How to Install WordPress Plugins With Your cPanel
Most plugins only require the easy install. However if you have bought a plugin or if you have a special plugin you will need to install it via your cPanel. This is the “”back office”” as set up by your web-host, like Blue Host or Host Gator, and where you probably installed WordPress.
Have you downloaded your WordPress plugin?
First you need to download your WordPress plugin. If you have bought it, they should have sent you a download link. If the plugin is part of a membership site, they have it on their site somewhere.
Has the plugin passed qualifications?
Make certain it is a quality plugin that is not going to cause problems. It could cause problems with WordPress, for your readers or otherwise. Thus you want to check any plugin against a qualification list.
Do you know what your cPanel is?
Once it passes, you will need to log in to your cPanel. When you signed up with your webhost, you should have been given a special page or site on your webhost where you log in. The cPanel is basically your back office, and gives you the site owner access to a variety of different tools.
Where is the File Manager?
Towards the bottom you should see a box that says something like Software and services. Look for “”File Manager,”” this will allow you to upload the plugin with relative ease. Once in the File Manager, make certain you are in public_html.
How do I find my WordPress site?
Next you will need to search for the name of your blog. You may or may not see “”.com”” or anything after the name. If your blog is a sub/directory under a name like example.com/blog/ you will need to click plus sign for “”example”” then plus sign for “”blog.””
Where will I upload this WordPress Plugin?
Now click plus sign for the file called “”wp-content”” Click the file “”PlugIns”” in that file will be some pre-installed plugins. Go toward the top. Click Upload, browse and upload in the new window.
Is my WordPress plugin installed now?
Go back to your “”File Manager”” page. You may need to refresh, then you should see your plugin name with a box beside it. Click the name to highlight it. Then look for “”Extract”” a box icon. You should see a blue file with the name of your plugin. Log out of your cPanel. Now when you log in to your WordPress account you should be able to find your plugin and activate it.
How To Install WordPress Onto Your Website

How To Install WordPress Onto Your Website
In this article, I will be showing you step by step how to install WordPress onto your website.
Now, before we continue, let’s talk a little bit about WordPress. Until recently, I was exclusively building websites the old fashion dirty hands way. Not only did I find it excruciatingly difficult to design, it took up so much of my time and learning. Thankfully, none of us have to go through that stage anymore, as WordPress makes it so much easier and simpler to create high quality blogs that look and feel just as good as a website designed by a professional web designer.
Today all I need to do to come up with high quality blogs is to simply work with WordPress, and at my disposal, I’ll be able to add blog posts, change the look and feel of my website, add plugins that increase the value of the site and this can all be done with WordPress alone. It’s a very neat platform used by nearly all bloggers online. It’s very popular and if you haven’t tried it, you can find out what it’s all about by simply installing it to your website.
Here’s a step by step guide on how to install WordPress:
Step 1. Log into your “”website hosting account”” control panel
In the following tutorial, I’m going to make a very bold assumption and assume that your hosting company is with HostGator. If you’re not with HostGator, that’s okay, most hosting companies are very similar and should have all the features similar if not the same to HostGator.
So anyways, we are going to be installing WordPress through HostGator’s “”admin control panel””. To get to the control panel simply go to your web browser and type in, “”www.[yourwebsitename].com/cpanel””.
Next, you should be taken to a login page. Enter the username/password according to the email HostGator has sent you via email.
Step 2. Click on Fantastico De Luxe
Now that you have the admin control panel in front of you, go ahead and scroll down all the way to the bottom where under software/services you should see a little blue smiley face icon that has under it “”Fantastico De Luxe””.
By the way, if it’s your first time inside HostGator control panel, you might feel there are just so many icons everywhere. Don’t worry too much about them, although HostGator does offer a lot of options for you to use, the truth is there’s only really a couple of them that are important. So you don’t need to absolutely know everything at this stage.
Onward.
Step 3. Under “”Blogs”” click on “”WordPress””
You’ll be taken to a white background page. Here you’ll find all sorts of different scripts and programs you can add to your website. Since, we are only interested in installing WordPress, go ahead and click on the “”WordPress”” link (It’s under Blogs).
Step 4. Install WordPress
Click on “”New Installation”” and it will take you to a page asking for your website details. It will ask you stuff like, where do you want to install WordPress, login information, website details. Simply fill them in. Make sure you leave the “”Install directory”” box empty. All it is, is that it simply wants to know whether you want to install WordPress under your domain name and not any other extensions, in our case, we do so we’ll just be leaving it blank.
The other stuff you should be able to fit in accordingly to what sort of topic of interest you’ll be discussing. It doesn’t have to be absolutely perfect, besides most of these details you can change at a later stage anyways.
Once you’re done filling in the details, you’re pretty much finished. Click on “”install WordPress””. Then click on “”Finish Installation””
Step 5. Accessing WordPress Control Panel
So there you have it, you have just installed WordPress onto your website. Cinch huh? I told you it was easy. But hey, one more thing, you’re not finished yet, there’s one more thing you got to know. So now that you have installed WordPress, how do you go about customize your blog, adding content and all other devilish things you might want to add? Everything you need to know to change the look and feel of your website is done inside “”WordPress Admin”” (or wp-admin for short), you can access it by typing into your browser “”www.[yourwebsitename].com/wp-admin”” then enter your username/password. You’ll be then taken to the admin page where you’ll be able to do everything from posting up content, changing themes, adding plugins… There’s a lot of stuff in here, and it takes time to get accustomed to all the different options you have. My suggestion is to play around for a bit… Just to get a feel for WordPress and how to go about doing certain things.
That’s it for this mini tutorial, if you are reading up to this part, I’m assuming you have successfully installed WordPress to your website. Like I said earlier it’s very simple and easy. Anyone can do it, but more importantly you’ll be able to come up with quality website blogs very easily. So I urge you to play around with it, get a feel for it and sooner or later once you get the hang of it, you’ll be able to customize and build high quality websites that really stand out in a matter of moments. Take care and stay tuned for future articles.

