How to Install WordPress

What You'll Be Creating

So you want a WordPress site?

That’s great. WordPress is the world’s most popular content management system (or CMS), and for good reason.

With WordPress you can get yourself a flexible, scaleable and user-friendly website. The software itself is free and all you have to pay for is the hosting you’ll put it on.

But before you can start, there is one thing you’ll have to do, and that’s set up WordPress. This puts a lot of people off: they think it’s tricky, or long-winded, or requires writing code.

None of these are true. You have two options for installing WordPress, both of which are designed to be quick and easy. I’ll show you how to do both of them in this guide.

Premium WordPress Themes and Plugins

Once you've got your site set up, you'll want to explore the thousands of WordPress themes on ThemeForest and WordPress plugins on CodeCanyon. Purchase these high-quality WordPress themes and plugins can and improve your website experience for you and your visitors.

Options for Installing WordPress

There are two ways of installing WordPress: manually, or with the click of a button.

For most non-techies, the click of a button option is the preferred option. But just in case you are prefer the more thorough way, I’m going to help you to do it manually too.

Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Automatic Installation

Pros:

It’s easy.

It works.

Cons:

Your hosting provider might add some extra code or plugins, which could cause you problems in the long run. Or might just annoy you. For most people, this isn’t an issue.

A poor hosting provider might not install the latest version of WordPress. A good one will. (Hint: you should only go with a good one.)

If your hosting provider doesn’t provide cPanel (or something like it) as part of your package, you might not have access to an auto-installer (which is why this is an important criterion when choosing hosting).

Manual Installation

Pros:

You get a clean installation with no extra code or plugins.

Cons:

It takes longer.

It’s not as easy.

Sometimes it doesn’t work properly (although that’s normally due to user error).

For 90% of website owners, the automatic installation is absolutely fine. It’s only if you’re planning to customize the code in your site that you may have issues.

If you fancy trying your hand at manual installation, read through the instructions below and give it a go. But if you prefer an easy life, go with the automatic option.

Installing WordPress With an Auto-installer

Let’s start with the quick and easy option.

First, you’ll need to access your control panel with your hosting provider. This is normally called cPanel, although some providers give it a name of their own.

If you’re not sure how to get to this, check the email you received when you set up your hosting account. It should contain a link to cPanel. And if that fails, ask your hosting provider to tell you or google ‘access cPanel [my hosting provider]’.

The hosting provider I use is Siteground. To access cPanel via their client area, I go to My Accounts > Go to cPanel.

You’re then presented with the cPanel screen.

At this point, you might panic. So many options! Databases! Joomla! Mail! Security! How on earth do you know where to start?

You only need to find the WordPress auto installer. Ignore everything else. Just blank it out. Pretend it isn’t there.

You should find a section called Autoinstallers. In that section you’re looking for an icon with the word WordPress beneath it. If you can’t find that, you’ll need to use Softaculous instead.

Let me start by demonstrating the process with the dedicated WordPress installer.

Installing WordPress With the WordPress Auto-installer

Click on the WordPress logo. This will take you to a set of screens for installing WordPress.

If the Install tab isn’t already open, click on it.

Now complete the fields as below.

Version: lLave this as the default.

Protocol: If you have SSL already set up for your site (some providers give you this when you register the domain), select https://. If not or if in doubt, select https:// Note that SSL makes your site more secure and is worth using if possible.

Choose Domain: If you have more than one domain registered, choose the one you want to use.

In Directory: Leave this blank.

Site Name: Enter the name of your site. You can change this later.

Site Description: Your tagline. Again, you can change this later.

Enable Multisite: Leave this unchecked. Some auto-installers don’t have this: don’t worry if you can’t see it.

Admin Username: Type in the username you want to use. Don’t use admin as this isn’t very secure. You can’t change this later so make sure it’s what you intend to use forever.

Admin Password: Type in the password you want to use. Use something different from your username, with a few upper-case letters and numbers for extra security. You want to make it as hard as possible for people to get into your site. You can change your password later via the WordPress admin screens, to make it more secure.

Admin Email: Type in the email address you want to use for any emails relating to your site. This isn’t publicly displayed.

Select Language: Choose your language.

Select Plugins: Leave all of these unchecked. This will only be an option with some hosting providers: don’t worry if it isn’t there.

