Complete guide to Install WordPress- suitable for all storage companies

Today, almost every self-respecting hosting company has the option to quickly install WordPress. If your storage does not have this option, our recommendation is to find another storage that allows for quick installation. For those of you who are not interested in installing WordPress through quick installation or for those of you who just want to know how to install WordPress manually keep reading this guide. It is important to clarify in advance that unlike quick installation, installing WordPress manually will be more complicated and it sometimes requires technical knowledge and experience working with the cPanel of storage.

Step 1 – Download WordPress installation in Hebrew

The first step in installing WordPress is to download the latest version of WordPress in Hebrew from the WordPress site. If you are interested in installing WordPress in Hebrew, you can download the installation of WordPress in the Hebrew version by following the link below: https://en.wordpress.org/download/ If you are interested in downloading WordPress in English and not in Hebrew, you can do so by following the link below: https://wordpress.org/download/ The file you download, whether in Hebrew or English, will be a ZIP file . Leave the file as it is because you will need to upload it later to the storage server.

Step 2 – Upload WordPress for storage

Once you have downloaded the WordPress installation file you will need to upload it to the domain hosting server where you want to install the WordPress site. In order to upload the installation to the storage server you will need to enter the storage management area (cPanel) and click on File Manager. After clicking on File Manager another window will open where you will have to click on the Go button. In the new window that opens, click the Upload button to upload the WordPress installation file to the storage server. In the next window, click on the Browse button and select the WordPress ZIP file that we downloaded in the first step from the WordPress site. Once you have finished uploading the file, go back to the File Manger page and extract the WordPress installation file that we uploaded for storage. Right-click on the installation file and select Extract. In the next window that opens, click the Extract Files button and wait for a new folder to be created with the WordPress installation files. Extracting the files in most cases will create another folder within which the files will be found. We will need to move the files back to the main folder of the domain and we can do this by entering the newly created folder, selecting all the files, right-clicking on the files and selecting the Move option. In the next window that opens you will delete the name of the folder created to move the files to the main folder of the domain or to the folder where you want the WordPress installation files to be found. Then click the Move File button. Now all you have to do is delete the ZIP file and the empty folder created after transferring the files.

Step 3 – Create databases for the WordPress site

The installation of WordPress requires the use of databases and in order to perform the installation we will need to open a user for the database, we will need to create a database and we will also need to give permissions to the database through the user we created. When you create a user and password you will keep the details aside because you will need them later in the process when you perform the initial installation of WordPress. Return to the cPanel of your storage server and click the MySQL Databases button. The first step will be to create the database. Under the heading of Create New Database enter the name of the database you want and click Create Database. The next step will be to create a username and password. Under the Add New User heading enter the username and password you want and click the Create User button. Now what we have left to do is give permissions to the new database we created under the new user we created. Look for the Add User To Database title and select the username you created and the database you created to set the permissions. Once you have selected the correct data you will click on the Add button. In order to grant permissions to the user in the database, check all the options in the window that opens (you can also click on ALL PRIVILEGES) and then click on the Make Changes button.

Step 4 – Install WordPress

The last step is to put the data we created (user and database) into WordPress so that the databases can be installed and so that we can start using the site. To complete the installation, go to the domain (website) to which you transferred the WordPress installation files. On the website you will see the following screen and click on the continue button. At this point you will need to insert the database data we set up in step 3 into the WordPress installation. Enter the name of the database you created in the database. In the username, enter the user of the database you created and below, enter the password you set for that username. Once you have entered all the data, click the Submit button. If you get an error, it means that you entered incorrect data and you will have to repeat step 3 again. If you succeed in this step, you will see an installation activation button, click on it and the installation of the database will begin. The last part of the WordPress setup process is entering the details of the site and entering a user and password with which you can log in to the WordPress site you have installed. Enter the details and then you will be taken to the WordPress login page.

Conclusions after setting up a WordPress site
