If you’ve read Part I of this series, you should have a working copy of WordPress running on your computer—or at least you know how to set it up. In this second part of the series, I’ll show you how to use Dreamweaver to create your own WordPress design—or actually, how to customize one of WordPress’s many themes to match the look and feel you’re after.
About WordPress Themes
As you learned in the previous article, WordPress is a content management system (CMS) used to display content stored in a database. WordPress doesn’t have a bunch of HTML files in the sense you’re probably accustomed to. You don’t build a HTML file for every page of your site with WordPress; instead, you or your client uses an administrative panel to enter and manage the site’s content. The actual text of a page is stored in a database, and when a visitor goes to a page on a site, WordPress retrieves the content from the database and merges it with HTML templates.
The look and feel of a site—which includes different designs and layouts for different types of pages, such as the homepage, a blog post, and a list of blog posts within a particular category—is controlled by what WordPress calls a “theme.” A theme is a collection of files composed of HTML, CSS, PHP, and sometimes JavaScript. You can switch from one theme to another on the same site, instantly changing the overall look of the site while retaining all the same content. This flexible design approach is one of the reasons people love WordPress.
Because WordPress themes include complicated PHP programming to control how content is displayed on a page, it’s usually best for designers new to WordPress to start with an existing theme and alter its CSS and HTML until you like how it looks. While creating a theme from scratch is definitely doable, it takes a lot more work (and knowledge) than simply editing an already created theme.
Anatomy of a Theme
A theme’s files are stored inside a folder that’s inside WordPress’ “themes” folder, which is inside the “wp-content” folder within the main WordPress folder. If you followed along with the instructions in Part I, you’ll find the WordPress themes for Windows at C:wampwwwblogwp-contentthemes, and on Macs as Applications:MAMP:htdocs:blog:wp-content:themes.
Go ahead and look there now. Unless you’ve added themes, you should see a single folder titled “twentyten.” Twenty Ten is the default theme that ships with WordPress, and it’s a good starting point for developing your own theme. But rather than muck around with the original theme files, it’s best to make a copy, so duplicate that folder and name it “creativepro”. Now there should be two folders—twentyten and creativepro—in the templates folder.
Launch WAMP or MAMP and start Dreamweaver. (Read the previous article if you need to refresh your memory of WAMP/MAMP.) You’ll begin by looking at the files that make up this theme and editing some important information in the CSS file that tells WordPress about this theme.
1. In Dreamweaver, open the Files panel if it’s not already open (Window > Files). If you followed the instructions from the previous article, you should have a blog folder at the top level of your site. Expand that folder by clicking the + (Windows) or arrow (Mac) to the left of “blog”. Next, expand the “wp-content” folder to see the files and folders inside it.
2. Locate and expand the “creativepro” folder inside the “themes” folder. The files panel should look something like Figure 1.
Figure 1. A WordPress theme is composed of dozens of PHP, CSS, and image files. The PHP files contain both the HTML used to display your blog posts as well as the PHP programming used to retrieve content from the WordPress database.
Each theme is made up of a style sheet (style.css), a bunch of PHP files—404.php, archive.php, and so on—an images folder, and a few other files. The style.css file defines the look for the theme and the PHP files are used to build the content for each page on the blog.
Some PHP files are used to specific types of pages: for example, a single blog post uses the HTML and PHP programming inside the single.php file, while the archive.php file provides an archive list of blog posts. Some of the PHP files are used on multiple pages: for instance, header.php provides the HTML and PHP for the first chunk of code that appears on a page, including the <head> section with the page’s title, and a link to the site stylesheet.
If you’re new to PHP-driven web development, the way WordPress assembles a page may seem odd. Instead of having a single file with all of the HTML code for a page, WordPress combines several files to create a single page. Each file contains a bit of the code needed for the page, so the header.php file adds the <head> content; the sidebar.php file adds content in a sidebar on the page; the footer.php file adds HTML that appears at the bottom of the page (like a copyright notice); and other files like index.php and single.php provide the main content that appears on each type of page.
This technique is really efficient. Since it’s common for pages on a site to share the same header, footer, and sidebar sections, by separating that content into individual files, WordPress can combine those files with different presentations of main content for different types of pages—like the blog’s homepage, a single blog post, a single page of content, and a search results page. In other words, when you visit a blog post, WordPress combines the HTML and programming code for the header.php, sidebar.php, footer.php, and single.php to create a single HTML file; and when you visit an archive listing of blog posts, WordPress combines the header, footer, and sidebar with the code in the archive.php file.
While you can edit the code inside each of these PHP files, you’ll spend a lot of your time with the theme’s stylesheet: the style.css file. Because CSS controls how the HTML for a site looks, to customize the look and feel for a WordPress site you’ll edit and add styles to the stylesheet. Let’s take a look at it:
In Dreamweaver, open the style.css file. You’ll notice that the code begins with a block of comments with the name of the theme and other information. This comment isn’t just there to document who created the CSS file. WordPress reads this information when you visit the “Appearance” tab in the WordPress administrative panel. The theme name listed in the stylesheet, for example, is used to identify the theme in the administrative panel.
Take the following steps to make changes to this file and enable this new theme in the WordPress administration panel:
1. In the stylesheet.css file, change the “Theme Name” to “CreativePro”. Note that you have to leave “Theme Name: ” in place in order for WordPress to recognize this as a theme. In other words, you change “Theme Name: Twenty Ten” to “Theme Name: CreativePro”.