WordPress Starter: Uncheck this. Again, this is specific to some hosting providers and you might not have it.

If there are any other options, just leave them unchecked. And ignore any advanced settings: you don’t need to worry about them.

Once you’ve filled out the fields, click the Install button.

The auto-installer will take some time to set up your new WordPress site and then you’ll be taken to a screen with details of your new site. There will be a link to the site itself and a link to your dashboard. In the screenshot below I’ve installed WordPress in a subdirectory.

Congratulations, you now have a WordPress site!

Installing WordPress With Softaculous

If your cPanel doesn’t have a dedicated WordPress installer, you can use Softaculous instead. Follow these steps:

Click on the Softaculous icon in cPanel.

From the menu on the left, select WordPress.

Click the WordPress icon at the top of the screen.

Follow the steps in the previous section.

In fact, the WordPress auto-installer is nothing more than a shortcut to the Softaculous installer. So the process is the same.

Once you’ve done that, you can follow the link to your shiny new site and start getting it ready.

Installing WordPress Manually

Alternatively, you can use the "famous five minute install" to install WordPress manually.

To install WordPress manually you’ll need:

A web browser.

An FTP client. This will let you upload files to the server where your website is hosted. Personally, I use Coda, a code editing application with FTP client included, but if you just need FTP you can choose from our list of the top five FTP clients out there.

Access to your server to create databases—your hosting provider will likely provide you with a tool called phpMyAdmin to do this. If in doubt, ask them!

Note that you won’t need an FTP client if you’re running WordPress locally—that is if you're running it on your computer instead of on the internet.

To install WordPress you’ll need to follow three steps:

create a database on your server

download WordPress and copy it to your server

run the WordPress installation

Create a Database

The database will hold all of your site’s content and without it, WordPress and your WordPress site won’t work. You can create yours in one of two ways, depending on your hosting provider’s setup:

via your hosting admin screens

using phpMyAdmin

With my hosting provider, I use their admin screens to create a database, so let’s look at that first.

Using Your Hosting Admin to Create a Database

In your hosting admin screens, find an option called databases, SQL databases or similar. The exact name will vary depending on your provider.

For example, here’s the screen I use:

If you’re using a similar admin screen, follow these steps:

Give your database a name and type it in the field.

Click on Create Database.

You’ll then be asked to enter a password for the new user associated with this database. Choose a password, type it in, and click OK.

Make a note of the database name, username and password. You’ll need these later.

And, that’s it—your database is ready!

Using phpMyAdmin to Create a Database

If your hosting provider gives you phpMyAdmin as part of your package, or you’re using MAMP to install WordPress locally, you can use this to create your database.

In your hosting admin screens or the MAMP welcome screen, click the link to phpMyAdmin, which might look something like this:

The phpMyAdmin welcome screen will open. Click on the Databases tab at the top left to open the databases screen:

In the Create Database field, type the name of your database.

Click the Create button.

And with that, your database will be created. Make a note of the database name for later. The username and password will default to root.

Step 1 is done—and that’s the trickiest part. It’s plain sailing from here on in!

Download and Upload WordPress

Now you need to download the latest version of WordPress.

Go to the WordPress download page.

Click the Download WordPress button to download a zip file containing all of the WordPress files to your computer.

Unzip the file on your computer in exactly the same way you would normally unzip any other file. You’ll now have a folder called wordpress with all of the WordPress files in it. Make a note of where that folder is.

Next, you need to upload WordPress to your server.

Open your FTP client. Sign in to the FTP on your server using the FTP login details your hosting provider gave you when you created your account. If you’re not sure about these, ask them. You’ll need the server address, your username and the password.

In your FTP client, find the wordpress folder on your local machine and the public_html folder on your server. You should be able to see the two of them side by side. As an example, here’s mine in Coda:

Note that my folder on the remote server is empty because I’m installing WordPress in a subdirectory. Yours will have other files in there—ignore those.

Now drag the contents of the wordpress folder (not the folder itself) to your public_html folder. Your FTP client will copy the files to your server.

Wait for the files to finish copying. Now you’re ready for the third and final stage: Running the WordPress installation.

Run the WordPress Installation

Your database and files are in place and you’re ready to install WordPress!

Open your browser and go to your website. You’ll see the first WordPress installation screen.

You should have all this information noted down from when you were creating your database. Click Let’s Go!

