One suggestion....find your hosting company first, and them make your development machine (VM?) match what they provide.

Working out those kinks saves lots of time in the future. Mark On Sat, Jun 13, 2015 at 8:57 AM, Stephen Partington wrote: > There is a great deal on wordpress both in print and online.
