I couldn't get a single word she said in this course..!

Hi there,

Unfortunately this is a tricky topic to summarise as there's a number of ways to migrate files from a local server to your web domain, depending on your system and what software you use.

I suggest looking at the teachers' notes, rewatching the video and the video transcript to see if you can have a better time following along. If that helps, slow down the play of the video as well.

Essentially what happens is you will have 2 installations of WordPress. One lives in your computers hard drive in a location that your software uses for local server space, so you can use server-side scripting languages like PHP without the need to connect to a web server.

The other installation is the one that goes in your web server. Now, when you make posts, and pages in your local installation, and change settings, those changes are saved in a mySQL database. You can use phpmyadmin to make a database backup file which you can then use to import into phpmyadmin on server side.

You will probably have to run a plugin in the server side to update some URLS but the data will now be picked up on the server side.

If all this is sounding a bit much, don't worry about it. This is the sort of thing that takes time to practice. It took several test runs, getting the data from local to web before I was anywhere close to comfortable with it. :)

Good luck!

This last section of the course was lazy. Being told to google half the steps.

I just think they should take it slow and explain a litle better what they are doing there... but with the hellp of google and youtube somehow i gona understand this madness..
