The following article will show you the step-by-step guidelines to install WordPress using Softaculous:
1. Login to your cPanel.
2. Navigate to the Software Section >> Softaculous Apps Installer
3. On the Softaculous homepage, click on the WordPress icon.
4. Click on the Install tab to proceed.
5. Please fill out the form/ details for your Wordpress Installation.
- Choose the domain you wish to install the WordPress for.
- In the In Directory field - specify the root folder for WordPress installation. By default, this field is empty, and it allows installing WordPress on yourdomain.com directly. If you wish to install it to a subfolder, like yourdomain.com/blog, simply type "blog" in this field.
- Database Name can be left default.
- Table Prefix can also be left default wp_ ; however, due to security reasons it is better to change it - for instance, to ncwpsite_ .
- The Site Settings section should be filled out according to your needs, though you can change it anytime later if required.
Note: Make sure you set up secure and hard-to guess details in the Admin Account section.
6. When ready, scroll down and hit Install.
In a few moments you will see the message: WordPress has been successfully installed. :)
