How to Install WordPress in Plesk

As you are reading this, you are probably unaware of how easy it really is to install a web application such as WordPress. It really is just a few button clicks with Plesk.

  1. Login to the Plesk Control Panel
  2. Click on “web hosting”
  3. Make sure “php safe mode” is OFF
  4. Click on “Web Applications”
  5. Click “Install Web Application”
  6. Type “wordpress” and press “Search”
  7. Click “Install”
  8. Agree to the WordPress user license
  9. Select “document root” if you dont want wordpress in a sub directory
  10. Set the WordPress database password
  11. Set the WordPress admin password
  12. Enter your email address for admin notifications
  13. Enter your wordpress page title (can be changed later)
  14. Click “install”
  15. WordPress is now installed!

Ok, so there are 15 items in the list – really, it would have taken you longer to read the list than to install WordPress. Install WordPress now and see how easy it is, you can just delete it afterwards – and that’s just as easy as pressing one button!
