Installing WordPress

Log into your Control Panel.

Scroll down to the “Software” section and click either “Softaculous Apps Installer” or “WordPress Manager”.?

In Softaculous, click the WordPress icon (it may appear under “Top Scripts” or under the “Blogs” category).
On the WordPress overview page, click “Install” (or “Install Now”; you may see “Quick Install” and “Custom Install” – Quick is fine for most cases).?

On the install form, work through these key fields:

Choose Protocol:
Select https:// if you already have an SSL certificate; otherwise choose http:// for now.
Choose Domain:
Pick the domain or subdomain where you want WordPress installed from the dropdown.
In Directory:
- To install WordPress on the main domain (https://yourdomain.com), clear this box so it is empty.
- To install in a folder (https://yourdomain.com/blog), enter that folder name (for example, blog).

Site Name and Description:
Enter a title and short description; you can change these later inside WordPress. You can change this later.
Admin Account:
Set an admin username (do not use “admin”), a strong password, and an email address you can access. This email receives password reset links and important notices.

Database and table prefix:
Softaculous will generate these automatically; you can leave them as?is unless you have special requirements.?
Automatic updates and backups:
In “Advanced Options”, you can enable automatic updates however we don’t recommend it because we make backups of your account nightly.?
Select plugins/themes (if shown):
Some hosts offer suggested plugins and a theme selector on this screen; you can either pick them now but we recommend keeping it minimal and add themes/plugins later from the WordPress dashboard.??

At the bottom of the page, optionally enter an email address in “Email installation details to” to get the URL and login details sent to you.
Click the “Install” button and wait until you see a success message saying WordPress was installed successfully, along with the site URL and admin URL.?

Open the admin URL shown (typically https://yourdomain.com/wp-admin or similar), then log in with the admin username and password you set during installation.?
From the dashboard you can change your theme, install plugins, adjust permalinks, and start creating pages and posts.
