In short:<\/strong> To install WordPress manually: download<\/strong> it from wordpress.org, create a MySQL database<\/strong> and user in cPanel, upload<\/strong> the WordPress files to public_html (or a subfolder), then open yourdomain.com\/wp-admin\/setup-config.php<\/strong>, enter the database details, and complete the installation.<\/div>\n

WordPress is the most popular website platform in the world, loved for its simple interface and huge choice of themes and plugins.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Download WordPress<\/h2>\n

Download the latest version from wordpress.org<\/a> (or the Arabic edition from ar.wordpress.org<\/a>). Extract the .zip file; you will get a wordpress<\/strong> folder containing the files.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Log in to cPanel<\/h2>\n

See how to log in to cPanel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Step 3: Create a database<\/h2>\n

In cPanel, create a new MySQL database and a database user, and give the user all privileges on the database (see how to create a database and assign a user<\/a>). Save the database name, username and password; you will need them during installation.<\/p>\n

Step 4: Upload the files<\/h2>\n

Decide where to install WordPress: in the main folder (example.com<\/strong>) or a subfolder (example.com\/blog<\/strong>). For the main site, upload to public_html<\/strong>; for a subfolder, upload to that folder. Upload with FTP<\/a> or cPanel File Manager<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong> upload the files inside the wordpress folder, not the folder itself.<\/p>\n

Step 5: Run the installer<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Open the installer in your browser: https:\/\/example.com\/wp-admin\/setup-config.php<\/strong>, or https:\/\/example.com\/blog\/wp-admin\/setup-config.php<\/strong> for a subfolder (replace example.com with your domain).\n

  2. Click Let’s go!<\/strong>, then enter the database name, username and password you created, and click Submit<\/strong>.\n

    \"\u0627\u062f\u062e\u0627\u0644<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. On the success page click Run the installation<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  4. Fill in your site title, admin username, password and email, then click Install WordPress<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  5. Log in at example.com\/wp-admin<\/strong> with the details you entered.\n

    \"\u0627\u062f\u062e\u0627\u0644<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This is what the WordPress dashboard looks like after installation:<\/p>\n