On the next screen, input your database name, username and password. If you’re working locally, the username and password will default to root. Otherwise they’ll be what you specified when you created your database.

Leave the Database Host and Table Prefix fields as they are (note: if in any doubt, ask your host for what to enter as the Database Host, as this can vary between hosting providers—assuming they haven’t already let you know in a previous email when you initially signed up for their services) and click Submit.

Next, you’ll see my favorite screen—the one that tells you WordPress is ready to install. Well done!

Note: If you’re in the US, it will say ‘All right sparky!’. I’m in the UK so it uses the more sedate ‘sunshine’. I prefer ‘sparky’ to be honest.

Click Run the install to access the site details screen.

Finally, enter your site details: the site title, your username and password and email address. If you want Google to find your site, leave the Privacy box checked. Click Install WordPress.

WordPress will be installed and you’ll see a success screen. Hurray!

Now you can log in to your site by clicking the Log In button and entering the credentials you provided when you were installing WordPress.

This will take you to the WordPress dashboard.

Congratulations, you’ve successfully installed WordPress and can now start managing your site!

Installing WordPress isn’t as tricky as you may think. By following the advice above, you can get yourself a brand new site with the world’s favorite CMS. Enjoy!

How to use WordPress API Authentication with Ionic

If you want to use the WordPress API and connect your Ionic app to it, most likely you also want to make user of the users your page already has (or use it as a simple backend for your next app).

But instead of using the basic authentication from WordPress, a more elegant way is to use JWT authentication, which is possible with the help of a simple plugin.

In this tutorial we will prepare a WordPress instance for JWT and also build an Ionic app to register new users, and to also sign them in and make authorised requests to the WordPress API using an interceptor.

There’s also a full blown course on using Ionic with WordPress that even covers push notifications with OneSignal, so if you really want to get into this topic, check out the Ionic Academy and the course library!

WordPress Preparation

Before we get started with our app we need to prepare WordPress. First of all, we can install 2 plugins:

JWT Authentication for WP-API

WP REST User

These plugins will help us to set up JWT authentication for the WordPress API, and also allow registeration of new users directly through the API.

Now we also need some small changes, the first one could be added to your wp-content/themes/{yourthemename}/functions.php

This fix enables CORS and also allows different protocols – and issue a lot of you encountered with my last Ionic + WordPress tutorial on real devices!

In order to set up the JWT part, we also need to add these 2 lines to the wp-config.php file:

define('JWT_AUTH_CORS_ENABLE', true); define('JWT_AUTH_SECRET_KEY', 'your-top-secret-key');

Generate a key or use a dummy string while testing, and then move on to the last changes.

As described in the setup guide of the JWT plugin, we also need to add the highlighted lines to our .htaccess like this:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /wordpress/ RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L] RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*) RewriteRule ^(.*) - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%1] </IfModule>

Now the WordPress instance is ready, and hopefully everything still works with your page!

Ionic App Setup

Let’s kick off the Ionic app with a blank template, one additional service for all of our API interaction and also install Ionic storage to store our JWT later down the road:

ionic start devdacticWP blank --type=angular cd ./devdacticWP ionic g service services/api npm i @ionic/storage

To make our WordPress URL easily accessible, we can set it directly inside our environments/environment.ts:

export const environment = { production: false, apiUrl: 'http://192.168.2.123:8888/wordpress/wp-json' };

I’ve used a local MAMP testing instance and the blog was running in a folder “wordpress” – change your URL according to your settings!

Note: I recommend adding your local IP (or public website if possible), localhost won’t work once you deploy your app to a device!

Now we just need to import all relevant modules to our main module, and don’t worry the error about the interceptor, we’ll get to that file soon.

Go ahead and change your app.module.ts to:

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'; import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'; import { RouteReuseStrategy } from '@angular/router'; import { IonicModule, IonicRouteStrategy } from '@ionic/angular'; import { SplashScreen } from '@ionic-native/splash-screen/ngx'; import { StatusBar } from '@ionic-native/status-bar/ngx'; import { AppComponent } from './app.component'; import { AppRoutingModule } from './app-routing.module'; import { HttpClientModule, HTTP_INTERCEPTORS } from '@angular/common/http'; import { IonicStorageModule } from '@ionic/storage'; import { JwtInterceptor } from './interceptors/jwt.interceptor'; @NgModule({ declarations: [AppComponent], entryComponents: [], imports: [ BrowserModule, IonicModule.forRoot(), AppRoutingModule, HttpClientModule, IonicStorageModule.forRoot() ], providers: [ StatusBar, SplashScreen, { provide: RouteReuseStrategy, useClass: IonicRouteStrategy }, { provide: HTTP_INTERCEPTORS, useClass: JwtInterceptor, multi: true } ], bootstrap: [AppComponent] }) export class AppModule {}

The interceptor will be used whenever we make a HTTP request later, but for now let’s get a token first of all.

