Installing WordPress – How can I install WordPress or uninstall WordPress

Installing WordPress is easy:

  • A web server: if your blog will not get over 2000-3000 visitors daily, a shared web hosting will be enough. Choose linux hosting, not windows. If you choose windows hosting, you will get a small and ugly problem about permalinks.
  • Text editor: notepadd++ is perfect.
  • An Ftp Client: cuteftp, filezilla, etc.

Then,

  • Download the latest WordPress files from here,
  • Unzip the zip file, and upload the files into your web server,
  • Create a database for WordPress on your web server,
  • Visit your domain,
  • Fill in your details,
  • Copy the admin password in the last step,
  • Visit your admin panel and change your password.

That’s it. Only 5 minutes.

For a secure installation:

  • Upload the WordPress files into your web hosting by ftp client,
  • Rename the wp-config-sample.php file to wp-config.php
  • Open that file with an editor,
  • Fill in your database details,
  • Visit this page and copy the codes(they are random codes)
  • Replace these codes with the codes in wp-config.php (the codes start with define(‘AUTH_KEY’…) )
  • Change the $table_prefix. You can set it like this: $table_prefix  = ‘myb_’;
  • Visit your domain,
  • Enter the details,
  • Copy your admin password and visit your admin panel.

Do not change any chmod value.

If you have a problem about installation, you can simply uninstall the WordPress installation:

  • Delete all the files in your web server,
  • Delete your database.
