Instant WordPress Free Portable Development or Testing

Posted by Ellis Benus21/06/2012 0 Comments

Instant WordPress is a free downloadable file which creates a portable WordPress environment.

Instant WordPress doesn’t “install” but simply extracts to a folder either on your local hard drive OR on a portable USB thumb drive.

To open Instant WordPress, you simply click on the excecutable (Instant WordPress.exe) file and a loading screen pops up. This process starts the built in web server which will run your WordPress installation, and sets up everything you need to get started.

A handy start screen window (shown below) pops up, allowing for easy one click access to everywhere in your WordPress installation.
