How to install WordPress with one click

~3 min read

The WordPress 1-click installer downloads WordPress, creates the database, configures wp-config.php, and sets up permalinks — all in about 2 minutes.

Before you start

  • Application already created with a domain name
  • Stack (Nginx + PHP + MySQL) installed on the server

Steps

  1. 1

    Open the application and click Installers

    Open your application, then click the "Installers" or "1-Click Install" tab.

  2. 2

    Select WordPress

    Click the WordPress tile.

  3. 3

    Fill in WordPress details

    Enter your site title, admin username, admin email, and admin password. These become your WordPress admin login credentials.

  4. 4

    Click Install

    Click "Install WordPress". The installer downloads WordPress, creates a database and user, writes wp-config.php, runs the WordPress installer, and configures Nginx rewrite rules. Takes ~2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Visit your site

    Once complete, visit your domain. The WordPress site should load. Log in at yourdomain.com/wp-admin with the credentials you entered.

  6. 6

    Install SSL

    Immediately after installation, go to the SSL tab and issue a free certificate. Then enable "Force HTTPS" to avoid mixed-content warnings.

Watch out

  • The installer overwrites everything in the document root. Only run it on a fresh, empty application.

Tips

  • After installation, install a security plugin (Wordfence or iThemes Security) and a caching plugin (WP Rocket or W3 Total Cache) as your first priority.
  • Use the WordPress Tools section (in the app's Control tab) to change the admin password, flush cache, or reset the database without SSH.
