Getting all the websites files on a pc?

How do you copy all the files from a website from wordpress onto my pc please? Any help much appreciated. Dez

First, you probably will want your own localhost server. With Apache, MySQL and PHP installed, either separately or in a package like WAMP, you can then recreate the website in the htdocs folder, open a browser to http://localhost and test changes before having them go live.

Simply a matter of FTP-ing the live site into the htdocs folder for the files.

The database is trickier. You may need to get a “dump”, i.e. a backup, and then import it into your localhost database.

As the live site’s URL won’t be “localhost” you can either have a “clean and new” localhost database, or do some virtual server magic in Apache to use the live site’s content. I’m not sure how this would pan out in practice, I’ve always used a different db and it’s let me test things adequately for my needs.

Do you mean you want to run WordPress locally, or do you want to download all WP files (core, plugins, themes etc) and databases from a remote server?
