I need help setting up WordPress!

[easiersaid]

I'm wanting to set up wordpress, and my hosting supports what I need to do. But I can't find out where to edit my site or how to enter html code. The navigation here isn't as helpful as i was expecting... can someone help me out?

what do you want exactly. Do you need help uploading Wordpress or going through the install? I've just done one, so it's still fresh in my mind.

If you have fantastico in your cPanel, just hit the 'do it now' button.

I didn't think of that but true, as everyone has fantastico enabled.

This link will take you straight to your cPanel's Fantastico and prompt for information to install Wordpress automatically:

go into admin cpanel of wordpress that you install on server and there you can add post widgets and plugins

yourdomain.com/wp-admin

is the default url for accessing the wordpress administration.

If you used fantastico / softaculous to install wordpress you should be able to find your account related data too.

If your question is in relation to the file structure and how to access your newly installed wordpress.

Your homepage and publicly accessible files are all stored in the

/home/your_username/public_html/

The public_html folder is where you will find your wordpress installation, or indeed where you need to upload adn extract wordpress if you are doing a manual install.

/public_html/Index.html would be your default homepage, but wordpress will be index.html.


There is an icon in your x10 cpanel called 'File Manager' that takes you to your above mentioned directories.

Hope this helps.
