(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
This is a WordPress reinstallation tutorial using cPanel.
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
I assume that you have already uninstalled WordPress.
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
If not, please check my “How To Uninstall WordPress And Start
Over” tutorial.
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
Open a new browser like Google Chrome.
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
This will open a new window
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
and bring you to your home page.
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
My home page is a new tab.
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
Your home page may be different than mine.
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
For example, it can be Google.com.
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
If it’s different, then open a new tab.
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
Click this to open a new
tab.
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
A new tab will open.
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
Go to your site’s cPanel/Control panel.
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
This is how mine looks
like.
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
Don’t know where your site’s cPanel/Control panel is?
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
Ask your host or better yet check your email.
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
Now enter your Username and Password.
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
Then click Log In.
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
It will show you something like this.
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
Scroll down at the very bottom.
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
Look for the SOFTACULOUS APPS INSTALLER section.
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
Look for WordPress under Scripts.
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
Click the WordPress logo.
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
This will bring you to the Softaculous library.
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
Softaculous automates the installation of web applications to
a website.
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
Aside from WordPress, Softaculous can install Joomla, Drupal, Magento and a lot more.
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
Before reinstalling WordPress,
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
make sure that you have the required available space.
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
Click Install Now to start reinstalling WordPress.
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
This will bring you to the Setup page.
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
Let’s take it one section at a time, shall we?
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
Software Setup
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
First, choose your protocol.
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
This is like the prefix of your domain on the browser’s address
bar.
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
Here’s an example.
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
Other choices from the drop-down are http://www. , https:// and
https://www.
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
If your site has SSL, choose either one of the HTTPS protocols
(https:// or https://www.)
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
What is SSL?
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
If you didn’t buy an SSL certificate from your domain provider or host
then just choose http:// or http://www.
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
Next, choose your domain from the drop-down.
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
If you only have one domain, then just leave it like that.
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
For the In Directory field,
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
type the name of a new directory you would like created.
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
For example, wp.
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
WordPress will be installed in http://mydomain/wp directory.
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
If you leave this blank,
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
WordPress will be installed in your main directory (http://mydomain/)
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
Site Settings
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com

Admin Account

Enter the Admin Username.
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
Pro Tip: Don’t use admin as the Admin Username
because every hacker knows this.
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
Next, enter a very strong Admin Password.
(c) Conversion-Focused VP | http://eleazarjose.com