2. Change the “Theme URI” to https://creativepro.com (or the URL of your choice.)
3. Change the “Description” to “The CreativePro theme is an adaptation of WordPress’ 2010 Theme”.
4. Change the Author to “Me and WordPress” (or whatever you’d like).
5. Save the file.
6. Now go to the WordPress administration dashboard by typing https://localhost/blog/wp-admin/ into your web browser’s location bar. (You may need to login using the name and password you used when setting up WordPress as described in the first article in this series.)
7. In the left navigation bar, click the Appearance button. This takes you to the Manage Themes page. You’ll notice that your new theme appears below the 2010 theme.
8. Click the Activate link below the new CreativePro theme. The CreativePro theme is now listed at the top of the page as the new active theme (Figure 2). Any changes you now make to those theme files will be reflected in the blog.
Figure 2: The screenshot that appears with each theme is simply a PNG file stored in each theme’s folder. You can create your own screenshot for your theme. Just create a 300 pixel x 225 pixel graphic; save it as “screenshot.png” in your theme’s folder. Iin this exercise you’d save it in C:WAMPwwwblogwp-contentthemescreativepro or Applications:MAMP:htdocs:blog:wp-content:themes:creativepro . Click the image to see a larger version.
Using Dreamweaver’s Live View With WordPress
Editing a WordPress theme isn’t always easy. Since any particular page on a blog is actually a combination of many different files, knowing which file controls which part of a page isn’t particularly obvious. In addition, just because the site-wide stylesheet, style.css, contains all the formatting information for the site doesn’t mean you know which style formats which chunk of content.
Fortunately, Dreamweaver CS5 introduces a more intuitive way to view and edit a theme. Dreamweaver CS5 lets you preview your blog directly within Dreamweaver, meaning that you can see fully assembled WordPress pages in Dreamweaver’s Live View. This lets you immediately preview changes you make to files. You can even navigate within Dreamweaver, jumping from page to page of your blog by clicking a link in Live View. Best of all, Dreamweaver lets you see which CSS styles format a given page element, and lets you update the style to immediately change the formatting of a page.
Using Dreamweaver in this way isn’t intuitive, however. You need to follow a few steps to get going:
1. In Dreamweaver’s Files panel, locate and open the index.php file inside the WordPress folder. This step can be confusing, because if you look closely there are a lot of index.php files: one inside each theme folder, one inside the themes folder itself, one inside the wp-content folder, and so on. The one you’re after is the master index.php at the topmost folder containing WordPress; if you followed the steps in the previous article, you should find it in the folder named “blog”. (This is where you placed WordPress.)
This page is blank, and even if you go into code view you’ll see very little code. Nonetheless, this single file is the master control file for WordPress. It’s the file that’s loaded whenever someone visits your blog, and it decides which other files are needed to display the posts, archives, and homepage of the blog.
2. Click the “Discover” link that appears just above Dreamweaver’s Design view area of the page (circled in Figure 3). You may see a dialog box appear; if so, click Yes to continue. Note that the Discover feature works only if you turned on your local web server (WAMP or MAMP).
Figure 3: When working with PHP-driven web sites, Dreamweaver’s “Discover” link finds all the files needed by the current PHP page. Click the image to see a larger version.
Because WordPress puts together multiple files to create a page, you may need to edit two, three, or more files to change how a single page looks on your blog.
Dreamweaver’s “Discover” tool loads all of the files that are used by WordPress and displays them in the related files toolbar.
3. Click the “Live View” button at the top of the document window (Figure 4) to see the page as it appears when run through a Web server. You’ll see the homepage for the blog. In addition, the Related files toolbar lists all of the files WordPress uses—and there are a lot! There are so many that you need to open the “Show More” menu (circled in Figure 4) to see all of the files WordPress needs to use to display a single page.
Figure 4: WordPress requires literally dozens of other files to work. Most of these should never be changed, since this can break WordPress. Click the image to see a larger version.
You should not change most of these files; WordPress needs them as is. The only files you should work with are your theme files. Fortunately, Dreamweaver provides a way to show only certain files.
4. Click the Filter button on the right edge of the related files toolbar (circled in Figure 5), then select “Custom filter” from the menu that appears. In the dialog box that appears, type “style.css;header.php;footer.php;sidebar.php;index.php” (don’t include any spaces) and press the OK key. The related files toolbar now lists just a few files from the CreativePro theme.
Figure 5: To reduce the number of files listed for WordPress in the related files toolbar, you can create a Custom Filter.
Editing HTML in a WordPress Theme
To change the HTML in a WordPress theme, you must open one of the theme’s PHP files. For example, the header.php file contains the HTML that’s at the beginning of a page, while the sidebar.php file adds content to the sidebar. Edit the code inside any of these files to change the theme’s appearance. For example, let’s say you want to remove the giant image that spans the length of the page for the theme we’re working with.
1. Click the “Split” button in the document toolbar to display both the page design and the code.
2. Click “header.php” in the related files toolbar to display the code for the header of the page.
3. Locate the code that begins with “<?php // Check if this is a post” (lines 68 and 69). Select the code from that point down to and including line 78, which ends with “<?php endif ?>” (Figure 6).