Service and Interceptor

In our service we will handle all API interaction, and also create a BehaviorSubject which represents the current state of the user. You might have used Events in the past, but since Ionic 5 you should move to RxJS instead.

Let’s go through all of our service functions quickly:

constructor: Load any previously stored JWT and emit the data on our Subject

signIn: Call the API route to sign in a user and retrieve a JWT. This token will be written to our Storage, and once this operation is finished we emit the new value on our Subject

signUp: Call the API route to create a new users, which is added through the plugin we installed

resetPassword: Call the API route to send out a reset password email, which is added through the plugin we installed

getPrivatePosts: Get a list of private posts from the WordPress blog – the user needs to be authenticated for this and have at least the role Editor!

getCurrentUser / getUserValue: Helper functions to get an Observable or the current value from our Subject

logout: Remove any stored token from our storage

Not a lot of logic, basically we make simply use of the WordPress API, so go ahead and add the following to your services/api.service.ts:

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core'; import { BehaviorSubject, from } from 'rxjs'; import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http'; import { Platform } from '@ionic/angular'; import { environment } from '../../environments/environment'; import { map, switchMap, tap } from 'rxjs/operators'; import { Storage } from '@ionic/storage'; const JWT_KEY = 'myjwtstoragekey'; @Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' }) export class ApiService { private user = new BehaviorSubject(null); constructor(private http: HttpClient, private storage: Storage, private plt: Platform) { this.plt.ready().then(() => { this.storage.get(JWT_KEY).then(data => { if (data) { this.user.next(data); } }) }) } signIn(username, password) { return this.http.post(`${environment.apiUrl}/jwt-auth/v1/token`, { username, password }).pipe( switchMap(data => { return from(this.storage.set(JWT_KEY, data)); }), tap(data => { this.user.next(data); }) ); } signUp(username, email, password) { return this.http.post(`${environment.apiUrl}/wp/v2/users/register`, { username, email, password }); } resetPassword(usernameOrEmail) { return this.http.post(`${environment.apiUrl}/wp/v2/users/lostpassword`, { user_login: usernameOrEmail }); } getPrivatePosts() { return this.http.get<any[]>(`${environment.apiUrl}/wp/v2/posts?_embed&status=private`).pipe( map(data => { for (let post of data) { if (post['_embedded']['wp:featuredmedia']) { post.media_url = post['_embedded']['wp:featuredmedia'][0]['media_details'].sizes['medium'].source_url; } } return data; }) ); } getCurrentUser() { return this.user.asObservable(); } getUserValue() { return this.user.getValue(); } logout() { this.storage.remove(JWT_KEY).then(() => { this.user.next(null); }); } }

So the idea is to sign in a user, store the token, and whenever we make a following request (in our case only to load private posts), we attach the JWT to the header of our request.

And we can do this easily by implementing an interceptor, that will load the token value and if available, add it to the headers of our request.

The following code performs exactly this operation, so we don’t need any additional JWT library and can simply create a new file at app/interceptors/jwt.interceptor.ts like this:

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core'; import { HttpRequest, HttpHandler, HttpEvent, HttpInterceptor } from '@angular/common/http'; import { Observable } from 'rxjs'; import { ApiService } from '../services/api.service'; @Injectable() export class JwtInterceptor implements HttpInterceptor { constructor(private api: ApiService) { } intercept(request: HttpRequest<any>, next: HttpHandler): Observable<HttpEvent<any>> { let currentUser = this.api.getUserValue(); if (currentUser && currentUser.token) { request = request.clone({ setHeaders: { Authorization: `Bearer ${currentUser.token}` } }); } return next.handle(request); } }

That’s it – now we will attach the token to all requests if the user is authenticated! This means, it will not only work for the one special request that requires authentication, but all other requests to the WP API that you might make that would need authentication.

