Softaculous is a one-click installer available in many hosting control panels. It sets up WordPress for you in a couple of minutes, no manual database or file work required. Here is how to use it.<\/p>\n

Finding Softaculous<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Log in to your control panel (cPanel or DirectAdmin).<\/li>\n
  2. Look for Softaculous Apps Installer<\/strong> or a WordPress<\/strong> icon.<\/li>\n
  3. Click it to open the installer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Installing WordPress<\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. Click WordPress<\/strong>, then Install Now<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
    2. Choose Protocol:<\/strong> select https:\/\/<\/em> (with or without www) so your site uses SSL.<\/li>\n
    3. Choose Domain:<\/strong> pick the domain to install on.<\/li>\n
    4. In Directory:<\/strong> leave this blank to install on the main domain, or enter a folder name for a subfolder install.<\/li>\n
    5. Set the Site Name<\/strong> and description (you can change these later).<\/li>\n
    6. Create an admin username and a strong password<\/strong>. Avoid “admin” as the username.<\/li>\n
    7. Enter your admin email.<\/li>\n
    8. Click Install<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      After installation<\/h2>\n
        \n
      • Softaculous shows your site URL and admin login URL (usually \/wp-admin<\/em>).<\/li>\n
      • Log in and choose a theme.<\/li>\n
      • Install only the plugins you truly need.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Tips for a secure start<\/h2>\n
          \n
        • Use a strong admin password and a non-obvious username.<\/li>\n
        • Keep WordPress, themes, and plugins updated.<\/li>\n
        • Enable automatic backups.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Troubleshooting<\/h2>\n
            \n
          • Install fails:<\/strong> make sure the target folder is empty.<\/li>\n
          • Site not secure:<\/strong> confirm you chose the https protocol and that SSL is active.<\/li>\n
          • Cannot log in:<\/strong> use the password reset link on the login page.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
