Working with Wordpress offline ?

6 replies
Do you work on your new Wordpress website directly online ?
If so, can indexing happen with your unfinished Wordpress ?

I use an under construction plugin while working online, but the idea of SE indexing it does bother me. Can it happen ? Can someone have an advice ?

Or have anyone find an easy automated way to work offline and upload everything ?

Thanks all for your help.

    You can install XAMPP on your machine and work offline.

    And there is a Privacy setting in wp-admin > Settings: be found/indexed by SE or not.

      Thank you for the Privacy setting tips Istvan !

      Yes, I'm using MAMP as a Mac user. Is there a easy automated way to upload the whole website ?

      or do you prefered to work straight online ?

    Yeah working offline can also help you. I have tried it and it works good.

    You can also work directly online. Don't be bothered with the indexing. Yes, you are correct though, indexing happen even though your site isn't complete. When post "site under construction" search engines would index that.

    But, search engine indexing does not happen once only. Search engines index websites again and again from time to time. So, when you finish our site, search engines would index it again for updates when spiders visit your site.

    Well, when you finish working on your site online and you want the update indexed. Do SEO (blogging, backlinking, bookmarking, etc) extensively, that would give a higher chance of your site getting visited or crawled by search engine spiders thus indexing your site again.

    I set up one test subdomain with WP on it, and remove all the ping servers. That way I always have a WP install to play around with, making themes look better, and so forth.

    Thank you all for your advice !

    Working offline for me is much much faster. I can tweak and navigate faster, it's almost instant. But then, I still didn't find a good solution to upload the local version online.

    So I have to redo it for the online version, step like settings, copying css, upload image, etc..

    Until then I guess I'll stick with working online. ^^

    But then I'm still trying to figu
