WordPress Installation

 Hello friends, today I will try to explain how to set up a blog with WordPress, enjoy reading.

First, download the necessary WordPress file by clicking here.

Let’s upload all the folders inside the file we downloaded to our server or to the folder on our localhost.

I had created a virtual host inside the wamp server, so I am putting it in that folder.

WordPress Folder

After uploading the files to our folder, what we need to do is enter our website address and complete the installation, since our virtual host address is 127.0.0.2, I click on this address and go to the installation page.

Welcome Screen

When we first enter the site, we are greeted by a welcome screen and it gives us some information, here click on the "let's start" button and move to the next page.

Database information entry screen

Then we are greeted by a screen where we need to enter the necessary information to connect to the database, here we need to enter the information completely.

In order to enter information on this screen, first we need to add a database for WordPress with phpmyadmin or any database management tool.

Let's create a database

We go into our database and create a new database called WordPress. (It should be UTF-8.)

Let's enter the database information

Now, let's enter the information such as login/database name about our database on WordPress and click the "submit" button.

Now, on the screen that appears, click on the "run the installation" button.

Run the installation

When we say run the installation, a page appears asking us to fill in information about the site, here fill in information such as your own user account's email address completely and continue with the installation.

When the WordPress installation is complete, a page displaying success appears and this means your WordPress site setup is complete.
