  This tutorial is for setting up WordPress in Laragon so you can test patches from WordPress Trac.

  Prerequisite: you'll need Laragon WAMP, not just Laragon Portable. You'll need to run node and npm.

  Create Development Site

  Video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/12Y-7QRUpA6V1207fCDvxxG6kmgyRipY0/view

  Open Laragon. Click Menu -> Quick App -> Blank. Name it "wpdev" Click "Terminal", and in the terminal type git clone git@github.com:WordPress/wordpress-develop.git wpdev and then enter (or git clone https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop.git wpdev and enter your GitHub username and password) Copy {laragon}/www/wpdev/wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php, and enter change the database name to be wpdev, and user to be root, with blank password Still in terminal, type cd wpdev, enter, then npm install && grunt build If using nginx, find{laragon}/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/auto.wpdev.conf (if using apache, use that instead) and remove auto. from its name. In that file, find the line that starts with root (or sometimes define ROOT), and add build/ onto it. In laragon, click "Stop All" and "Start All'. Now your copy of the development version of WordPress should be running at wpdev.test. Apply Patches Find the ticket from trac.wordpress.org that you want to apply, and take note of its ticket number From {laragon}/www/wpdev/, run grunt patch:{ticket-number}. Eg if you wanted to apply the first patch from [Trac ticket 43443](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/43443), you would typegrunt patch:43443`, and then it would ask you which one of the uploaded patches you'd like to apply. After applying the patch, you should run grunt build again (to re-sync the changes made to the src directory to the build directory) When you're all done testing and want to undo the patch, run git checkout .
  See https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/tutorials/working-with-patches/#applying-a-patch for more information.

  Re: How to Easily Change a WordPress theme using Laragon

  Hi, Please help. I have followed this video in order to change the theme on my website. All has worked great until I needed to Save my Permalink Settings on my local duplicate site. I then discover that my login details are not recognised. I repeated the process and had the same luck. Both duplicate sites are saved to Laragon, but neither recognise my login information. Thank you soo much in advance for your help.

  With Laragon, you can add another PHP version easily.
  https://forum.laragon.org/topic/166/tutorial-how-to-add-another-php-version

  However, Laragon will use the default settings come with PHP zip file. In case, you want to use your php.ini settings, do the followings:

  Put your preferred php.ini settings in usr\tpl\php.ini.tpl When running, Laragon will check if there is a php.ini in your PHP folder (PHP_PATH). If not, it will use the usr\tpl\php.ini.tpl: copy to PHP_PATH\php.ini and also correct all wrong paths (such as extension_dir).

  Setup WordPress Multisite with xip.io or nip.io

  xip.io and nip.io allow you to have a subdomain multisite WordPress site without needing to add a DNS entry to your hosts file for every subsite.
  Here's how:

  Create a new WordPress site using Laragon's Quick App. Let's say your new site's name is "mysite.test" Install WP CLI Open Laragon's Terminal and run wp search-replace "mysite.test" "mysite.127.0.0.1.nip.io" --all-tables (or you could set it to xip.io, I haven't seen any difference). Rename laragon/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/auto.mysite.test.conf to mysite.test.conf, and change server name line to server_name mysite.127.0.0.1.nip.io *.mysite.127.0.0.1.nip.io; (or if you're using Apache, change the ServerName to be mysite.127.0.0.1.nip.io and ServerAlias to be *.mysite.127.0.0.1.nip.io). In Laragon, click "Stop All" and then "Start All". Visit mysite.127.0.0.1.nip.io. It should be your site. Enable WordPress multisite, choosing the "sub-domain" option.

  Now you can create any subdomain you want on your site, without ever needing to touch your hosts file again. Enjoy!

  """WordPress is famous for its "5-minute quick install," but using the Laragon's "Quick app" feature you can do it in less than 2 minutes"""
  Source: Best WAMP Server for Local WordPress – Laragon is Easy by David McCan

  Some images:

  Laragon is downloading & extracting data...
  

  Laragon can handle 7z, tar.gz, zip or composer. Believe or not, Laragon can create a Laravel project in LESS THAN A MINUTE. Just try it: Menu > Quick app > Laravel 7z

  Laragon comes with some pre-defined projects. You can put another projects easily yourself. Just click Menu > Quick app > Configuration and edit the configuration file.

  The file is: {LARAGON_ROOT}\usr\sites.conf

  With Laragon, adding Golang is very easy.

  1.Download Golang zip package (suppose you want to use Golang 1.10.3 64-bit):
  https://dl.google.com/go/go1.10.3.windows-amd64.zip

  Extract the downloaded to: C:\laragon\bin\go\go.1.10.3 (If there is no go dir in bin, just create it and you can set name go.1.10 if you prefer) C:\laragon -- bin -- go -- go1.10.3 -- ............. Close Laragon, then open it again (to refresh the Menu). Select the version at: Laragon Menu > Go > Version > go1.10.3

  Now, open Terminal (Ctrl - Alt - T) and type:

  go version

  you should see something like that: go version go1.10.3 windows/amd64

  Congrats! Your Laragon now has Golang!
  Very easy huh. That's all forks!

  [Tutorial] How to install Laravel 5.5 (dev-develop) & Laravel Horizon

  Open Terminal (Menu > Laragon > Terminal), then

  Install Laravel 5.5: composer create-project laravel/laravel horizon dev-develop cd horizon php artisan serve

  Now, open a new Terminal's Tab (Ctrl + T), then
  2. Install Horizon:
  Note: Horizon needs the pcntl extension so you must add it to your PHP's extension first: https://forum.laragon.org/topic/593/how-to-add-pcntl-extension-windows

  composer require laravel/horizon php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Laravel\Horizon\HorizonServiceProvider" php artisan horizon

  Olala, you can access the beautiful dashboard of Horizon at:
  http://localhost:8000/horizon

  Of course, you can use the pretty url (after reloading Apache/Nginx) with laragon reload:
  http://horizon.dev/horizon

  Ref: https://github.com/laravel/horizon

  Ghostscript Setup for ImageMagick?

  I followed the instructions in Re: [Tutorial] How to install Imagick to install and activate ImageMagick, and that worked great. But although I have Ghostscript installed on my Windows machine (and even tried copying the \gs\ directory into laragon\bin), the WordPress plugin that requires Imagick and Ghostscript gives me an error saying "Ghostscript is not supported."

  I find the "How to Install Ghostscript" instructions pretty confusing, since the Windows installation didn't seem to help and I have no idea whether the Unix/Linux instructions are appropriate. (After all, we used the Windows files for Imagick...)

  I'd really appreciate it if someone could tell me how to get Ghostscript set up to work with Laragon.

  Thanks!
  Sallie
