    Trying to install WordPress locally using WAMP. However, when I create a DB with a DB User (All Privileges) WordPress does not recognize the user. I have to use the root user in order to use WordPress or else it cannot connect to the database. Thoughts?

    The root DB user is all I ever use when developing locally, regardless of which local server I am using, Windows and Mac.

    Unless you have some very specific reason to use one of your own creation, perhaps consider just doing the same 🙂

    If you are concerned about how using the root DB user will affect things when you move the site to a web host, don’t worry, it will not be an issue. I have moved literally 100’s of WP (and other scripts) from local to live (or other local servers) and have never had any issues in this regard.

    Ok yes that actually makes a lot of sense. Thanks
