How Do I Install WordPress?

You can install WordPress on your hosting account in a few clicks, without uploading any files, using WP Toolkit in Plesk. Installation takes 1–2 minutes.

Step-by-step installation

1. Log in to your Plesk panel at https://yourdomain.com:8443 or from the service page in your client area.
2. Click WordPress in the left menu and press Install.
3. Leave the Installation path empty; WordPress is installed in your site's main folder.
4. Enter the site title, language, admin username, password and email address.
5. Click Install. When it finishes, you can log in to your site's dashboard at https://yourdomain.com/wp-admin.

For security

• Do not use admin as the username, and choose a strong password.
• Delete unused plugins and themes; keep WordPress, themes and plugins up to date.
• Take a backup before important changes.

Troubleshooting

The main folder contains a default page or old site files. Back up the old files and then delete them, or use the overwrite option on the installation screen.

The site does not open or shows an old page

A name server change can take 24–48 hours to propagate. Clear your browser cache and try again.
