It might be to do with what your wordpress root folder in htdocs is called. Does this link work? http://localhost/wordpress/
Wouldn’t it be easier to use some private web hosting with an apache server running WordPress that you could update from home and on the go?
What do you mean by secure place online?
Hi Tom,
I’ve just worked it out myself so wanted to share:
On a Mac
- Navigate to the wordpress themes folder in a terminal
- Create a symlink of the repo location to this directory
ln -s PATH_TO_SVN_REPO .
- Make sure the stylesheet is in the theme’s root (e.g. not in a css folder)
On a PC
- Right-click SVN_REPO folder and select ‘Create shortcut’
- Cut the shortcut and paste into the wordpress themes folder
- Make sure the stylesheet is in the theme’s root (e.g. not in a css folder)
Hope that helps.
