Good tutorial, friendly host. Some of the content does not match current conditions though, since WPlocal has updated and the video is a few years old.

Timestamps: 10:45 The explanation of WordPress.com vs WordPress.org is a little confusing. "dot-com" is remote, distributed and free as a subdomain but not as only a domain. "dot-org" is open-source and fully free is the way I understood it. 13:00 "to run wordpress locally..." It would be nice to know what is XAMPP and why choose that one over the others? 14:22 The screenshot of WPlocal is not the same. I was not sure where do I open the local app and get to the dashboard until I realized I need to turn on "One-click admin." 15:32 Advanced options no longer apply. 17:55 The "edit post" link is now at the top. 26:00 I don't think the menu is an option anymore. It looks like WP is creating pages just generates them on its own. 27:00 It's unclear where the secondary menu went from appearances; I could get it from "appearance/editor/templateparts/footerpatterns/footers" though. 30:50 there are only three themes, no "popular" option.

The content referenced is from 2021, and will probably get deprecated when we launch the new learning pathways. So editing this tutorial for updates won't make sense.
