The 5 minute WordPress install is famous. However, once installed there are still a fair few settings that you need to adjust to get your new website up and running. As promised here is my second updated WordPress guide. This guide is aimed at those going for a DIY install of WordPress. I will go over some basic safety tips and some recommendations for the best themes and plugins.
I won’t cover all of the installation steps, as most web hosts now offer a one click install, but I will give you some pointers to stop you making the most common mistakes. The majority of the guide is about configuring WordPress, installing themes and choosing plugins safely. I include my list of recommended plugins at the end.
Top Tip: Look out for the Leonie Jane cartoons. These are inserted next to Top Tips. I highlight little features of WordPress that are extra useful or often missed.
