Install WordPress using WordOps. Creating a WordPress site using WordOps is so easy. The below command can be used to create a WordPress site on your domain name. sudo wo site create domain_name --wp When creating a site, you can specify the PHP version, Redis cache, cache enabler e.t.c using the below flags. # install wordpress with latest PHP 8.0 without any page caching sudo wo site create example.com --wp #install wordpress with PHP 8.1 without any page caching sudo wo site create example.com --wp --php81 # install wordpress + nginx fastcgi_cache sudo wo site create example.com --wpfc # install wordpress + nginx redis_cache sudo wo site create example.com --wpredis # install wordpress with WP-Rocket plugin sudo wo site create example.com --wprocket # install wordpress with Cache-enabler plugin sudo wo site create example.com --wpce # install wordpress with wp-super-cache plugin sudo wo site create example.com --wpsc To create a WordPress site with multisite with subdirectory, add the --wpsubdirflag to the above commands. For example, to install wpmu-subdirectory with the wp-super-cache plugin, the command will be: wo site create example.com --wpsubdir --wpsc

Also, you can create a WordPress multisite with a subdomain using the --wpsubdomain flag for example: wo site create example.com --wpsubdomain In this guide, I will demonstrate how to create a WordPress site on wordpress.example.com with PHP8.0. The command will be; sudo wo site create wordpress.example.com --wp Sample command execution output: This command installs and configures Nginx, MySQL database, PHP, and WordPress. Once complete, view the info about your site: sudo wo site info wordpress.example.com Sample Output: 3. Access the WordPress Site Access the WordPress site using the URL http://domain_name Visit the WordPress admin console with the URL http://domain_name/wp-admin On this page, log in using the created credentials provided during the installation.

Navigate to the users tab and click edit for the admin user. Set the preferred password and save the changes. That is it! You have successfully set up the WordPress Website on Linux using WordOps. 4.