Figure 6: WordPress files include a mixture of HTML and PHP code. Click the image to see a larger version.
4. Hit the delete key to remove this code. Save the file and hit the “Refresh” button (circled in Figure 6 above). The image on the page disappears.
Now you’ve removed the default image that comes with the Twenty Ten theme. But what if you want to include your own images on a page? Unfortunately, you can’t simply use Dreamweaver’s “Insert Image” command. Instead you have to use a bit of PHP. Here’s how:
1. Put any images you want to be part of your theme in an images folder inside the theme’s folder. If you’re following along with the setup from this series, you’d put image in C:WAMPwwwblogwp-contentthemescreativeproimages (Windows) or Applications:MAMP:htdocs:blog:wp-content:themes:creativepro:images (Mac).
2. Add an <img> tag to the HTML of the file where you wish the image to appear. For example, to add an image to the banner area of a WordPress theme, open the header.php file and place an <img> tag somewhere inside the <div id=”masthead”> section.
Let’s assume you have an image named logo.png that is 100 pixels wide and 25 pixels tall. You could add this code:
<img src=”/images/logo.png” width=”100″ height=”25″>
However, the code won’t work just yet. Because the image is buried inside your theme folder, you need to give WordPress the proper page to that theme’s folder. To do that, you add a bit of PHP.
3. Edit the <img> tag you added in the previous step by adding <?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?> directly after src=”. For example, you’d re-write the code above like this:
<img src=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/images/logo.png” width=”100″ height=”25″>
The <?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?> code tells WordPress to find the proper URL for the current theme’s folder and add it to the HTML.
Using Dreamweaver’s Inspect Mode
While editing the code inside a theme’s PHP files can let you change the HTML used in your blog, navigating the often strange-looking PHP code can be a bit daunting. Fortunately, the easiest way to make a theme look different is to edit the CSS rules in the theme’s stylesheet, the style.css file. The real problem is figuring out which style applies to which page element; but, thanks to Dreamweaver CS5’s “Inspect” mode, finding the style you’re after is a snap.
Dreamweaver’s Inspect mode lets you mouse around a page, click on a page element, and immediately see the CSS style associated with that element. You can then edit the CSS and update the look of the page. Here’s how to use Inspect mode:
1. In the CSS Styles panel, click the Current button (circled in Figure 7). The Inspect Mode works in conjunction with the Current mode of the CSS styles panel to list styles applied to a page element.
Figure 7: Use Dreamweaver’s Inspect Mode to analyze the CSS applied to elements on a page. Click the image to see a larger version.
2. Make sure Live View is on. (If you’re continuing from the previous numbered list of instructions, you’re already in Live View, and the Live View button in the Document toolbar will be highlighted in blue. If it’s not, then click the button).
3. Click the Inspect button directly to the right of the Live View button.
4. Mouse around the page. As you do this, Dreamweaver highlights page elements.
When Dreamweaver highlights an element while in Inspect mode, you’ll find several helpful clues to help you navigate the document’s structure and CSS:
* A light-blue background indicates the content area of an element. For example, in Figure 7 above, the blue area represents a <div> tag and the area for content inside that div.
* A yellow background indicates a margin on the element. In Figure 7, the yellow stripe at the top of the page is a top margin that’s applied to the div.
* A purple background indicates padding. In Figure 7, the purple stripe on the left side of the page represents a 20 pixel padding applied to the div.
* In the tag selector at the bottom of the page, Dreamweaver highlights the tag you’re mousing over. In Figure 7, Dreamweaver is highlighting a button-like object that reads <div.hfeed#wrapper>. This indicates a <div> tag that has a class of “hfeed” applied to it, and an ID of “wrapper”.
TIP: When mousing over an element in Inspect mode, press the left arrow key to highlight the tag that wraps around the element (also known as the immediate ancestor). For example, if you mouse over a <div> tag and then press the left arrow key, Dreamweaver highlights the closest tag that wraps around that div. Continue pressing the left-arrow key and you’ll eventually highlight the <body> tag, which wraps around all content on a page.
The CSS Style Panel’s Current Mode
The real benefit of Inspect mode comes when the CSS Styles panel is open in Current mode. Current mode displays the current styles and style properties that apply to a selection. For example, if you select a paragraph on a page, you can use Current mode to see not only the properties applied to that paragraph (like font, font-size, margin, padding, and so on), but all of the styles that affect that paragraph.
In Current mode, the styles panel is divided into three panes (Figure 8). The top pane, the Summary view, lists all CSS properties that apply to the current element. Due to the rules of CSS, a single element may receive styling instructions for more than one style. For instance, a font applied to the <body> tag is inherited by all tags inside the body, so a particular paragraph on a page may use the font specified for the body. Likewise, more than one rule can apply to the same element; for example, if a page has a paragraph with a class of “copyright” applied to it, that paragraph will receive style information from both a “p” tag style and a class style named “.copyright”. The Summary pane then looks at all the styles applied to an element and figures out exactly which properties apply to it.
Figure 8: The Current view of Dreamweaver’s CSS Styles panel is one of the program’s most valuable features. It lets you quickly determine how an element is styled and which CSS rules are involved.
