Step Four – Set Up WordPressWith your installation complete, it’s time to set up WordPress so it will work the way you want it to work. As you change various settings, it is recommended you view how those changes impact your site by frequently clicking the View Site link at the top of the Administration Screen. Though you may choose to do these steps in any order, your site will cause you fewer problems if you proceed in the following order:
- Users > Your User Profile - set the user information you want published on your site
- Your User Profile > Other Users – add authors and users that will be using your site, if applicable
- Options > General – set your site name and other site information
- Options > Writing – set the settings of your Write Post screen
- Options > Reading – set how many posts to show on the front page and in categories and your feed requirements
- Options > Discussion – Turn on or off comments and set how to handle them
- Manage > Categories – add a few categories to get started from your category list
- Manage > Posts – After you have written a few posts, this is where you will manage them by editing or deleting
- Presentation > Themes - maybe change the look of your site?
- Manage > Pages – add a Page or two like “About Us” or “Contact Me”
- Write > Write Post - start adding content to your site
- Writing Posts - step-by-step instructions on writing posts

Step Three – Install WordPress- Download and unzip the WordPress package, here if you haven’t already.
- Create a database for WordPress on your web server, as well as a MySQL user who has all privileges for accessing and modifying it.
- Rename the wp-config-sample.php file to wp-config.php.
- Open wp-config.php in your favorite text editor and fill in your database details as explained in Editing wp-config.php to generate and use your secret key password.
- Place the WordPress files in the desired location on your web server:If you want to integrate WordPress into the root of your domain (e.g. http://example.com/), move or upload all contents of the unzipped WordPress directory (but excluding the directory itself) into the root directory of your web server.
If you want to have your WordPress installation in its own subdirectory on your web site (e.g. http://example.com/blog/), rename the directory wordpress to the name you’d like the subdirectory to have and move or upload it to your web server. For example if you want the WordPress installation in a subdirectory called “blog”, you should rename the directory called “wordpress” to “blog” and upload it to the root directory of your web server. Hint: If your FTP transfer is too slow read how to avoid FTPing at : Step 1: Download and Extract.
- Run the WordPress installation script by accessing wp-admin/install.php in your favorite web browser.
- If you installed WordPress in the root directory, you should visit: http://example.com/wp-admin/install.php
- If you installed WordPress in its own subdirectory called blog, for example, you should visit: http://example.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php
That’s it! WordPress should now be installed.

New To WordPress – Where to StartStep One – Read
Before you invest your valuable time and energy into installing WordPress, there are some documents you need to read. WordPress is a great product; it’s easy-to-use, it’s quite powerful, but it isn’t necessarily the right software for everyone. Just like building a house, you have to use the right tool for the right job. Consider creating a PDF to read at your leisure.
