JumpIn Instructions

To jump in and start using the exercise files for this chapter, make sure you've:

1. Followed the procedures in Chapter 1 to install your development environment, including a web server, PHP, MySQL and WordPress
2. Created a Dreamweaver site in a web server root folder called "DW_WP_Themes".
3. Installed WordPress with a database named "dw_wp_themes".
4. Copy the "custom" folder found in the JumpIn directory to the wp-content/themes/ in your site.

Finally, you'll need to import the database content into the WordPress database by following these steps:

1. In a browser, open up the WordPress administration by going to http://localhost/DW_WP_Themes/wp-admin/ and log in.
2. Expand Tools in the left-side navigation and choose Import.
3. From the Import screen, click WordPress.
4. On the Import WordPress screen, click Browse and select the XML file in the JumpIn folder for the current chapter.
5. Click Upload File and Import.
6. On the next screen, keep the Import Author option as-is and select the Download and import file attachments option. Click Submit.
7. You may get a message that several files already exist; it's safe to ignore this message.

All done! You're ready to work along side the instructor in the current chapter.
