See full list on perishablepress.com. We noticed around the web that there were very few quick, straight-shooting tutorials on how to set up multiple Wordpress sites on MAMP Pro. We also noticed. Then, the project has been merged since WordPress 3.0. So, if you are using WordPress 3.0 (and above), you are able to enable this feature and start creating multiple blogs. In this post, we will show you how to develop WordPress Multisite with MAMP, before bringing it online. Make sure you have installed MAMP in your OSX.
I am in the process of installing WordPress locally with Xampp and I will be creating several WordPress sites for clients. After these sites are completed I will upload them to a live server. Manage multiple WordPress websites from one dashboard. Schedule backups, migrate WordPress website, automate updates, monitor website traffic and SEO.
at the moment i work on a few different wp sites and would love to work locally on them. i have two questions for that:1) somehow i do not know who to set up more than one page in mamp
2) if an page already exist and is live but i want to work on it locally for some changes. how do i set up those sites in mamp.i am sure it is almost the same, and i just can't see how it works.
thank you a lot for your answers

Just wanted to chime in here and let you know about DesktopServer - you can find it here :http://serverpress.com/products/desktopserver/The free version allows up to 3 sites at once and makes local develop for WP a breeze !(I have no relationship with this company - just like this application :0 )Best,kj
Great, thanks Zac! After posting, I realized the course was actually moved down to the bottom of the track. Nonetheless, I've taken that course before, and after reviewing DesktopServer, have decided to go that route.
1) You can run multiple wordpress sites with MAMP you just need a separate database and folder(within htdocs) for each one. Check out this video to see how its done (The video is for Macs but the process is pretty much the same for Windows)
2) If you have a live site that you want to work on locally, you can either move it manually or use a plugin. Check out this tutorial which shows both methods.
Hope this helps! :)
thank you very much james, i am going to try it tomorrow morning :-)
Mamp Server
thank you all for your answers going to try it tomorrow.
I would suggest either MAMP Pro or Desktop server.
We have a new course called Modern WordPress Workflow that will replace this Local Development Course and we will be switching to using DesktopServer.
Any update on when Modern WordPress Workflow will come out?
Hi Zac,
It's seems like I just updated the WordPress development track on Treehouse and it actually removed the modern workflow course and replaced it with this one. Is that right?
Mamp Wordpress Local
For just working on multiple installs locally, would you still not recommend MAMP? Why not?

Thanks!

We had to remove modern WordPress Workflow from the track because it conflicts with MAMP.
I like DesktopServer since I've started using it, but MAMP Pro is also pretty good and we used that for a long time here at Treehouse. If you're really serious about WP I would invest in the pro version of MAMP tho rather than the free version. It makes a lot of things a lot easier, like auto installing WP and working with multiple sites and customizing the host file to have custom local domain names.
