How to properly configure WordPress after installation on hosting. Setting Up WordPress: The Complete Guide

Hi all! After you have installed the WordPress engine on your hosting, you then need to perform several mandatory settings in the administrative panel. Therefore, in today's article, I will talk about basic WordPress site setup.

Before you start adding posts, customizing the theme, and installing the necessary plugins, you need to do some initial setup. If you do not do this, then in the future when creating your website, you may encounter various difficulties. Therefore, I ask you to take this seriously and read this material to the very end.

5 important steps after installing WP

Setting up the administrative panel screen
change general settings
correctly configure permalinks (CNC)
configure the wp-config.php file
change the username (login) of the administrator

When you first log into the site's admin panel, a whole bunch of different information elements appear in front of you. You will never need most of them, but will only get in the way and distract you. Therefore, for ease of work, they must be removed. To do this, go to the menu “ Screen Settings ", which is located in the upper right corner:

A pop-up panel will open in front of you, in which you need to uncheck items that should not be displayed in the admin panel. I usually leave only " Activity" And " On mind" Now you know where the screen display is configured and in the future you can change the settings as you wish.

Congratulations, we have completed the first step! Agree, now the appearance of the administrative panel is much nicer than it was before, when there were a lot of unnecessary and incomprehensible elements. Now you can move on to the second step.

General WordPress Setup

We continue to learn what basic WordPress site setup is. Here we need to change the general settings, for this we need to go to the tab Tinctures/Are common :

Fill in all the fields provided: Name site , brief description , addresses URL , email address. If you plan to register on your website, then opposite the item "Membership" check the box and select the role of the new user:

Next, select hourly belt , date format And format time . In point " First day weeks ", select Monday. Specify the language of the site and click on the button “ Save changes " Now, without leaving the tab « Settings » , go to the menu « Writing » :

Here in the paragraph " Formatting "Put a check mark next to the line" Convert V emoticons" and remove the check mark next to the inscription " WordPress must correct incorrect code " We leave the remaining points unchanged. At the very bottom we find the item “ Services updates " and insert the following addresses into its field:

Save the changes by clicking on the appropriate button. Next, go to the menu “ Reading ", which is located below. In point " On main page display » select the latest entries if you are creating a blog. If you are creating a website and want a certain page to always be on the main page, then select the statistical page. I won’t describe the remaining points, see the screenshot below and do everything the same as on it.

Next we go to “ Writing ", put a checkmark next to the line "Convert emoticons like and 😛 into pictures." This is not necessary; you don’t have to check this box. But you must admit, it’s much more beautiful and emotional when simple smiles in your posts and pages automatically become beautiful smiley pictures, for example like this

In the second paragraph, where it says “ WordPress should fix broken XHTML code automatically", remove the check mark. There are constant debates among webmasters on this point, some believe that the checkbox should be unchecked (I think so too), others that it should be checked. I hold this opinion for a reason and I know of many cases when this function did not work correctly.

Look at one example taken from the WordPress forum, one blogger writes:

“I mostly write news in HTML, try to use tags
And


, but after saving the entry WP changes them to
b
, accordingly, they do not work. How to stop WP from fixing HTML code? I looked for it, but couldn’t find it.”

So, now go to the “ Discussion " In point " Default article settings» remove the first two checkboxes. This is necessary so that incomprehensible comments (selfbacks) stop appearing when you refer to yourself in comments or when you put links to your other posts in articles. Then we do everything as in the screenshot below:

Setting up WordPress permalinks (CNC)

CNC - stands for human-readable URLs (links). This setting is worth paying special attention to, because it is very important from the point of view of website promotion in search engines. Now I will explain why. Default WordPress generates incorrect page links in the form of all sorts of strange symbols and question marks. For example, like this:

http:///post=1548&action

this, in turn, is not good from the point of view of SEO optimization. Search robots love it when links look nice, contain keywords and end in .html, for example, like this:

such links are understandable to people, easy to remember and have a normal, aesthetic appearance. To make all the necessary settings CNC, go to the tab Settings/ Permalinks . Select the item “ Arbitrarily " and paste the following code there:

/%category%/%postname%.html

That's not all. Displaying Russian characters in links is strictly unacceptable; they must contain only Latin letters or numbers. This problem can be solved very simply. Let's go to the tab Plugins/Add new :

In the search field enter Cyr to Lat enhanced and click " ENTER " In the search results we find the plugin we need and click on the button “ Install" After this, a message will appear that the plugin has been installed successfully.

