In this tutorial, you will learn how to install WordPress automatically using the cPanel control panel of your hosting account. The automatic installation is a simple and quick process, ideal for those who want to set up a WordPress site efficiently.
Step 1: Access cPanel
The first step is to log in to the cPanel of your hosting account. cPanel is the management interface that allows you to control various aspects of your hosting, including the installation of applications like WordPress.
Step 2: Find the WP Toolkit
After accessing cPanel, look for the “WP Toolkit” link. This feature makes it easier to install and manage WordPress directly from the control panel. Click the link to be directed to the WordPress installation page.
Step 3: Start the Installation
On the WP Toolkit page, you will see a button called “Install.” Click this button to start the installation process. You will be taken to a form where you need to provide some essential information for configuring your WordPress site.
Step 4: Fill Out the Installation Form
In the installation form, you will need to fill in important details such as:
- Installation Location: Choose the directory where WordPress will be installed. If you want to install it at the root of your domain, leave this field blank.
- Site Title: Enter a title for your site. This will be the name that appears in the header of your site.
- Plugin and Theme Kit: If desired, you can select plugins and themes to pre-install. This can help you start with some basic functionalities already configured.
After filling in all the information correctly, review the data and click the “Install” button to proceed.
Step 5: Complete the Installation
Wait a few moments while cPanel performs the WordPress installation. Once the process is complete, you will see a message confirming that WordPress has been successfully installed.
Now you can log in to the WordPress administration and start customizing your site according to your preferences.
