 * I have my main “local” wordpress multisite on c:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress. It has
   about 10 different websites with different themes and topics. Basically it is
   a test area to try out different ideas.
    I would like to create specific ‘local’
   versions that will mirror the websites that I will use ‘live’. Let’s assume I
   call them [http://www.website1.com](http://www.website1.com), [http://www.website2.com](http://www.website2.com).
 * What is the process of creating two local versions on my laptop before transferring
   them to a ‘live’ site.
    c:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress1 c:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress2
 * Is copying the wordpress folder, creating a new database, and editing the functions.
   php file the easiest way, or is there another way?