Now we basically just need to hook up our view with the functonality of our service. First of all, we need to add the ReactiveFormsModule since we will use a reactive form

Therefore go ahead and add it to the home/home.module.ts of our app:

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'; import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common'; import { IonicModule } from '@ionic/angular'; import { FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule } from '@angular/forms'; import { RouterModule } from '@angular/router'; import { HomePage } from './home.page'; @NgModule({ imports: [ CommonModule, FormsModule, IonicModule, RouterModule.forChild([ { path: '', component: HomePage } ]), ReactiveFormsModule ], declarations: [HomePage] }) export class HomePageModule {}

With that in place we can create our form for the login or sign up credentials, and for simplicity we will simply create just one form for both cases.

Just note that you need to send all 3 values (username, email, password) if you want to register a new user!

Besides that we can integrate our service functionality and handle the results and errors of these calls. For the forgot password dialog we can use a simple alert, which is already the most exiting thing about our class.

We subscribe to the Observable of the user, and once we have a real user we will also trigger a reload of the private posts.

Go ahead and change your home/home.page.ts to:

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core'; import { ApiService } from '../services/api.service'; import { FormGroup, FormBuilder, Validators } from '@angular/forms'; import { AlertController, ToastController } from '@ionic/angular'; @Component({ selector: 'app-home', templateUrl: 'home.page.html', styleUrls: ['home.page.scss'] }) export class HomePage implements OnInit { userForm: FormGroup; user = this.api.getCurrentUser(); posts = []; constructor( private api: ApiService, private fb: FormBuilder, private alertCtrl: AlertController, private toastCtrl: ToastController ) { this.user.subscribe(user => { if (user) { this.loadPrivatePosts(); } else { this.posts = []; } }); } ngOnInit() { this.userForm = this.fb.group({ username: ['', Validators.required], email: '', password: ['', Validators.required] }); } login() { this.api.signIn(this.userForm.value.username, this.userForm.value.password).subscribe( res => {}, err => { this.showError(err); } ); } signUp() { this.api.signUp(this.userForm.value.username, this.userForm.value.email, this.userForm.value.password).subscribe( async res => { const toast = await this.toastCtrl.create({ message: res['message'], duration: 3000 }); toast.present(); }, err => { this.showError(err); } ); } async openPwReset() { const alert = await this.alertCtrl.create({ header: 'Forgot password?', message: 'Enter your email or username to retrieve a new password', inputs: [ { type: 'text', name: 'usernameOrEmail' } ], buttons: [ { role: 'cancel', text: 'Back' }, { text: 'Reset Password', handler: (data) => { this.resetPw(data['usernameOrEmail']); } } ] }); await alert.present(); } resetPw(usernameOrEmail) { this.api.resetPassword(usernameOrEmail).subscribe( async res => { const toast = await this.toastCtrl.create({ message: res['message'], duration: 2000 }); toast.present(); }, err => { this.showError(err); } ); } loadPrivatePosts() { this.api.getPrivatePosts().subscribe(res => { this.posts = res; }); } logout() { this.api.logout(); } async showError(err) { const alert = await this.alertCtrl.create({ header: err.error.code, subHeader: err.error.data.status, message: err.error.message, buttons: ['OK'] }); await alert.present(); } }

The last missing piece is our view, which basically shows our form for data plus the according buttons to trigger the actions.

We can also add a little if/else logic using ng-template to show either the card with our input fields, or a dummy card with the user value printed out as JSON.

Since the user object is an Observable we also need the async pipe, which makes the if statement looks kinda tricky (which it actually isn’t).

Below our cards we can also create a very basic list to show all private posts. Of course that’s just one idea and quick example of how to present it, you can also find a more detailed version in my previous WordPress tutorial!

