At first you need to have a local webserver with php and mysql to run the site locally (e.g. XAMPP). Then you have to download all your WordPress files and copy them into the source folder of your local webserver (e.g. xampp/htdocs). The next step is to copy your database. To do this, you have to export it from your website and import it on your local environment. At last you have to edit your wp-config.php. Update the database configuration (DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_HOST) and add the following two lines before /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
:
define( 'WP_HOME', 'http://localurl' );
define( 'WP_SITEURL', 'http://localurl' );
If you need further information (e.g. how to download the files, how to export/import the database) i need more information about your system (e.g. how do you access your site and database).