The middle pane is actually two panes, but the one you want to use is the Cascade view, which is accessed by clicking the cascade button (circled in Figure 8 above). In Cascade view, this pane lists all of the styles that apply to the current element. Even better, the styles are listed in order of specificity. “Specificity” refers to the rules a web browser uses to determine what to do when two styles give conflicting information; for example, one style says “make the text blue” and another style that applies to the same element says “make the text red.” The Cascade pane lists styles from least to most “specific”—in other words; the style listed last is most powerful and will win out when there are any style conflicts.
Finally, the bottom pane, the Properties pane, lists all of the CSS properties of the style highlighted in the middle pane. For example, in Figure 8, the ID style #wrapper is highlighted in the middle pane; the bottom pane, lists the properties defined in that style: background, margin-top, and padding. You can edit style properties in this pane, or double-click the style in the middle pane to open the style in Dreamweaver’s CSS Rule Definition window for editing.
Editing WordPress CSS In Dreamweaver CS5
Now that you know how Dreamweaver’s Inspect mode works, you can use it to edit the styles in a WordPress theme:
1. In Dreamweaver, view the index.php page in Live view. (If you’re not in Live View looking at the blog’s homepage, re-do this article earlier steps.)
2. Click the Inspect button.
3. Mouse over the Site’s title in the top-left of the page (in my example, it’s called “Super Blog”) and click. This selects the headline and highlights the “#site-title a” style in the CSS styles panel (Figure 9).
Figure 9. Use Dreamweaver’s Inspect Mode and the CSS Styles panel to locate and modify the styles that apply to different page elements.
4. Double-click the “#site-title a” style to open Dreamweaver’s CSS Rule Definition window. Change the text color from black to red, and click the OK button. You’ve just updated the headline for the page. (You could make any changes you’d like, such as using a different font, adding a background color, and so on.) Next, you’ll change the background color of that black navigation bar.
5. Click the Inspect button again to turn it on. (Dreamweaver automatically exits Inspect mode when you click on a page element.)
6. Mouse over the black bar with the “Home” and “About” links, then click. Dreamweaver lists some new styles in the CSS styles panel, but the one that’s highlighted doesn’t have a background color.
7. In the Cascade pane of the CSS styles panel, click the style “#access”. You’ll see a black background color listed in the Properties pane. Frequently, the styling you see on an element comes from style higher up in that list, so you may need to click on several styles in the Cascade pane to find the exact style you want to change.
8. Double-click the #access style to open the CSS Rule Definition window. Click the Background category and change the background color to blue. Click OK to close the window.
You can use this basic technique to change all of the formatting for a WordPress site. Simply by going into Inspect mode and clicking on the thing you want to change, Dreamweaver helps locate the styles you want to update.
Navigating Your WordPress Site in Dreamweaver
So far, you’ve been editing the appearance of this blog’s homepage. However, a WordPress blog has many different kinds of pages: a page for a single blog post, a page listing an archive of previous posts, and so on. If you want to edit the styles of a single blog-post page, you can’t simply open a single file. Because WordPress builds pages on the fly, the only way to really see a single blog post is to visit it from the homepage by clicking a link to it.
Fortunately, Dreamweaver CS5 includes a nifty feature that lets you click through your WordPress blog while in Live View. In other words, you can use Dreamweaver like a web browser clicking through a site and analyzing its CSS. Here’s how it works:
1. Turn on Live View (if the Live View button is highlighted blue, then Dreamweaver’s in Live View).
2. Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac) any link on the page. Dreamweaver follows the link and loads the page. If you want to be able to click any link to follow, turn on “Follow Links Continuously” from the Navigation toolbar (Figure 10).
Figure 10: Avoid having to hold down the Ctrl or Command key to follow a link on a page while in Live View. Jst choose “Follow Links Continuously” from the Browser Navigation toolbar. Click the image to see a larger version.
3. Follow the steps in the previous section of this article and use the Inspect mode to inspect the CSS for that page. You can continue this process, clicking a link to see a different type of page (such as an archive) and using the Inspect mode to find and edit the styles that format that type of page. In this way, you can navigate through your WordPress blog and change any or all the styles to match the look you’re after.
As you can see, Dreamweaver provides many useful tools that help you more easily find and change the HTML and CSS of a WordPress site. Completely revamping the look of a theme is still a lot of work—lots of CSS to edit!—but Dreamweaver’s ability to see completely assembled WordPress pages, and analyze and edit the CSS used to format those pages, is a huge time-saver.
In the final article in this series, I’ll take you through the process of moving your local WordPress site from your computer to a live web server for the world to see and enjoy.

WordPress is one of the Web’s most popular applications. It drives not just small, personal blogs, but many large sites as well, such as Entertainment Weekly’s Inside TV and I Can Has Cheezburger. In fact, Web designers have leveraged WordPress’ easy to use content-update tools to provide a complete content-management system for clients. And thanks to the growing list of WordPress plug-ins, you can use it to create e-commerce sites, community portals, classified ad sites, members-only sites, standard small business sites, and nearly any type of Web site you could imagine.
You may have seen an earlier series, “WordPress for Creative Pros,” which does a great job showing you how to set up WordPress on your Web server; create and edit blog posts; and customize the functionality and look of your blog. But when you’re building WordPress-driven sites for you or your clients, you don’t really want the in-progress site on a Web server where all your mistakes, temporary designs, and dummy copy are visible to the world. A better approach is to do all the initial work on your own computer and then upload the finished site to a Web server.