For the plugin to start working, in the message that appears, click on the link “ A activate the plugin »:

Congratulations, now all links on your site will be displayed correctly, in English characters, as they should be from the point of view of SEO optimization. As you can see, the basic setup of a WordPress site is quick and easy, and now let’s move on to the next step.

Setting up wp-config.php

File wp-config.php is the heart of the WordPress engine. It contains all the important settings and parameters without which you can work W.P. simply impossible. After creating a site on WordPress, I always open its wp-config.php file and add two, from my point of view, very useful parameters there. The first parameter prevents the system from creating revisions:

define("WP_POST_REVISIONS", false);

Wordpress has the auto-save feature enabled by default for post revisions. When you write an article and save the result in a specific location, a save edition is automatically created in WP. For example, while writing an article, you made adjustments and saved it 5 times; accordingly, 5 previous articles with changes were created and saved in the database. These are conservation revisions. To see them, you need to save it several times when writing an article:

Why do I add a parameter to the wp-config.php file that prevents the creation of revisions? The fact is that creating revisions leads to clogging of the database, as well as to an increase in its size. Imagine if I write 20 articles on my blog and save each article 5-10 times while writing. At a minimum, after this my site will take a very long time and load poorly, and search engines will think: “ What a drag, we need to remove this web resource to the very bottom of the search results».

The second parameter is responsible for the general operating mode. It is very useful in situations when you are editing theme or plugin files and suddenly “ white screen of death" and the site completely crashes without warning. Thanks to this simple option, you can find out what the problem is and see all error messages. It looks like this:

define("WP_DEBUG", true);

To add these 2 parameters to your wp-config.php file, you need to go to the root folder of your site through an FTP client, for example, FileZilla or through the hosting file manager, whichever is more convenient:

Then open it and paste these two parameters somewhere at the bottom, as shown in the screenshot below:

Changing the admin login

The last and very important point in setting up WordPress is changing the administrator username (login). The fact is that when creating a website on W.P., everyone is assigned a login by default admin , this is what we enter when we log into the administrative panel of our website.

From a security point of view, this is a good opportunity for attackers to hack your web resource, since they already know the login (admin) and all they have to do is guess the password. Unlike the password, the username in the admin panel cannot be changed in the standard way. In the following articles, I will definitely tell you several ways to change your login. That's all for me today!

How do you like basic WordPress site setup? I will be glad if you share your secrets.

P.S. I will publish a lot of interesting and useful material soon! To be guaranteed to receive this material, subscribe to blog updates and receive it directly to your email. Subscribe to blog updates right now.

Today I will talk about how to properly set up a website on WordPress. The article will consist of two parts - How to set up a WordPress website for a beginner - a complete guide, part 1 and part 2. We will touch on the main parameters that should be changed after installing this engine. Be careful about the content of the article, there are a lot of images. For convenience, all necessary functions are numbered according to the sequence of actions. I think this presentation will be more convenient and informative for you.

If you have not yet installed this engine, then I recommend that you first read the available guide “. Accordingly, if you have everything “ Great“, then you can safely go directly to the manual itself for this CMS. Go!

The content of the article:

How to customize a WordPress site yourself

First, we need to log in to the admin panel. If you have problems logging in, use this article “.
Next on the left side of the screen is a large menu. It is in it that you will find the “Settings” tab we need. We will work with her. Click on it and you will see a drop-down menu.

General site parameters - name, description, address, user membership

6. Next come “Date and Time Zone” - they determine the display of time and date in accordance with the region in which you live. The date format value will appear in your articles. To change the time zone, you must select the time zone corresponding to your region in the drop-down menu. Below you can set the date format display add-ons.

After you have purchased a domain and ordered hosting, it’s time to configure WordPress. The blog cannot be used in its current form. You need to properly configure permalinks, select and install a theme (design), and connect all the necessary plugins.

