Installing WordPress:
Softaculous, our WordPress one-click installer, is well-known for its simplicity. WordPress installation is a quick and painless process that takes less than five minutes to complete.

1) log in to your cPanel in the first step.

2) Scroll down to the Softaculous Apps Installer section and click on the WordPress logo
once signed in to cPanel.
3) A screen with numerous options will appear; select the Install Now option.
Setting up the WordPress:
4) Now it’s time to choose a WordPress site protocol (HTTP or HTTPS). We strongly advise that you use the HTTPS protocol. You would utilize HTTPS if you already had a free Let’s Encrypt SSL configured. If your website does not employ an SSL certificate, the HTTP protocol will suffice.
5) Choose Domain lets you select the domain name for WordPress to be installed on. Use the drop-down option to select the appropriate domain if you’re hosting numerous domains as Addon domains within your cPanel.
6) Leave the In Directory field text box blank if you want your domain name to go straight to the application. Simply write “blog” in this section if you want to install it to a subdomain, such as yourdomain.com/blog.

About the Site Settings:
7) Type the title of your site in the Site Name text box, which will appear in any search engine.
8) Type your site’s description in the Site Description text box, which will appear in any search engine.
9) Enable Multisite (WPMU): Enable WordPress Multisite for your WordPress site with this option. The multisite functionality in WordPress allows you to establish a network of websites. Leave this option unchecked if this isn’t required.
About the Admin Account:
10) Type the administrator username in the Admin Username text box.
11) Type the administrator password in the Admin Password text box.
12) In the Select Language list box, choose your WordPress site’s default language.
Advanced Options:
We recommend that you leave the advanced settings for the database name and table prefix, which are set by default. You can enable auto-updates for your WordPress version, theme, and plugins from this section.

Getting Started with WordPress
So, you’ve just finished installing WordPress with Softaculous in one click. So, what’s next for you?
Logging In
The first step is to log into your WordPress website’s administration panel, sometimes known as the back end. Place wp-admin after your domain name to access your site’s login page (for example, at example.com/wp-admin). Substitute your own domain name for “example.com.”

Click the login button after entering the username and password you created during the installation. After logging in, you’ll see the Dashboard, which is the Administration Screen. This is where you’ll start managing your WordPress website.
What Is a Theme and How Do I Use It?
A theme is a set of templates and stylesheets that define how a WordPress site looks and functions.
Themes to Look For:
Because WordPress is so popular, there are a plethora of free and commercial themes accessible. Visit https://wordpress.org/themes to discover the huge range of available free WordPress themes.

While free themes are a terrific way to get started, premium (or paid) themes are quickly becoming the industry standard. Premium themes allow for more customization and frequently include a greater number of features than those found in the free theme directory.
You can buy a new theme for your website from a variety of premium theme marketplaces. With over 11,000 premium themes to select from in a variety of categories, Themeforest is a fantastic location to start looking for a premium theme.
Themes Installation:
The next step is to install the theme you’ve chosen. The WordPress administration interface is the most typical approach to installing a WordPress theme.

However, if you already own a.zip file containing a WordPress theme that you purchased, you can manually install it. Choose a theme from the WordPress theme directory and install it.
Follow the steps below to install and activate a new WordPress theme using the WordPress administration panel:
1) We’ll presume you’ve already logged into your WordPress admin panel.
2) From the Dashboard, go to Appearance, then Themes.
3) Select Add New from the drop-down menu.
4) To find a theme by name, type the name or keyword into the text box and hit Search.
5) When you’ve found a theme you’d want to use, click Install Now.
6) You can see how a theme looks before you install it. To do so, select Preview.
Click Activate to start using the new theme. Click Visit site to see your site with the new theme enabled. Install a theme that you’ve already downloaded.
If you have a.zip file containing a WordPress theme, you can upload it and install it on your site. Follow these steps to accomplish this:
1) We’ll presume you’ve already logged into your WordPress admin panel.
2) From the Dashboard, go to Appearance, then Themes.
3) Select Add New from the drop-down menu.
4) Click Upload Theme to upload your theme from your computer.
5) After you’ve uploaded your theme’s.zip file, click Install Now.
6) You can see how a theme looks before you install it. To do so, select Preview.
Click Activate to start using the new theme. Click Visit site to see your site with the new theme enabled.
Themes Customization:
After you’ve installed your WordPress theme, you can start customizing the look of your site with widgets, menus, headers, and backgrounds. All of these settings can be altered using the Customize option, which can be found under Appearance. By choosing Save & Publish, you may make your changes live.
Using Plugins
Because WordPress is so popular, there are a plethora of free and commercial plugins accessible. Visit https://wordpress.org/plugins/ to discover the huge range of available free WordPress plugins.

When it comes to plugins, use caution. Examine the “Last Updated” date as well as the number of ratings a plugin has. It is strongly advised that you avoid using obsolete plugins or those with low ratings.

Content Creation:
It’s time to start creating content now that you’ve installed WordPress and customized your site. Posts and pages are the primary ways to add material to a WordPress website.
