How to install CMS WordPress in the ISPManager panel

A content management system (CMS) is a website engine that lets you easily upload and edit content on your website yourself, without hiring any developers. With a CMS, you can easily add new pages, upload images, publish text, and update information.

In this article, we will describe how to install a CMS in the ispmanager panel. We will go with WordPress, one of the most popular CMS engines, as our example.

A CMS can be installed in the ispmanager panel in two ways:

• Right off the bat when creating the site, 
• Using web scripts if you did not choose a CMS when creating the site.

The easiest way to install a CMS in ISPManager is when creating a website

Here’s what the process of installing the CMS in ispmanager during site creation looks like in detail:

1. Go to the “Websites” section in the left side menu and create a website.
2. Fill in all the fields and choose WordPress in the CMS tab.
3. Click the “Next” button – that’s it, your site is ready.
   

Let’s log in to the WordPress admin area. To do so, add /wp-admin (or /wp-login.php) to the domain in the browser address bar:

https://site.local/wp-admin or https://site.local/wp-login.php

This will open a form to log in to the WordPress admin area

Then, you can add content to the site

Installation instructions – Go to “Sites”. 

Select:

1. the desired site 
2. the right-most section of the CMS top menu 
3. the WordPress line
4. the Install button. It is easier to select this rather than Quick Install because this way, it is easier to save your admin login data.

Note! Copy and save your WordPress admin login details found in the Installation parameters step under Application Settings

WordPress is now installed on your site

Log in at https:/site.local/wp-admin with the username and password you saved from the Application Settings section.
