPress.org website.
