How to install, migrate or relocate WordPress using Installatron Print

  • 0

 

This tutorial is designed to show you how to install a WordPress application from your cpanel. It will take only few minutes and literally no advanced skills to have a fully functional WordPress instance in your hosting account.

STEP 1

First, login to your cPanel account and then find the Installatron Applications icon. It should be located in the lower part of your cPanel page, right under the "Software" section.

 

STEP 2.

 

Once you click on the Installatron button, you will be redirected to the page where you have to chose the application you want to install. On the left side of your screen locate the "Content Management" category, and then click on the "WordPress" link that will appear.

 

STEP 3

 

On the next page, press the Install button at the top of your screen to specify that you want to perform a brand-new WordPress installation.

 

STEP 4

When you run the new install, it creates a database, installs files and runs the WordPress install to configure the site with the database. 

 

STEP 5.

Enter the required fields for your site - title, description, administrative username and password, administrative e-mail etc. and click on the "Install" button. Note that it is good practice to change the default username "admin" and default password "pass" to your own settings as admin and pass are targeted by hackers.

 

MIGRATE / RELOCATE A WORDPRESS INSTALL

To relocate a WP install you’re essentially just moving the site from one directory to another on the same hosting account.

This is a setting within TFHOST, you simply select the domain for the site you want to move, and the specify the new directory, or where you want it moved too.

 

When you’re migrating, you’re usually moving your site from a different hosting account or company to a new hosting account.

This process has a couple more steps and requires that you have the FTP login information for the hosting account where you are moving your site from.
