WordPress Installation

Before beginning the installation and configuring of your new theme, you must have WordPress installed. If you need to install WordPress then please visit: http://wordpress.org/download/. If you need any help with the installation , please refer to this guide: http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress.

Here is a brief step by step on how to install WordPress:

  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 MySQL user who has all privileges for accessing and modifying it.
  3. Upload 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/), create the blog directory on your server and upload WordPress 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.
  4. Run the WordPress installation script by accessing wp-admin/install.php in a 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
