 So, today I'm going to check out something new, I've been using Wordpress since 2011. That's about 7-8 years now and there's something that came out just last year towards the end. Classic Press released version 1 over the airsoftware and this is meant to be something that's focused with the business community. Let's say if you use your blog for making some money, if you use it for e-commerce and version 1 has been really stable having forked Wordpress 4.9 so this doesn't have any good handbag in it, it doesn't have the blog editor for what you call it so I'm going to show you how you can download this and use it maybe on your local server. So what you need to do is just download Classic Press from the website and this takes us to where you can download Classic Press and then finally it takes you to GitHub and the GitHub repo all you need to do is just scroll down to the source code and just hit the Classic Press version so we are ready to download this so we see it's a Classic Press version 1.01 just a few changes, minor changes were added to version 1 just to include security and so we have our download ready right here so what I'm going to do is just head over to my local server, my local server in the htdocs I'm going to get a version 1 of Classic Press right here and then just copy it over. So the next thing that I'm going to is extract this so I'll unzip this and it's going to give me a folder which I'm just going to call gallery for now. I'm going to be creating our plugin called gallery so when you go into the gallery you have the same old file structure as what Press had WP content includes admin and of course you have your plugins and themes inside there but for now there's nothing in the plugins folder because there's no jetpack and there's no halo doli plugins coming with Classic Press and in the themes the default themes that we had that is 2015 2017 2016 from what Press have been forked over and then child themes of Classic Press have been made from those so if you go into the backend you're going to be able to see that and of course all the other files that we do need like the sample config file is right there so what I'm going to do is I'm going to go to my localhost and go to the phpmyadmin so when I go into the phpmyadmin in the databases I'm just going to create a database and call it gallery and then once that is ready all I need to do is now access my URL on the local server and I'll hit the gallery point and we are ready so these are the few languages that have been translated with Classic Press and you can contribute to this by going over to Classic Press and finding out how to help out so I'll just hit continue and then right here I'm just going to change this to gallery because that's my database I have my root and root as my basic password and username then I'll leave this at your localhost then I'll leave the prefix at this and then I'll just continue right here so once I'm done here I'm going to just call this light book gallery I'm going to give this a username of just gallery and I'll just use something that is hidden for my local password I'll use confirm and then I'll just add a simple email and then I'll just click to install Classic Press on my local server and this gives me a green light we're ready to go and I'm just going to login for gallery to see what's happening inside Classic Press once I'm logged in you realize that it's same build as what you had with WordPress it functions well it functions stable you see there is a little welcome notice and you can see what Classic Press is all about how they are thinking about introducing and growing the community and then the security releases is that are coming through credits and freedoms and privacy and whatever goodness is there a few things that have changed from what we had as WordPress we see we still have the quick draft under glance but we have something here called Classic Press New so you can read more of the stories coming through and I see something here called Classic Press Petitions remember I told you that Classic Press is really built on a foundation of being community centered so there is a lot of democracy that is being founded so you can see some of the topics that most people have been sharing and feel like these need to actually be going into the core so you can see those that have got the best votes so far they have been upticked all through so if you click on one let's say this you'll find greater details about that particular post so you'll see the discussions going on from a number of people and you can also post your own petition by signing in and then starting up a topic of discussion however you will see that these have been planned and scheduled for for what to work to start right now Classic Press is on 5.6 as a minimum PHP version but they look forward to making 7.0 or later of PHP version as the minimum Classic Press also would like to focus on security so by bumping up the PHP version we see that a lot is going to go into security fixes when the PHP version is raised so these are some of the things that are in Classic Press but everything else just looks the same the functionality is the same we see everything is just going on right so you have the themes you can actually switch them if you want to and those still reflect so if we go na front end we'll be able to see the same old good old software that we once knew and it's good and ready for usage so this is Classic Press feel free to try it out I'm going to be working with us on a plugin that I want to test and see if what we've always had as functionality is still going on so check out Classic Press go download it if you have Classic Press you can also combat your Classic Press from your Classic Press to Classic Press and I'll be showing you how to do that in the next video that's coming up
