How to install WordPress manually through Cpanel?

Hello Everyone.

This article is a step by step guide to install WordPress manually on your site through Cpanel.

Now you might ask, Why would you install it manually? when I can use the auto installer. Offcourse auto-installer is a great feature which reduces our effort.

These installers work great in many cases, but often stuff your site full of unwanted plugins and themes. In addition, these automated tools have a reputation for timing out or being completely unavailable at times, which can be frustrating if you’re on a deadline.

Also by doing manual work you get a better understanding of the system.

So, let’s start.

Wp manual installation: Steps.

Step 1: Download WordPress.

To be able to use WordPress CMS, you would need to download it from the official WordPress site. (WordPress.org)

Step 2: Upload WordPress.

Upload the downloaded package to your hosting account. This can be done in the following three ways:

Uploading via File manager. Within the File Manager, locate and navigate to that directory. From the toolbar of the cPanel, select “Upload” and browse for the file you downloaded from WordPress.org.
Uploading via FTP (file transfer protocol).
Uploading SSH (secure socket shell).

Step 3: MySQL DataBase.

Create a MySQL database and user. For storing the data you will need to create a database which can be done using the below procedure.

Login to your Cpanel.
Under the database section, select the MySQL database wizard.
Create a Database and enter the database name. Click Next Step.
Create Database Users and enter the username and password. Click Create User.

Step 4: Connect WP to DataBase.

Now is the time to connect the database with WordPress. In order to do that fill up the details form step 3 in WordPress too.

On starting WordPress it will ask for important details to connect the database.
Enter the database username.
Enter the database password.
Choose the Database Host. You can get this info from your web host.

Submitting all this will connect your database to WordPress account.

Step 5: Script installation.

The last job is to execute the installation script from the installation page. You can find the script using either of the below URLs:

http://yourdomain.com/wp-admin/install.php
http://yourdomain.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php

That’s it. You have successfully installed WordPress to your site. Enjoy the best wp themes and plugins now.

I hope that this article may have helped you. We may talk about Softaculous in the near future so stay tuned.

Thank You.

How to add file paths in src attribute inside img tag

Hello Everyone.

This topic is pretty important because if you got this wrong, you won’t be able to show any images on your web page.

After uploading your HTML file & images you have to provide correct path for img src attribute

In the previous article, we saw ‘How to upload files and images to your web hosting.‘ You can think of this article as a continuation to that one.

So, let’s see ‘How to add file path in src attribute inside img tag?’

Src attribute inside image tag:

Double click on your uploaded HTML file. It will open the code of your HTML file.
Now look for all the image tags in your code. (You can find it by “Ctrl + F” keyboard shortcut.)
Now in the src attribute add/change the image path and save.
Correct image path has been added/changed.

How to locate the correct path of the image?

Go to the uploaded image and click on view. You will be redirected to the URL where that image lies.

Copy that URL and paste it in the src attribute of your img tag. (step 3 in the previous section.)

if you have uploaded images directly to Public_html folder then you have to write src attribute as follows: img src=”imagename.jpg”
or if you created a separate folder for images then you have to write src attribute as follows: img src =”foldername/imagename.jpg”

If your image and HTML folder lies in the:

The same folder than src attribute goes this way – “./imagename.jpg”

Another folder than src attribute goes this way – “../foldername/imagename.jpg”

Top CMS out there in 2018.

CMS:

A content management system is a software that helps us to manage our content and site.

You can literally manage everything from a blog to an e-commerce site, using CMS. You can manage an article if you have a blog, or manage your product if it is an e-commerce business.

It has made our life so easier that we just can’t imagine having a site without CMS. You can operate most CMS out there even if you have no prior technical knowledge.

Today we are going to talk about the top CMS in 2018, there features, flexibility and specifications because that’s what they are known for.

So, without any further delay let’s begin.