Finish your app by changing the home/home.page.html to:

<ion-header> <ion-toolbar color="primary"> <ion-title> Devdactic Wordpress </ion-title> </ion-toolbar> </ion-header> <ion-content> <ion-card *ngIf="!(user | async); else welcome"> <ion-card-content> <form [formGroup]="userForm" (ngSubmit)="login()"> <ion-item> <ion-label position="floating">Username</ion-label> <ion-input formControlName="username"></ion-input> </ion-item> <ion-item> <ion-label position="floating">Email</ion-label> <ion-input formControlName="email"></ion-input> </ion-item> <ion-item> <ion-label position="floating">Password</ion-label> <ion-input type="password" formControlName="password"></ion-input> </ion-item> <ion-button expand="full" [disabled]="!userForm.valid" type="submit">Sign in</ion-button> <ion-button expand="full" [disabled]="!userForm.valid" type="button" color="secondary" (click)="signUp()"> Register</ion-button> <ion-button expand="full" type="button" color="tertiary" (click)="openPwReset()">Forgot password?</ion-button> </form> </ion-card-content> </ion-card> <ng-template #welcome> <ion-card> <ion-card-header> <ion-card-title>Welcome back!</ion-card-title> </ion-card-header> <ion-card-content> <ion-button expand="full" (click)="logout()">Logout</ion-button> </ion-card-content> </ion-card> </ng-template> <ion-card *ngFor="let post of posts"> <ion-card-header> <ion-card-title [innerHTML]="post.title.rendered"></ion-card-title> <ion-card-subtitle>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ion-card-subtitle> </ion-card-header> <ion-card-content> <img [src]="post.media_url" *ngIf="post.media_url"> <div [innerHTML]="post.excerpt.rendered"></div>   </ion-card-content> </ion-card> </ion-content>

Now go ahead and enjoy your authentication flow from Ionic with WordPress backend!

Conclusion

Adding REST API authentication to your WordPress blog isn’t that hard and helps to create powerful apps using Ionic.

Just keep in mind that the initial role of a new user might be something that has no access to private posts yet, so you would have to manually promote users in that case.

Anyway, using WordPress as a simple backend is a great alternative to other systems if you already have a WordPress blog or know a thing or two about PHP!

Frequently Asked Questions

How to Install WordPress on cPanel( Softaculous , MOJO, Fantastico, and QuickInstall)

So, you decided to start a blog.

Awesome. Now it’s time to roll up your sleeves and get to work installing WordPress.

Thankfully, many of the popular WordPress hosts offer some kind of simplified( or even automatic) installation.

If you’re employ a “shared” WordPress hosting plan, there’s a good chance your host will use cPanel.

Editor’s Note: cPanel is an online control panel many web hosts use to simplify the whole “how to host a website” thing for users. Go here to learn more about it.

Let’s walk through the cPanel process…

Step# 1. Find Out How to Access Your Host’s cPanel

Unfortunately, the way you get to cPanel is not standardized across the web. Different hosts access it differently.

So, before you can do anything, you need to find out how to access your host’s cPanel.

The easiest method is to find the emails your hosting provider sent you when you signed up for your account. Among other valuable bits of information, the URL to your cPanel will be in one of those initial emails.

But if you can’t find the right email, don’t worry.

Just Google the name of your web host and “cPanel login”.

That should do the trick.

Step# 2. Get to Know cPanel

The main cPanel dashboard can be a little intimidating.

Relax.

You don’t have to understand all cPanel has to offer. We’re here to do one thing — learn how to install WordPress.

For that, let’s look for the cPanel installer tools, who the hell is usually located near the bottom of the page.

Your host might be using any of the following installers: Softaculous, Fantastico, QuickInstall, or MOJO Marketplace.

We’re going to focus on Softaculous since it’s the most popular.

But don’t worry if your host uses a different installer.

While the specific interfaces might be a bit different, the idea behind every installer is the same.

Plus, they all ask you for the same define of data and inputs.

Step# 3. How to Install WordPress Using Softaculous

To begin, look for the Softaculous section in cPanel.

Click on the WordPress logo. The installer tool will open :P TAGEND

Click on the Install Now button to begin the installation process.

Softaculous needs only a handful of details from you. Here are the fields you should pay special attention to :P TAGEND

“Choose the version you want to install” — Always go for the most-recent version available.

“Choose Protocol” — “https :// ” is the option preferred by Google. “Choose Domain” — Leave unchanged if you have just one domain assigned to your server; if you have more than one domain, select the desired one for this installation.

“In Directory” — Leave empty if you want to install WordPress in the main directory of your domain name (which most people do ).

“Select Plugin( s) ” — Optional( but as a general rule: the fewer plugins, the better ).

Here’s what the kind looks like :P TAGEND

Click Install to proceed.

When the process finishes, Softaculous will show you a final confirmation screen along with links to your WordPress dashboard.

