Brilliantly explained stages – never used wordpress before other than adding the odd comment- was setting it up to prove it could be done for a friend who wants to build a website.
Working – at least for pages , no database action – on a Pi 3B+

I use a raspberry to host a site for my car dealership, its a pi4 with 8 MB RAM, it serves nearly as fast as hosted site ( I have about 1500 images), I protect my network with a firebox router and I keep the webserver in the DMZ. I get no sales calls, no emails to improve my page, and I have had no known issues. For most post sites that are not getting crazy traffic RP4 would work well. If your site is very active you would have slowdowns but that is true with a hosted site which is why they have upgrades for hosting at higher costs. That alternative on the PI is to move to the PI5 which is three times faster. But it remains true that a Pi is only for a low use site, local or on the net. Firewalls and Attack protection is the issue that is hard to manage if you are not a network trained individual. This makes serving a page from your internet connection an issue , specially if you have a consumer router.

Thanks for the guide. There is a small mistype that might trip some noobs like me:

Open a new browser window. Type in your Raspberry Pi’s IP address from before, but continue the address with /test/php.

It should look like this (but replace the Xs with IP address numbers):

http://X.X.X.X/test/php
Code language: JavaScript (javascript)
If you see the message displayed on the screen, PHP is active!

I think this should be reading as :
http://X.X.X.X/test.php
