How to make your own wordpress Website<\/h2>\r\n

It is very easy to create your own wordpress website. You even did not required any web development experience. There are two ways to create a Web application.

Local Computer Or Localhost<\/h3>\r\n

You need to Download WordPress,<\/a> then extract it in htdocs (if you are using Xampp server) Or www(if you are using wamp server) folder of your local server. Now go to browser and open the url where you put your wordpress.\u00a0 E.g http:\/\/localhost\/wordpress<\/p>\r\n

On the next page the system will show some information and ask you to get the database info like Database name, Database username, Database password and Database server(Normally it is localhost) before going to next step.

On Hosting Server<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

There are two ways to install WordPress on hosting server. One with QuickInstall and second is manual.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Quick Install<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Quick Install is a popular way to install wordpress and many other Web application like Joomla, Drupal Etc. To Use QucikInstall to Install wordpress on your cpanel, First login to your Cpanel. Then in software section you will see Quickinstall or something like this depending on Hosting server..<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Click QuickInstall icon, it will take you to Quick Install page. Here you can select Software(WordPress, Joomla, Drupal) to install. Select WordPress and then Click Install WordPress.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In the next screen it will ask you to put some information.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Select your domain in drop down and write folder name in the second box. If you want to install wordpress in root directory then ignore second box. if you want your wordpress in sub-directory the write the folder name.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

other infomation is Email blog title username and password. Except Username all info can be change later inside wordpress.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

After putting this information click the submit button at the bottom. it will install the wordpress on your selected domain.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Manual Installation<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Manual installation is also one of the popular WordPress installation method. For manual installation you need FTP client software to upload worpdress files to hosting server. One of the popular FTP client Software is Filezilla<\/a>. Download and install it on your computer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Now you need to download latest version of Worddpress.org<\/a>. unzip the files.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Most server allow you to use cpanel login info to use in filezilla. if you Can’t login through filezilla with cpanel login info then you can create new FTP account inside cpanel.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Then open filezilla and put the ftp account info to login. It will ask for Host, Username and Password.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Ones you login through filezilla, then browse the unzip wordpress folder in left box in file zilla and select all files and folders. then upload it to the server. After uploading files to server go to cpanel and click MySql Databases<\/strong> in Databases <\/strong>Section.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

On the next page you will get the option to create a database. Just like in the below image. After creating database go back to the same page and you will see in databases list that database is created but no user is assigned to it. So now we need to create a User for the database. You need to add Username and password for a user. After creating user you need to assign that user to that specific database as shown in the image. After clicking Add<\/strong> Button, On the next page it will ask you to give PRIVILEGES to user. Select ALL PRIVILEGES and click button Make Changes<\/strong> at the bottom. Now user is successfully added to database.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Now you have Database Name, User Name Password and Host Name(mostly it is localhost otherwise server will tell you when you buy hosting.) So open the your website link in browser it will open the wordpress installation page. Next steps are just as we did on local Computer above.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
