WampServer

So I installed localhost using WAMP server, but it is not working as expected.

I copied Custom Post Type plugin (directory with movie.php file) that I created using register_post_type, but the plugin doesn't show up in Dashboard. However, the plugin worked well on my live site, so it is written correctly. The same happens with child theme. What have I missed?

I think It may come from wrong url in header of plugin. I changed it after copying in localhost directory but I`m not sure that it is correct.
/*
Plugin Name: Products
Plugin URI: [localhost]
Description: Declares a plugin that will create a custom post type displaying movies
Version: 1.0
Author: Kārlis Janisels
Author URI: [localhost]
*/
What is right url to my localhost if the path to my WP directory is C:/wamp/www/tests ?

Hi


I assume we are probably talking about a WordPress site, is that correct?

WordPress works best when you create a Virtual Host for it to run in.

Hi,

As RiggsFolly wrote, you must use VirtualHost and especially for a web application like Wordpress: The need for Virtual Host

> Plugin URI: 'http://localhost:8383/wordpress/'
Why do you use the 8383 port?
