Adrián Mejía – WordPress Contribution Project

In this stage of the project, I prepared the development environment required to test and validate WordPress Core functionality.

To achieve this, I set up a local WordPress installation that allowed me to safely experiment without affecting a live site. This environment included a local server where I could run WordPress and modify its files directly.

During this process, I explored different methods for running WordPress locally, including development tools provided for contributors. Initially, I attempted to use an automated environment setup, but encountered issues during the initialization process.

As a result, I proceeded with a manual setup using a code editor and a local server environment. This approach allowed me to directly access and modify WordPress Core files, which was necessary for testing the specific behavior described in the assigned ticket.

Setting up the local environment was an essential step, as it provided full control over the system and enabled me to replicate real scenarios for debugging and testing purposes.
