WordPress set up

 database is for WordPress

 So although we only enter in WP, the actual database name is going to be wordprz4_wp. Make sure to write down the database name because you will need it later. Next, you will be prompted to create a username. 

For our example we’re going to use WP user. However, you can select your own username. Note again that the final username will be the unique username for the server plus the database username you create. 

So in our example, the final database username is wordprz4_wpuser, not just WP user. cPanel offers a strong password generator which will auto generate a strong password. If you decide to make your own password, be sure it’s strong. If you choose a password with a low strength hackers will easily be able to guess your passwor compromising your database and potentially your site. 

Make sure to record the password somewhere because you will need it when going through the install script. In the final step you grant the user access to the database. Click the checkbox for all privileges. 

And then next step you should now have the following your database name your database username your database password and granted user privileges to the database.

 Now that we have our WordPress files uploaded to the server and our database setup we can move on to the last step of the installation process walking through the install script.

The WordPress install script is a series of pages where you select and set options for configuring WordPress. Once you have your files uploaded and database created you can access the install script by using your browser to go to the URL where you have the WordPress files uploaded.

In our example case, that is Word ,Press hosting example.com This will redirect you to the install page. First, select your language and click Continue. Next you’re presented with a screen asking for your database information. You should have all of these values from the previous steps so enter the information and click on the LET’S GO button to move forward. 

First, enter the database name, username and password we created earlier. The database host will likely be localhost and you can leave this value. The table prefix is something that you will want to change for security reasons. 

Make up something three to six characters followed by an underscore. For our demo we chose myexm_ as the table prefix. Once you have the form complete, click on Submit. It should take you to a screen that says it was able to connect to your database and is ready to run the rest of the install. Here click on ‘run the install’.

 In the final step, you enter in information about the WordPress site itself. Here, you can set the title for the site, which you can change later if needed. You will also choose a username and password to use to log into your WordPress site. This should be different information from your database username and password. 

Also, make sure to enter in the correct email address. WordPress will use this for password resets and site notifications. 

The Privacy checkbox adds the code to your site, like a robots.txt file that gives search engines instructions on whether or not to index content from your site. While building a site you should uncheck this.

 When you finish setting up your site and it’s ready for the general public you can update this setting under Settings reading search engine visibility. 

Note that unchecking this box will not make your site private or prevent people from visiting. It only requests that search engines do not visit the site.

 However as WordPress points out, it is up to search engines to honor this request. After completing the form, click Install WordPress, and you should see a final screen telling you WordPress is installed. 

You’ll also see your username and a link to login.