In this series, I’ll show you how to set up WordPress on your own computer, connect Dreamweaver to it, and use Dreamweaver CS5’s powerful new tools for working with WordPress—tools that can make it easier to customize the look of a WordPress site to match your artistic vision. In addition, you’ll learn how to put the finished design up on the Web for the world to see.
An Overview of the Process
Because WordPress is a Web application—dependent on a Web server, the PHP programming language, and a MySQL database—it’s not as easy to work with as a simple collection of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files. Before we dive in, let me give you a broad overview of what you’ll need to do:
1. Set up a local Web server. WordPress won’t work without a Web server. Fortunately, it’s not too hard to install a working Web server—with all the necessary components—on your desktop computer.
2. Set up a database. WordPress keeps its information (including blog posts, Web page content, and all of its settings) in a MySQL database. You need to set up that database before you install WordPress.
3. Download and install WordPress. You’ll grab the WordPress files from the WordPress site and install them on your local Web server. This may sound daunting, but it’s actually simple.
4. Connect Dreamweaver to your WordPress site. For Dreamweaver to work with WordPress, you must set up a new site in Dreamweaver. This isn’t much different than working with a standard HTML site.
5. Customize a WordPress theme. A WordPress site’s appearance is controlled by its theme. A theme is composed of most of the building blocks of any Web site—HTML, CSS, graphic files, JavaScript—with a sprinkling of more complex PHP programming code. By either building your own theme, or by modifying an existing theme, you can make a WordPress site look any way you want.
In this article, I’ll cover the first four steps of this process; in part 2, I’ll take you into the world of theme development; and in the final installment of this series, I’ll walk you through the steps to make your new design live on the Internet.
Set Up AMP
WordPress depends on several server-side technologies. The most common combination is Apache (a Web server), MySQL (a database server), and PHP (a server-side programming language). This trio of powerful tools is often simply called AMP. And while these are complex technologies, getting them set up on a Mac or on Windows is a snap, thanks to free programs that can install them on your computer in a matter of minutes.
For Windows, you’ll want to use WAMP Server. You can download a free installer program from https://www.wampserver.com/en/download.php. For a detailed explanation of the process, watch my free video at https://uptospeedguides.com/wamp.
Mac users have a similar program they can turn to: MAMP. Visit the MAMP homepage and click the “Download now” button; once it’s downloaded, simply drag the MAMP folder to your Applications folder. For a detailed video of the process, go to https://uptospeedguides.com/mamp/.
Set Up the Database
Now that you have a Web server running on your computer, you can add a database for WordPress to use. WAMP and MAMP both include phpMyAdmin, a Web-based tool for managing MySQL databases. Depending on your operating system, you’ll access this program differently:
Windows users should open a Web browser and type https://localhost/phpmyadmin in the location bar to start up phpMyAdmin.
Mac users should open a Web browser and type https://localhost/MAMP/ or https://localhost:8888/MAMP/ to open the main control page. Click the phpMyAdmin that appears in the top of the screen.
Either way, the phpMyAdmin page appears (Figure 1).
Figure 1: Using phpMyAdmin, you can add a MySQL database in just one step. Click the figure to see a larger version.
Now you create a new database:
1. In the Create New Database field (circled in Figure 1) type the name for the WordPress database. This could be something as simple as “wordpress,” “blog,” or the name of your site, but avoid spaces and punctuation marks—sticks to letters, numbers, hyphens or the underscore character.
2. Click the Create button. phpMyAdmin tells MySQL to create the new database.
Next, you need to create a new MySQL user. A user is just an account that can access the database; this user has the privileges needed to change the database: add, delete, edit information, and alter the basic structure of the database. WordPress will use this user account to talk to MySQL, so that WordPress can add, read, and edit the data it needs to function.
3. Click the Privileges button in the top row of buttons on the phpMyAdmin page.
4. Click the Add New User link. The Add a New User screen appears (Figure 2).
Figure 2: WordPress won’t be able to talk to the database until you create a new MySQL user account. Click the figure to see a larger version.
5. Type a user name. This can be something simple like “admin”.
6. From the Host menu, choose Local. The Web page adds “localhost” to the text box to the right of the menu. This option tells MySQL that the new user you’re about to create can only communicate to MySQL locally. In other words, only code running on the same computer as MySQL—such as WordPress’ files running on the Web server—can use this account. This acts as a security precaution and is intended to prevent someone—like a hacker—from connecting to this MySQL account from another computer and ruining the database. (It isn’t really necessary in this case, since it’s unlikely anyone is going to try to hack into your home computer and mess up your MySQL database; but on a live Web server, this is a good step to take.)
7. Type a password in the Password text field; then type the same password in the Re-Type field. This password doesn’t have to be completely obscure, since you’re only creating this account on your local computer. Write down this password because you’ll need it in a minute to set up WordPress. (When you’re ready to make your new WordPress design live, you’ll set up WordPress again on your Web server. That’s when you’ll definitely want a secure password.)
8. Make sure the Grant All Privileges on Database is selected (circled in Figure 2 above). This setting is important. It lets this new user account talk to the database you created earlier.
9. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Go button. phpMyAdmin creates the new user, but you’re not quite done. The user isn’t active until you reload the database’s privileges.
10. Click the Privileges button at the top of the screen once again, and scroll to the bottom of the screen. In the yellow box, click the Reload the Privileges link.
