Our Verdict
Ideal for both beginners and advanced developers looking to learn installing and moving WordPress sites, the course provides detailed explanations and addresses various exceptions that might occur. The instructor demonstrates commendable attentiveness to students' questions on discussion boards. However, some technical knowledge is assumed, potentially causing minor compatibility challenges for iMac users and requiring further clarification in a few sections.
What We Liked
- Covers all necessary steps for setting up a local WordPress environment with detailed explanations
- Effective in solving a major pain point of moving a website from localhost to online web host and back
- Useful even for advanced users, addressing various exceptions and solutions that might occur during the process
- Andrew Williams is praised for his attentiveness to details, clear explanations and responsiveness on the discussion board
Potential Drawbacks
- Some students faced local issues related to previous installations of Apache, MySQL and PHP not covered in the course
- The course assumes some technical knowledge and can be fast-paced at times. It might require going over certain sections multiple times
- Minor compatibility issues with iMacs (lack of clarification regarding tools like cPanel or wp-migrate plugin)
- Instructions for finding and copying files on Mac OS could be more generic and clear for non-technical users