The 3 Pages That Should Be On Every WordPress Website to Increase Its Effectiveness
By Randy R on February 26, 2012 in !Randy Roedl Internet Marketing, affiliate marketing, wordpress, Wp Headers, Wp Themes
The 3 Pages That Should Be On Every WordPress Website to Increase Its Effectiveness WordPress has come a long way in its journey to become the #1 blogging platform out there today. As the features and functionality have increased over time, the possibilities for what can be done with WordPress as a website solution have increased. With today’s features, WordPress can be used to create an entire site in most cases in addition to just a blog. This article discusses which pages should be created in any WordPress blog. The 3 Pages That Should Be On Every WordPress Website to Increase Its Effectiveness
1. Landing Page or Home Page The landing page or home page, depending upon the type of web site, is critical in being able to convert your visitors to taking a specific action. It is very difficult to do that with blog entries as the home page. When people land on your blog home page, they usually land on a page with a lot of content and nothing really directing them to do anything. If any of your blog titles happens to catch their attention, then when they click on a specific post, you may be able to convert that into an action, but only if your post is written up to do just that. If not, then you will just have a reader who may or may not come back to your site. Having a landing page will allow you to prepare the visitor and guide them through the site the way you want them to go. 2. Contact Us Page WordPress makes it easy to put a contact us form on your website that will get emailed back to you when the visitor submits the form. There are a few ‘contact us’ plug-ins that give the website owner a lot of flexibility in getting the kind of feedback that will be most beneficial to them. One of the contact form plugins that gives a lot of flexibility in creating great forms called ‘Contact Form 7’. The 3 Pages That Should Be On Every WordPress Website to Increase Its Effectiveness.
The benefit of having a contact form instead of your email is it is easier to manage communications, you can outsource your customer support much more easily and you can guide the visitor much better with the information you need from them so you can better serve your visitors, prospects and customers. 3. Blog Postings Page If you are going to have a WordPress website, then you should have a blog as well. WordPress is a blogging platform so it pretty much comes with the territory. In this case, you will need to create a separate page to direct the blog postings to. When setting up the blog page, you will need to be sure to label it something that is very clear and enticing if you want your visitors to read your blog postings. Labels like ‘Blog’, ‘Articles’ and ‘Content’ are fairly popular. This is the name that will be on the navigation link for that page as well. This is why it is important to make it something that is easy for visitors to understand. Creating an entire website from WordPress is easy to do with the latest versions of WordPress. It is very easy to create the basic pages that will allow a small business owner to get a website up and running very quickly. Having a landing page, a contact us page and a blog page is a great foundation to build from. Once that foundation is there, additional pages and features can be easily added.

Become a WordPress Pro
WordPress is my website platform of choice nowadays. I find it extremely easy to use and with so many templates or themes to choose from and I do not need to ever hire a web designer.
Add a few SEO plugins and you really have a powerful website. Yes, I said website. I use WordPress as a blogging platform and also as a website.
What I try to do is look through the thousands of templates until I find a theme that looks more like a static site. Then I go into the CSS and customize is just a little to make the theme a little different then the original.
When I want to add content I usually use the page feature. I add my content to a page instead of a post. Maybe each of my sites will have ten or 15 content pages. Then I go into the Options>Reading panel in the Administration area and change one of my pages to a static front page. And presto. I have a nice static website.
Now, if I want to also add a blog on the site, I will just post normally and I have a combination website and blog all rolled into one. The really nice advantage is that I can update anything instantly and I don’t need a html editor. I like this feature because I travel a lot and sometimes use other computers instead of my own. With WordPress I always have a way to update my web sites fast and easy.
For those that don’t know how to set up a WordPress site it is very easy. All you need to do is go to your cPanel of your website. Scroll to the bottom and select the smiling icon called “”fantastico””.
Select WordPress from the navigation bar on the left and then select install. Fill in the data fields which consist of your administration name and password, the name of your website and a short description. All this can be changed in the WordPress Admin Panel once the site is live. Click the install WordPress button and you have your very own WordPress site.
Now all you need to do is add some content and you will have a great professional looking website that would have taking you a lot longer to build if you had to do it in html and especially if you are not skilled with coding.
