To install WordPress using the DirectAdmin panel, follow these steps:
Step 1: Log in to your DirectAdmin control panel using your credentials.
Step 2: Once logged in, locate and click on "Softaculous Apps Installer" or a similar option. This section allows you to install various applications, including WordPress.
Step 3: In the Softaculous Apps Installer section, search for "WordPress" or navigate to the WordPress option.
Step 4: Click on the "Install" button to start the WordPress installation process.
Step 5: Configure the installation settings: Choose the domain on which you want to install WordPress.
Step 6: Specify the directory where you want to install WordPress. If you want to install it in the root directory, leave this field empty.
Step 7: Set an admin username and password for your WordPress site.
Step 8: Enter a valid email address for administrative purposes.
Step 9: Choose a language for your WordPress installation. Optionally, you can customize other settings such as the site title, description, and enable/disable plugins.
Step 10: Click on the "Install" button to initiate the installation process. Wait for the installation to complete. Softaculous will set up the necessary files and configurations for WordPress.
Once the installation is finished, you will see a success message with the login details for your WordPress admin account.
Access your WordPress site by visiting the domain where you installed WordPress. For example, if you installed it in the root directory of your domain, you can access it by visiting "http://yourdomain.com" or "http://yourdomain.com/wp-admin" to access the admin dashboard.
Please note that the specific steps and options may vary slightly depending on your hosting provider and the version of DirectAdmin being used.