Download and Install WordPress
Now that you’ve set up the server, you’re ready to install WordPress. Fortunately, this is easy.
In your Web browser, visit https://wordpress.org. Make sure you visit .org and not .com. Click the Download WordPress button to go to the Download page; click the Download WordPress button again to save the WordPress files to your computer.
Once the files are on your computer, you need to move them to the Web server. Where you place them depends on whether you’re using WAMP or MAMP, and exactly how you want to use WordPress.
On Windows, WAMP’s Web server files are in C:wampwww. That folder is the local root folder for the server, and Web files you put there are accessed in a Web browser with https://localhost/.
On Macs, MAMP’s Web files go in Applications : MAMP : htdocs. You place your files in this folder and access them with https://localhost/ (or https://localhost:8888/).
NOTE FOR MAC USERS: I sometimes tell MAMP users to type https://localhost or https://localhost:8888/ . That’s because MAMP starts off life using a port number—:8888—to run the Web server under, so to access the site in a Web browser you must type https://localhost:8888/. You can get rid of the port number and just use https://localhost. See the video at https://uptospeedguides.com/mamp/ for more information.
Depending on how you’ll use WordPress, you may want to have the WordPress files in a subfolder. Some Web sites have a blog that’s separate from the main site, and this blog is often accessed via a subdirectory like https://www.my-site.com/blog/. If you plan on using WordPress only for the blog, copy the WordPress folder you downloaded into either C:wampwww or Applications : MAMP : htdocs . Then rename the folder to something like “blog.”
Alternatively, you might use WordPress to drive the entire site; if, for example, you’re creating a blog-only site, or you want to use WordPress to manage everything including the homepage, About Us page, and so on. If that’s the case, copy all of the files inside the WordPress folder you downloaded into the C:wampwww or Applications : MAMP : htdocs folder.
For this article, I’ll create a blog as a subsection of the site, so I’ll move the WordPress folder to the local root folder (C:wampwww or Applications : MAMP : htdocs) and rename it “blog.”
Now you’re ready to install WordPress:
1. Launch a Web browser and type https://localhost/blog . This takes you to a message that tells you that you don’t have a WordPress configuration file yet, and offers to create it for you.
2. Click the Create a Configuration File button. This takes you to another message with more details on the set-up process.
3. Click the Let’s Go button. On the page that appears, type the name of the database you created earlier, the name of the MySQL user you created, and that MySQL user’s password. You can skip the other two settings.
4. Click Submit, and then on the page that appears click the Run the Install button. A page will appear asking you to provide a few more bits of information (Figure 3).
Figure 3: WordPress’s Installation process requires a few pieces of information. Click the figure to see a larger version.
5. In the Site Title field, type the name of the site. This name will appear as part of the site, so the name can be the name of the site (if you’re using WordPress to manage an entire site), or the name of the blog (if you’re creating a blog part of your site). You can also change this name later in WordPress’ control panel.
6. In the Username field, type a name for the administrator of the site. This username is different than the MySQL user. This is the name you’ll use to log into WordPress to add and edit content. By default, WordPress suggests “admin”, but you can change this to your name or something else.
7. Type the password, twice. This is the password you’ll use to log into WordPress. Remember this password.
8. Type your e-mail address in the Your E-mail field. This isn’t that useful for a local installation of WordPress. However, when you install WordPress on your real live Web server in part two of this series, the e-mail address will be useful.
9. Click the Install WordPress button. After a few moments, you’ll see a “Success!” message. You’re done; WordPress is installed.
10. Click the Login button and log in using the username you created in step 6 and the password you chose in step 7. Now you’ll see the WordPress dashboard. You can learn more about how to use the dashboard in “WordPress for Creative Pros.”
Set Up Dreamweaver
Now that you’ve successfully installed a Web server, database server, and WordPress—I hope you’re feeling proud—it’s time to start up Dreamweaver and get it ready to work with your new WordPress site.
1. Launch Dreamweaver CS5. If you have an earlier version of Dreamweaver, these instructions aren’t going to work. Not only did the site setup process change in CS5, but all of the tools that I’ll be demonstrating are new in CS5.
2. Choose Site > New Site. The Site Setup window appears (Figure 4).
Figure 4: Setting up a site is the most important first step in using Dreamweaver to build a site; and it’s absolutely required when working with a server-side site like a WordPress blog. Click the figure to see a larger version.
3. Type a name in the Site Name field. This can be anything you want and can match the name you provided when setting up WordPress.
4. Click the Folder icon and navigate to and select the local root folder. On Windows this is C:wampwww; on Macs this is Applications : MAMP : htdocs. For a regular site, this is normally all you need to do to get started building HTML pages; but because you’re using WordPress you also need to provide Dreamweaver a few more details.
5. Select the Servers category in the left sidebar of the Site Setup window. Here you can provide the information Dreamweaver needs to connect to your live Web server and transfer files from your computer to it. But you can also tell Dreamweaver about your “testing server”—the local Web server you set up—so that it can work with dynamic files (meaning PHP files).
6. Click the + button to create a new server. A new window appears (Figure 5).
Figure 5: When you’re working with a local Web server, you need to tell Dreamweaver where the files for your local Web server are located.
7. In the Server Name field, type “local”. Choose Local/Network from the Connect Using menu. The name doesn’t matter; it can be anything. However, choosing Local/Network is important—it tells Dreamweaver that the Web server you’re interested in is on your computer.