All these settings are needed to ensure that the blog has a neat appearance both for future visitors and for search robots. Which will have a positive impact on further search engine promotion.

You also need to understand the console menu. The console is also called the “admin panel”. You may have noticed that there are quite a lot of additional settings in the admin panel.

To get to the blog admin area, you need to go to site.ru/wp-admin/. Replace site.ru with your domain name.

The main page contains basic information about the entire blog. From this page you can add an article, make basic theme settings, or see the latest comments made on an entry.

2. Updates

In updates you can see the current version of WordPress and whether it requires new updates. As soon as the developers release an update, you will see it in your admin panel.

Don't forget to update if you are asked to do so. This will protect you from hacking attempts by intruders.

3. Records. All entries

In this menu you can see all the recordings made over time. You can also see how many comments each article has received and what category it belongs to.

Hover your mouse over the article and a submenu will appear with which you can edit, go to, or delete the article.

If you didn’t change anything after installing WordPress, then you will already have your first test post. Point it at it and delete it. If you delete an entry by mistake, you can always restore it from the Recycle Bin. If the entries are no longer needed, do not forget to empty the trash.

3.1. Add new

Before you start publishing articles on your blog, you need to make a few very important settings. Make them in paragraphs 8.1 and 11.3. After you have set up permalinks, or as they are also called (CNC), you can start publishing articles.

The title is written at the top. It should not be too long and not too short. Once you enter the title below, a permanent link will appear. It will look like this if you install a special plugin, which is found in paragraph 8.1.

Below you will find tools with which you can format text, add pictures and place active links. If you are familiar with the Word program, then there will be no problems with this.

If this is your first time encountering such an editor, then watch video tutorials on YouTube on how to add an article to a WordPress blog. Once your article has been added and formatted, select or create a category for it. One article per category, remember this!

Upload a thumbnail, this is a small picture for your article. Such pictures support most themes. Once everything is ready, click on “Publish”. Now go to your blog's home page and see what your post looks like.

Working with pictures

When adding photos, try to always include the “Alt” attribute. If you use your photos, this will allow you to attract traffic from search engines from the “pictures” section.

2-3 words about what is shown in the picture itself are enough. If you don’t know what to write, it’s better not to write anything.

The photo can be aligned to the center or edge. If you have a large picture and you want it to open in full size when you click it, then select “link to media file”. If you need to redirect to another site, then use a custom url.

In the size setting you can set the size you want. Remember that the width of the blog itself is rarely more than 1000 pixels wide. I recommend setting it to full.

Make sure that all your photos have a name in Latin letters before uploading to your blog, for example, moy-dom.jpg.

3.2. Categories

This menu is intended for creating categories. For example, you have a blog on culinary recipes. The headings could be:

  • Salads
  • Snacks
  • Beverages

Write your category in the title. In the label, write the name of the same category, but only in Latin letters. You can also write it in Cyrillic, but I recommend doing it as in the example.

Rubrics may have subcategories. For example, “Salads” may include the following subheadings: “Chicken salads”, “Simple salads”, “Salad recipes for the winter”, etc. Subcategories can be created in the “Parent” menu.

Write 2-3 sentences describing your section. State the essence. Be sure to make it unique. This means that you must come up with this description yourself, and not copy it. Once all the fields are filled in, you can click on the “Add new category” button.

3.3. Tags

Tags are needed to make a large website more user-friendly. If you do not plan to create a large portal with many categories and subcategories, then it is better not to use tags.

4. Media files

In this section you will find all the photos that have ever been uploaded to the blog. You can also add a new photo to your library. We practically won’t need this menu, since you can add a photo to your article in section 3.1.

5. Pages

Do not confuse this section with posts! Such pages are needed mainly for information. For example, on my blog there are separate pages about the author and about the blog. You can create a page with your organization's contacts or any other information.

Now you have a test page. Look at it, try to edit it and then delete it.

In this section you will see all the created pages. If you need to create a new one, then simply go to the “Add New” menu and use the editor, as in menu 3.1.

6. Comments

Here you can see all the comments made by your users. Comments can be disabled, approved and edited.