Top CMS:

WordPress: This one goes without saying. Probably the best one out there. WordPress can make almost any kind of site either it is a blog, a real state site or an e-commerce. It can make anything under the sun. WordPress is the framework behind many of the websites and blogs you visit every day, including this one. Few of the key features are responsive design, social sharing features, multiple page styles, auto upgrade, and standard compliant coding. The one thing that makes it a CMS beast is plugins.
Joomla: Joomla is a popular Content Management System. It is much more than just a powerful content management system. Besides, hundreds of extensions to enhance the functionality of any Joomla website, Joomla itself includes some powerful built-in features (or core features). Many times ranked as the 2nd best CMS after WP. Few key features are Rss, media manager, web links, search, banner management and, user management.
Drupal: Drupal 8 takes an already terrific content management framework to ever greater heights for users, administrators, and developers. There’s a seriously sharp focus on user-friendliness, but the content presentation, new ways to create data structures, build APIs, multilingual capabilities, and the delivery of mobile accessibility out of the box? Drupal 8 brings those to the table too. Few of the features are mobile first, multilingual ready, loading speed, javascript automated testing.
Magento: Specific to make an e-commerce site. The large array of features is one of the main benefits of Magento. Through them, you can easily develop and manage a successful online store. Magento features like different payment engines and shipping options along with the international support and high security using an SSL certificate will make your shop an attractive place for e-commerce. The core features are checkout payment and shipping, analytics and reporting, marketing and promotional tools, and order management.
OpenCart: OpenCart is an open-source shopping cart built on PHP/MySQL code. Distributed as a free eCommerce solution, OpenCart is a very user-friendly and effective platform that comes with a very intuitive and well-designed user-interface as well as a higher selection of extensions. Perfect for small businesses and medium-sized e-commerce stores, OpenCart is loaded with all the basic functions a user would need from an e-commerce solution. Main features are, Product Reviews, Product Ratings, open source, multi-currency, automated image resize, 20+ payment gateways, and 8+ shipping methods.

One honorable mention is WIX. Very user-friendly having drag and drop interface.

SO, these were the top of 2018 CMS. You should choose one according to your needs. Keep visiting for such more articles.

Thank You.

WordPress.com v/s WordPress.org : The difference.

WordPress:

The most popular CMS, yet there is one thing that keeps on confusing the newbies. And that is the difference between wordpress.com and wordpress.org.

I myself have been confused about the difference, which once made me choose the wrong one. (as per my needs.)

But I don’t want this to happen with you, hence here is an article to clear this thing out.

What’s the difference:

The very first difference is in the domain extension.

.org – organization (free for everyone)

.com – commercial.

This isn’t a hard and fixed rule, but you got the context.

The major difference:

The major difference is “who is hosting your site?” In wordpress.com your site is hosted by WordPress, whereas in wordpress.org you are hosting your site via a hosting provider.

WordPress.org

The WordPress software, located at WordPress.org, is a free, open source content management system. To use the WordPress.org software, you need to install it on a web server. And that’s the key difference between WordPress.com vs WordPress.org.

If you download WordPress from WordPress.org, YOU host it. You set it up with your own hosting provider and use it on your own website, which gives you a ton of flexibility. This is why WordPress.org is often also called self-hosted WordPress.

WordPress.org has much better customization options. You’re able to install plugins, use custom website themes, and do just about anything you want with your site. You can also monetize your website however you want, which is great if you’re planning to make it a business.

WordPress.com

WordPress software located at wordpress.com is a blog website platform. This doesn’t need to be downloaded. You can have your site running right away just by signing up on the wordpress.com.

This is limited but free as long as you are ok with their branding. And if you want to the domain of your choice, pay for it. No plugin is allowed with a free version.

With .com you won’t be able to install your own “plugins” or “themes” unless you pay for the expensive business plan. Plugins and themes are one of the most helpful things about the WordPress software because they make it easy to customize your site, so that’s a pretty big loss.

The final note:

Go with wordpress.org, if you want the best options and full control over your site.

I hope this was helpful to you. Thanks for reading.

Thank You
