Option 1.0 – Installing WordPress Manually

If you want to understand the basics of WordPress, you can install it manually. Installing WordPress takes only five minutes.

It’s straightforward and similar to installing any other software. Installing WordPress won’t be difficult if you’ve ever installed any computer program.

The following information is needed before proceeding:

• You can use an FTP client or a file manager
• with the latest version of WordPress

First, download the latest version of WordPress from the WordPress.org website.

Upon completing the download, you can upload WordPress files to your hosting account. Your hosting provider may provide you with a File Manager, or you may use an FTP client.

There is no difference in which tool you will use to upload WordPress files, besides ease-of-use. You should only consider the directory where you intend to upload the files.

If you wish to host WordPress on your primary domain name, you should upload the files to the public_html folder; if you wish to host WordPress from a subdomain or subfolder, you should upload the files to the directory you desire.

WordPress stores information in a database. A database must be created. In the MySQL Databases section on Hostinger and another provider, a new database can be created. Make sure you write down the database details because you will need them later.  

You can now begin the installation process by visiting your domain name. It will ask you to enter information about your MySQL database, your administrator details, and the site information.

Navigating the WordPress Dashboard

The first thing you should do after installation is log in to the WordPress administrator dashboard.

The login page is usually located on the front page of a WordPress blog. However, some themes don’t have this link. In this case, the easiest way to log into WordPress is to add wp-admin at the end of your website’s address, like this:

http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-admin 
http://sub.yourdomain.com/wp-admin 
http://www.yourdomain.com/blog/wp-admin 

You will be directed to the login page where you will need to enter the administrator’s username and password. When you installed WordPress, you entered these details. If you have forgotten your password, click the Lost your password link.