And that’s it!

You’ve installed WordPress using cPanel.

Note: The WordPress dashboard of your newly-installed site should be available at yoursite.com/wp-admin/. Back to Top

How to Install WordPress on Localhost( Or, How to Install WordPress Locally)

The instructions for how to install WordPress locally depends on whether you’re using a PC( Windows) or a Mac.

We’ll go over both methods.

First up: Windows.

( If you’re on a Mac, click here to jump ahead .)

How to Install WordPress on Windows

WordPress is a great tool for local web development.

Here’s how you install WordPress locally on Windows :P TAGEND Step# 1. Get XAMPP

XAMPP is a local web server for your computer. It’s an all-in-one package with everything you will need to run software (such as WordPress) locally.

What About WAMP?

You might have heard of a similar tool called WAMP.

Under the hood, WAMP and XAMPP do the same thing. However, in my opinion, WAMP isn’t as reliable as XAMPP.

For this reason and others, we’ll focus on XAMPP in this tutorial.

From the XAMPP website, click on the download button for Windows and save the XAMPP package to your desktop.

Launch the XAMPP installer and follow the prompts on the screen.

First, select the individual components you want to have installed. To be safe, you can choose all of them :P TAGEND

Next, select the installation folder for XAMPP.

Note: Avoid installing XAMPP in Program Files. The read/ write restrictions of Windows might prevent it from working correctly. Installing in C :\ xampp is a safer wager.

XAMPP will take a minute or two to install.

When it’s finished, you’ll see this confirmation screen :P TAGEND

When you click on Finish, you’ll consider the main XAMPP config panel.

In it, click on the two Start buttons next to Apache and MySQL.

Like so :P TAGEND

You should consider the two labels change to green :P TAGEND

When you consider green, your local server is working!

Step# 2. Create a Blank Database for WordPress

From the control panel of XAMPP, click on the Admin button in the MySQL row :P TAGEND

This will launch a tool called PHPMyAdmin, which is an open-source database management tool.

Go into Databases( from the top menu ).

Enter a name for your new WordPress database( something simple) and click the Create button :P TAGEND

You should see your new blank database in the sidebar :P TAGEND

You can now exit PHPMyAdmin.

Step# 3. Download WordPress

Go to WordPress.org and download the most recent version of the software.

Don’t worry. It’s free :P TAGEND

Next :P TAGEND

Save the file to your desktop or downloads folder. Extract it. Go to the folder where you installed XAMPP( C :\ xampp) and find the htdocs subfolder. Make a new subfolder inside htdocs. This is where your site is going to live. For the purpose of this demo, I’ll name the folder mynewsite.

Note: The name of this folder will also become part of the local address of the site. With mynewsite being the folder name, the address of the site is soon to be localhost/mynewsite.

Take the contents of the WordPress archive and move them to this new subfolder( “mynewsite” or what it is you named yours ).

It should look like this :P TAGEND

Step# 4. Install WordPress Locally on Windows

Open your web browser and navigate to localhost/ mynewsite.

What you’ll see is the on-screen WordPress Installation Wizard.

The first step is opting your language :P TAGEND

The next screen is an info card to get you up to velocity with what’s going to happen. Click on Let’s go! once you’ve read it.

The next step is a crucial one in the installation.

This is where you get to enter the details of your WordPress connection to the database.

Here are my decideds based on everything I’ve set in the previous steps so far :P TAGEND

Important components :P TAGEND

Database Name — This is the name you set in PHPMyAdmin in order to establish the database in Step# 2.

Username — Set to root.

Password — Leave blank.

Database Host — Set to localhost.

Table Prefix — Leave as is.

The next step is where you get to set the name of your site and the details of your main admin account :P TAGEND

Note: With the exception of username, you’ll be able to easily change these later in your WordPress dashboard.

Click on Install WordPress to finalise everything.

And that’s it. You’ve installed WordPress locally on Windows.

How to Install WordPress on Mac

While installing WordPress locally on Mac isn’t the usual “get app from App Store” experience we’re used to, it can still be done with relative ease.

Here’s how to install WordPress on Mac :P TAGEND Step# 1. Get MAMP

MAMP is a local web server that works quite well on Mac.

( It’s also easier to install than some of its alternatives.).

From the MAMP website, go to the downloads section and opt the option for macOS :P TAGEND

Save the package..
