Overview<\/h2>\n

WordPress\u00ae, a web-based content management system, allows users to easily create a website or blog. This document describes how to install WordPress on your cPanel account.<\/p>\n

Install WordPress<\/h2>\n

Install WordPress from WordPress Toolkit<\/h3>\n

In cPanel & WHM version 92 and newer, users can install WordPress through the WordPress Toolkit interface.<\/p>\n

For instructions on how to install WordPress through WordPress Toolkit, read Plesk\u2019s WordPress Toolkit documentation.<\/p>\n

Install WordPress from WordPress Manager<\/h3>\n

In cPanel & WHM version 70 through 90, users can install WordPress through the WordPress Manager interface.<\/p>\n

For instructions on how to install WordPress through WordPress Manager interface, read our WordPress Manager documentation.<\/p>\n

Install WordPress as Site Software<\/h3>\n

In cPanel & WHM version 90 and earlier, users can install WordPress as a cPAddon with cPanel\u2019s Site Software<\/em> interface (cPanel >> Home >> Software >> Site Software<\/em>).<\/p>\n

To install WordPress as a cPAddon, perform the following steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Navigate to cPanel\u2019s Site Software<\/em> interface (cPanel >> Home >> Software >> Site Software<\/em>).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    To receive a notice via email when the hosting provider installs WordPress, click here<\/em> after the You currently are set to receive a notice when updates for your installs are available<\/em> text.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Click WordPress<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    Enter the requested information.<\/p>\n

      \n
    • To install WordPress directly into a domain\u2019s document root, leave the installation URL\u2019s path blank. This may overwrite any files already in the document root.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n

      Click Install<\/em>.<\/p>\n

        \n
      • If your hosting provider moderates requests for WordPress installation, click Submit Moderation Request<\/em>.<\/li>\n
      • Enter a note for your hosting provider, and click Submit Request<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
      • \n

        When the WordPress installation finishes, use your web browser to view the location that you entered in Step 4.<\/p>\n

          \n
        • For example, if you installed WordPress in the http:\/\/example.com\/wordpress\/<\/code> directory, browse to the http:\/\/example.com\/wordpress\/<\/code> URL.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          If WordPress is not<\/strong> available as a cPAddon, users can ask their hosting provider to add it, or they install WordPress directly themselves. For more information, read the User installs WordPress Manually section below.<\/p>\n

          \n
          Note:<\/div>\n
          \n

          The WordPress Manager interface (cPanel >> Home >> Applications >> WordPress Manager<\/em>) allows you to manage the WordPress installations on your cPanel account. The WordPress Manager<\/em> interface only<\/strong> manages WordPress installations that you create with the RPM-based WordPress<\/em> cPAddon.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

          Install WordPress Manually<\/h3>\n

          If your hosting provider does not offer WordPress as a cPAddon, you can manually download WordPress from the WordPress website and install it on your site.<\/p>\n

          For more information, read installation instructions from WordPress and their cPanel-specific instructions on how to create a database for WordPress.<\/p>\n

          Manual installations may encounter issues due to conflicting .htaccess<\/code> files or database connection errors:<\/p>\n

          \n
          Note:<\/div>\n
          \n

          In the following examples, the following statements are true:<\/p>\n

            \n
          • \n

            example.com<\/code> represents the domain name.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          • \n

            example<\/code> represents the account name.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          • \n

            subdomain<\/code> represents a subdomain\u2019s directory.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          • \n

            addon.com<\/code> represents an addon domain name.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

            Document root issues<\/h4>\n

            Due to potential conflicts in the .htaccess<\/code> file, do not<\/strong> configure multiple WordPress installations to share a single document root. If you experience difficulties with WordPress, check the following requirements:<\/p>\n

              \n
            • \n

              Each cPanel account user can host only<\/strong> one installation of WordPress in the document root directory.<\/p>\n

                \n
              • \n

                The following are examples of document root directories:<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

              • \n

                \/home\/example\/public_html\/<\/code><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

              • \n

                \/home\/example\/public_html\/addon.com<\/code><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

              • \n

                \/home\/example\/public_html\/subdomain<\/code><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

              • \n

                Each directory may only<\/strong> contain one WordPress installation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

              • \n

                If the subdirectories are not a document root, cPanel account users can install additional WordPress installations in subdirectories under the domain\u2019s home\/example\/public_html directory.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

              • \n

                The following examples demonstrate installations that use the wordpress subdirectory:<\/p>\n

                  \n
                • \n

                  Under the document root for the main domain: \/home\/example\/public_html\/wordpress<\/code><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

                • \n

                  Under a subdomain: \/home\/example\/public_html\/subdomain\/wordpress<\/code><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

                • \n

                  Under an addon domain: \/home\/example\/public_html\/addon.com\/wordpress<\/code><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                  For more information, visit the WordPress website.<\/p>\n

                  Database connection errors<\/h5>\n

                  If WordPress returns a database connection error, ensure that the database\u2019s name and password in the wp-config.php<\/code> file are identical to the database credentials in your account.<\/p>\n

                  For a document root installation, the wp-config<\/code> file exists in the \/home\/username\/public_html<\/code> directory, where username<\/code> represents the cPanel account name.<\/p>\n

                  To change the database\u2019s username or password, use cPanel\u2019s MySQL Databases<\/em> interface (cPanel >> Home >> Databases >> MySQL Databases<\/em>).<\/p>\n

                  \n
                  Note:<\/div>\n
                  \n If your hosting provider installed the new RPM-based WordPress cPAddon, you can use cPanel\u2019s WordPress Manager<\/em> interface (cPanel >> Home >> Applications >> WordPress Manager<\/em>) to update your WordPress database user\u2019s password.\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                  To test a username and password combination, run the following command (where db_user<\/code> represents the database\u2019s authorized username):<\/p>\n

                  \n
                  mysql -<\/span>u db_user -<\/span>p<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
                  After you enter the command, enter the user\u2019s password. The system will respond with a success or failure message.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