8. Click the Folder icon to the right of the Server Folder field and select the local root folder. On Windows this is C:wampwww; on Macs this is Applications : MAMP : htdocs.
9. In the Web URL field type https://localhost/. (On Macs, you may need to type https://localhost:8888/ as I described in the note above).
10. Click the Save button to exit this window and return to the main Site Setup window (Figure 6).
Figure 6: When you have a Web server running on your own computer and want to use it for testing your site, make sure you tell Dreamweaver about it in the Site Setup process. Click the figure to see a larger version.
11. Uncheck the Remote checkbox and check the Testing box. You check the Remote box when you want to connect to the live Web server and upload files to it. You check the Testing box when you have set up a local Web server for testing dynamic, server-side sites.
12. Click the Save button. Dreamweaver reads all the files in the site and displays them in the Files panel.
Finally, Preview the Blog
Now you’ve set up Dreamweaver and can open the main WordPress file and preview it:
1. In Dreamweaver’s Files Panel, locate the file index.php inside the folder in which you placed WordPress files. For example, if you created a folder named “blog” in the site’s root folder, locate the blog folder, and double-click the index.php file. However, if you put all of the WordPress files in the site’s root folder (because you wanted to use WordPress to manage all of your site), locate and open the index.php file in the site’s root.
2. In Dreamweaver, click the Live View button (circled in Figure 7). Live View lets you preview a page as it would appear in a Web browser. For a PHP-driven page like WordPress files, Live View actually views the Web page through the Web server, processing all of the necessary programming code to make the page appear as it should.
Figure 7: Dreamweaver’s Live View lets you preview a page directly from a local testing Web server. Click the figure to see a larger version.
Wow! That was a lot of work, but you’ve set up all the necessary technologies to get started building a WordPress site. In the next article, we’ll dive into how WordPress works, look at how you can use Dreamweaver to work with WordPress, and customize the look and feel of your WordPress site.
So far in this series, you’ve learned how to set up a working copy of WordPress on your desktop computer and then how to modify a WordPress theme to customize its appearance. Now for the last part of the puzzle: getting your WordPress site from your local testing machine to your Web server for all the world to see.
Unfortunately, the process isn’t quite as straightforward as copying the files from your computer to a Web server, and the exact steps will depend on a few things:
• Do you already have WordPress installed on your server?
• Do you want to put your new design up on the Web and have your client begin adding content to the site?
• When designing your WordPress site, did you also add content such as blog posts and pages that you want to move to your Web server?
I’ll address all of these scenarios, but first, let’s make sure WordPress is up and running on your Web server.
Installing WordPress on the Server
If WordPress is already installed on your Web server, skip to the next section of this article, “Uploading a Custom Theme”. But, if you need to install WordPress on your server, keep in mind that you can’t just copy your WordPress files onto the Web server and expect them to work. Because WordPress depends on a database, you need to do two things before copying the WordPress files from your computer to your Web server:
1. Set up a database on your Web server. This process varies between Web hosting companies, so contact your hosting company and ask how to set up a database on your particular Web server. You’ll need a database name, as well as a database username and password.
2. Edit the wp-config.php file in the WordPress folder on your local computer. This configuration file was created when you installed WordPress in the first part of this series. You can open the configuration file in any text editor.
You’ll need to add the database name, username, and password to this file. To add the database name to the configuration file, look for code like define('DB_NAME', 'new_blog'); . In this example, you’d change ‘new_blog’ to the name you supplied for your database.
To add the database user name to the configuration file, search for for code like define('DB_USER', 'blog_admin'); . In this example, you’d change ‘blog_admin’ to the name of the database user.
To add the database user password to the configuration file, look for code like define('DB_PASSWORD', '12345'); . In this example, you’d change ‘12345’ to the password of the database user.
You may also need to change the MySQL hostname in this configuration file. Many Web hosting companies run a MySQL server on the same computer as the Web server—just like MAMP and WAMP work on your desktop computer. However, some hosting companies run MySQL on a separate computer with its own hostname. If that’s the case, change this line of code: define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); . Replace ‘localhost’ with the hostname provided by your Web hosting company. It might look something like db2.hostingcompany.com, or simply be an IP address like 65.33.221.11. If you don’t know whether your Web host uses a different computer, try ‘localhost’; if that doesn’t work, contact your Web hosting company.
Once you change the wp-config.php file, you can move all of the WordPress files from your local computer to your Web server using an FTP program. If your entire site is going to be run with WordPress, put the WordPress files in the root folder on the Web server. If the blog is separate from your Web site (https://you.com/blog/, for example), put the WordPress files in a folder inside your Web server’s root folder (for example, in the blog folder).
Once the files are online, launch a Web browser and visit the blog home page. Go through the basic configuration steps discussed in the first article: Provide a name for the blog, an admin username and password, and your e-mail address.
You’ll also need to turn on your theme, which I’ll cover in the section “Activating a Custom Theme” later in this article.
Uploading a Custom Theme
Once WordPress is installed on your Web server, you’ll want to put your design online. Fortunately, that’s a simple matter of locating the files you need to transfer from your desktop computer and to your Web server.
As I mentioned in Part 2, theme files are stored inside the themes folder inside the wp-content folder. On Windows, themes are in C:wampwwwblogwp-contentthemes . On Macs themes are in Applications:MAMP:htdocs:blog:wp-content:themes.
