Hi,

I need to do a website for myself, I have no idea on webdesign but I've found a nice theme for wordpresss that I'd like to use. Is it possible with wordpress to work offline and then upload the website when it is finished or does it have to be done from the hosting site?

Thanks

Jase
 
The only issue you will run in to doing that is that when it comes to migrating the site to the live site you will have to make sure to change the Wordpress and Site addresses in the Wordpress->Settings->General admin section.

When you operate the site locally these will be set to something like 'http://localhost:8888/mytestsite', you will have to change them to the remote location address so that your wordpress installation knows where the files are, i.e. 'http://mytestsite.com'

The easiest way to do this is just before you upload the site, go to the settings, change these values and then upload.

If you want to continue using the local version you could adjust the settings back to the local address by editing the required values in the database table 'wp_options' using phpMyAdmin or some other sql management tool.
