Steps to Install WordPress via WP Toolkit

Step 1: Log in to Your cPanel Account

Step 4: Configure WordPress Installation Settings

1. Installation Path:

   • If you want to install WordPress in the root directory (e.g., yourdomain.com), leave the path field empty.
   • If you want to install WordPress in a subdirectory (e.g., yourdomain.com/blog), enter the desired directory name in the path field.

2. Version and Language:

   • Choose the WordPress version you wish to install. It’s recommended to install the latest stable version.

4. Database Settings:

   • WP Toolkit will automatically create a new database for your WordPress installation. You can customize the database name and table prefix if needed, but the default settings work for most users.

5. Website Title:

   • Enter a name for your website. This can be changed later in the WordPress dashboard.

6. Automatic Update Settings:

2. You can also log in directly by visiting yourdomain.com/wp-admin and entering the admin credentials you created during installation.

Step 7: Manage Your WordPress Site

1. WP Toolkit offers a variety of management tools directly from the cPanel interface:
   • Security: Harden your WordPress installation with recommended security measures.
   • Backups: Create and manage backups of your WordPress site.
   • Themes and Plugins: Install and manage themes and plugins without logging into the WordPress dashboard.
   • Staging: Create a staging site to test changes before applying them to your live site.
