如何使用MAMP实时预览PHP

Question

I am creating a WP theme (for personal use only) and I need to be able to preview PHP files.

Here's where I'm at so far: I use Adobe's Brackets. I have a server on Bluehost. I have downloaded FileZilla and linked it to my bluehost server. I have created a directory on my bluehost server: /public_html/wp-content/themes/Cookie I have downloaded an FTP Sync extension in Brackets, and synced it to the root directory of my theme (/public_html/wp-content/themes/Cookie). I have installed MAMP on my mac (although never used it and have no idea what to do next).

I have contact Adobe Brackets and they have said this: "If you have a MAMP (or other PHP server) set up, you just need to change the File->Project Settings"

But I have no idea what to do now I have downloaded MAMP.

As you can probably tell, I'm a bit of a noob so please explain things delicately :)

Thanks in advance!!!!

Answer 1

download Wordpress from wordpress.org, install it locally on your MAMP, it shoud have a folder called www or data, reading the docs is recommended. Then, download your theme from your hosting and to the wp-content/themes/ folder, now start a new project, it's gonna be easier.

When your theme is ready, upload it to the server again.

Hope this helps.
