How to Install Wordpress from cPanel

WordPress has been one of the most popular Content Management Systems (CMS) used by millions of bloggers. 

It has great features and wide support for developers. WordPress can be used to get attractive themes to run any kind of website including personal blogs, portals, and online shops.

WordPress maintains a central repository for its latest software releases at www.wordpress.org. You can download and set up the software manually or use an automatic script installer like softaculous.

NO 1: Log to your Cpanel Account

First login into your cPanel account by typing www.example.com/cpanel on your browser. Then, enter your username and password that you received from your web hosting provider when you set up an account with them as shown below.

NO 2: Locate Softaculous apps installer

After you have logged in, you will see the Cpanel dashboard, locate the text box that reads, “Find functions quickly by typing here:” Just enter the name ‘Softaculous’. The script installer will be displayed below together with all apps that it supports. Click ‘WordPress’ and proceed.

NO 3: Choose a protocol and a domain name

Next, you will see a brief description of the WordPress version that you are about to install on your website, click on the button labeled ‘Install’. You will be taken to the ‘Software Setup’ page. Choose your desired protocol. The recommended one is ‘http://www.’ or ‘https://www.’ Use https only if you have an SSL certificate for your domain.

NO 4: Fill WordPress site settings detail

Enter the name of your website and a brief description. Then, choose an admin username, password, and email. You will need these details to log in to your WordPress admin panel, so choose a strong password. Select your preferred language and scroll down to proceed.

The next screen displays an option where you can install some plugins (this is optional), then choose your desired theme. Remember to supply your email address one more on the text box that reads, “>Email installation details to”. Finally, click on the ‘Install’ button.

You will then be taken to the congratulations screen as shown below and email with your WordPress installation details will be sent to the address that you entered above:

Congratulations, the software was installed successfully

NO 5: Test the Installation

Log in to your WordPress site by typing the administrative URL e.g. http://www.example.com/wp-admin/

Your installation is now complete and you will be taken directly to your WordPress dashboard.
