My impression of WordPress is that it is a simply elegant way of hosting content. As with technology things are always changing and thus guides get out of date. I ran into some issues with information no longer where it should be. I listed my issues below.
Using Local Application
Setting up WordPress on the Local application went well for having a local install. I still need to play around with this application to see if it would work with my website. I have questions about syncing the data on my local site with my actual online site. I might have to find another way to host locally.
Filezilla Connection
WordPress Dashboard didn’t show any of the information listed to connect in my Filezilla as shown in the video. https://youtu.be/IuXdM1yj5jA
There is no WP Sandbox on my website or on the Local install. I guess there have been changes to WordPress since this video.
I was able to get access my website with help of this video. https://youtu.be/efgPQw0Aq2A
My hosting company had a new Hpanel that didn’t show the options listed. Fortunately, it had a way to go back to the old Hpanel and I was able to follow along with the video. I was able to make a connection and make a local copy of my website.
