  1. First Step

Install WordPress

PreviousServer RequirementsNextInstalling The Theme and Plugins Required

Before beginning the installation and configuring of your new theme, you must first have WordPress already installed on a server.Please follow some steps below:

  1. Download and unzip the WordPress package if you haven’t already.

  2. Create a database for WordPress on your web server, as well as a (or MariaDB) user who has all privileges for accessing and modifying it.

  3. (Optional) Find and rename wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php, then edit the file (see ) and add your database information. Note: If you are not comfortable with renaming files, step 3 is optional and you can skip it as the install program will create the wp-config.php file for you.

  4. Upload the WordPress files to 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 (excluding the WordPress directory itself) into the root directory of your web server.

  • If you want to have your WordPress installation in its own subdirectory on your website (e.g. http://example.com/blog/), create the blog directory on your server and upload the contents of the unzipped WordPress package to the directory via FTP.

  • Note: If your FTP client has an option to convert file names to lower case, make sure it’s disabled.

5. Run the WordPress installation script by accessing the URL in a web browser. This should be the URL where you uploaded the WordPress files.

  • If you installed WordPress in the root directory, you should visit: http://example.com/

  • If you installed WordPress in its own subdirectory called blog, for example, you should visit: http://example.com/blog/

That’s it! WordPress should now be installed.If you are struggling, here is a very detailed guide at that will walk you through every step.