Inside this folder you’ll find your theme folder—if you followed the tutorial in the previous article, you should have a creativepro folder containing a customized design. Move this entire folder to the copy of WordPress on your Web server. Put your theme folder in the wp-content/themes folder on your Web server.
Activating a Custom Theme
Now that your theme is in place on the server, you must activate it. That’s true even when you copy all of the WordPress files from your local computer to the server. Because WordPress keeps information about its setup (such as which theme is active, the name of the site, installed plugins, and so on) in the database, you need to activate the theme on the Web server using WordPress’ admin panel.
1. Go to your Web browser and visit the WordPress admin panel on your Web server. For example, if your Web site is at https://my-site.com, then the admin panel is located at https://my-site.com/wp-admin.php. (If the blog is in a subdirectory then make sure you include that directory in the URL: https://my-site.com/blog/wp-admin.php, for example).
2. You may need to login using the name and password you used when setting up WordPress. You should now see WordPress’ dashboard.
3. In the left navigation bar, click the Appearance button. This takes you to the Manage Themes page. You’ll notice that your newly uploaded theme appears.
4. Click the Activate link below the theme you uploaded. That theme is now listed at the top of the page as the new active theme.
At this point, your new site is active and you or your client can begin blogging and adding content. (See Part 1 for help on posting blog entries with WordPress.)
Moving Content from One WordPress Installation to Another
If you added content (for example, blog posts or additional WordPress pages) to your local copy of WordPress, you’ll want to move that to your Web server as well. Unfortunately, a MySQL database isn’t a regular file like a Web page, JPEG image, or Flash movie—you can’t just copy it to your Web server and expect it to work.
While it is possible to export a MySQL database from one computer and import it to another, this usually won’t work with a WordPress database. because some local settings in the desktop version of your database won’t match settings on your Web server. Happily, WordPress provides an easy-to-use tool to export and import blog content. You can export all blog posts, pages, user comments, navigation menus, and other content you’ve already added.
To export content from your local copy of WordPress, take the following steps:
1. Go to your Web browser and visit the WordPress admin panel on desktop computer; for example, https://localhost/wp-admin.php. (If the blog is in a subdirectory, make sure you include that directory in the URL: https://localhost/blog/wp-admin.php, for example).
2. You may need to login using the name and password you chose when setting up WordPress. You should now see the WordPress dashboard.
3. In the left navigation bar, click the Tools button to expose the Tools submenu, then click the Export button. The Export page appears (Figure 1).
Figure 1. Back up all your WordPress content with the Export tool. Click the image below to see a larger version.
4. Click the Download Export File button. Your Web browser will then download an XML file. The file’s name will be the name of your blog, with the current date: superblog.wordpress.2011-05-10.xml, for example. This is the file you’ll import to your Web server.
To import content to your WordPress blog, you’ll need to add the WordPress import plugin, and then import the XML file you downloaded earlier. Here’s how:
1. Open a Web browser, visit https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-importer/, and click the download button. You’ll have a wordpress-importer folder on your computer.
2. Using an FTP program, transfer this folder to your Web server. Place the folder inside the wp-content/plugins folder.
3. Using a Web browser, visit the WordPress admin panel on your Web server. For example, if your Web site is at https://my-site.com, then the admin panel is located at https://my-site.com/wp-admin.php. (If the blog is in a subdirectory, include that directory in the URL: https://my-site.com/blog/wp-admin.php, for instance).
4. You may need to login using the name and password you used when setting up WordPress. You should now see WordPress’ dashboard.
5. In the left navigation bar, click the Plugins button. This takes you to the Plugins page, which lists all available plugins. You need to activate a plugin to make it work.
6. In the list of plugins, locate the WordPress Importer plugin and click the Activate link. Now you can import content to the site.
7. Click the Tools link in the left-hand navigation bar. Click the Import link, then choose WordPress option. The Import WordPress page opens (Figure 2).
Figure 2. Importing WordPress content. Click the image below to see a larger version.
8. Click the Choose File button and find the XML file you imported from your local copy of WordPress. Click the Upload File and Import button.
9. You’ll be asked to assign authors to any content you upload. You can create new users with a new name, or you can choose an existing user. For example, say you had a user named “Bob” on your local setup and used that account to create several blog posts. When you upload that content to the Web server, you can create a new user named Bob, or choose a user from the “existing user” drop-down menu.
10. Click the Submit button. WordPress uploads the content to the database and presents you with a message that the upload is completed.
At this point, the Web server should have your new design and all of the content you created during the development phase. Now you or your client can use the WordPress Admin panel on the Web server to add more content. Note that you can always use the Export feature from the Admin panel to make a backup of your Web site’s content. That’s a wise precaution, worthy doing every week to make sure a server problem doesn’t wipe out your finely crafted Web site.
After moving the site to the Web server, you can keep the local copy around for continued design and development. For instance, you can tweak the CSS on the local copy, or alter the theme files as you learn more about how WordPress works and want to add functionality to the site. You’ll only need to upload the theme folder (or even just the individual files you change in that theme folder, such as the style.css file) to have those changes take effect on the Web site.
While there are certainly a lot of details to keep in mind when working with WordPress, its flexibility and power makes it a powerful tool for Web designers who wish to offer their clients a complete content management solution.
