- InstantWP is a complete standalone, portable WordPress development environment. webtoolsgroup/InstantWP.
- InstantWP is a free Bootstrap WordPress theme with a custom homepage and portfolio layout. This theme is a great fit for a freelance website or a small agency looking to run a blog and display their latest work. This WordPress theme has some great features with a nice look and feel.
- With InstantWP you also get phpMyAdmin with a pre-configured MySQL database. By default the username is “ root ” and the password is left blank. During the process of migrating the site to a real server you will be asked to provide the username, password and hostname of your webhost’s database.
To get started, just run the download file and it'll extract its various components into your preferred folder. Currently this includes WordPress, Apache, PHP and MySQL, but don't worry, they're all portable and won't otherwise install anything else on your PC.
Launch Instant WordPress and a simple console points you in the right direction. Click 'WordPress Admin' to launch WordPress itself, for instance. You can open your Plugins and Themes folders in a click, and administer your MySQL setup, while clicking WordPress Frontpage will display your dummy site. There are even built-in posts and comments so you can get a feel for the look of a new theme right away.
One issue here is that, although Instant WordPress is regularly updated with new versions of its components, they're always going to be a little out of date. And the Instant WordPress developers themselves point out that the program 'is not suitable for live websites and should only be used for testing and development'.
Still, if you'd like an easier way to test a WordPress setup - or maybe you're a total WordPress beginner and want to get a basic feel for how it all works - then Instant WordPress is perfectly adequate, and well worth the download.