7. Appearance. Themes

By default, WordPress provides 3 themes. Their design is so-so and rarely anyone uses them. You can see all three topics in this menu. There are a large number of sites on the Internet that offer free templates to download.

I recommend installing themes from the official WordPress store. Firstly, they are free, and secondly, they do not contain malicious code or viruses. To install a new template, just click on “Add a new theme”.

You will be taken to a section where you can select the topic that you like. Hover over any template and see what it will look like. You can select a topic by filtering the characteristics you need. Once the selection is made, click on install and activate.

Don't be afraid to put different themes. It is very difficult to find one that you like the first time. You can always delete all unnecessary topics at any time.

Free templates also have their downsides. They are poorly optimized for search engines.

Or you can immediately buy an inexpensive template for your project, which will eliminate all technical errors. Install the theme, customize it once and use it.

If you have any questions about setting up the theme, the Russian-language support service will always help you free of charge. I recommend choosing from these three templates.

Also in this section you can always change your password and email.

10. Tools

You can safely skip this section, there is nothing interesting here yet. When adding new plugins, some of them will be located here.

11. Settings. Are common

For some reason the most important menu is at the very end. Before you start publishing articles and creating new pages, you need to make settings.

Write the name of your site. The description should be short and clear. It should contain the entire essence of your niche. You can skip the brief description. If you have something to write, then fill it out. You can write some slogan.

WordPress address and website address. Here you can specify how your blog will be displayed. For example, with or without www. https or http. This is a very important parameter, be sure to fill it out.

If you registered a domain and hosting in my opinion, then you must have a secure https protocol certificate. So, set the settings as in the picture. Select the date and time format that you need. We skip the “writing” menu.

11.1. Reading

11.2. Discussion

In this section you can configure your blacklist. If you see that someone is leaving spam comments for you, you can blacklist them. It is enough to add an IP address, which can be seen in the comments or create your own list of stop words.

For example, if you add the words: www, http://, download, free, then such comments will not undergo automatic moderation. You can safely skip media settings.

11.3. Permalinks

One of the most important WordPress settings is located here. This is setting up permalinks. Check the “Custom” box and paste the following template there:

/%category%/%postname%.html

Yandex metrics

To find out how many people visit a blog, you need to install a special counter on it. This counter will show detailed information about the user. I recommend installing Yandex Metrica.

If you do not yet have mail from Yandex, then register it right now, it will take a few minutes.

Once you are inside, click on “Add Counter”.

Next, fill in: the name of the counter and the website address, check the box “I accept the condition”, create a counter. Check the box for web viewer and click save. Below you will see the counter code that needs to be installed.

Copy it and go to the admin area of ​​your blog as shown in the image below.

Find in the right column and click on “Header (header.php)”. Paste the copied code into the free space. It's better to do it where it ends.

Click update file. Return to the list of counters by clicking on “Counters”.

After a few minutes, the counter will update and turn green. If this does not happen, log out of your account and log in again.

Ready! After some time, the counter will record all visitors to your blog. Click on the name and you will be taken to the main menu.

If you want to understand all the capabilities of this tool, then refer to the manual.

robots.txt

If you don’t know what robots.txt is and what it is needed for, you can read it in the Yandex help. In order not to suffer and not compile it yourself, you can simply download it.

Don’t forget to correct your site in the file by replacing site.ru and site.ru/sitemap.xml with yours. Also enter http or https. Now you need to upload it to your server in the root folder where your blog is installed.

If you use Beget hosting, which I recommend, then you can download this file as follows. Log in to your hosting and click “File Manager”.

Find the folder with your site and go into it by clicking 2 times. You should see this:

Go to this folder by clicking 2 times. You are now in the root folder of your site. Now click "Upload Files" and "Browse..."

Select the file and click on the "Upload" button. The file has been uploaded to the site.

Now you can check. Enter the following query in the search bar: https://site.ru/robots.txt replace site.ru with your site. Also consider the meaning of https or http.

Registering a Domain. Setting up Hosting. Let's install a blog!


Order hosting and buy a domain >>>

Conclusion

Now your blog is completely set up and ready to go. Start filling it with quality articles for people. Start to slowly understand SEO (search engine optimization).

As soon as your blog reaches 500 visitors per day, then buy a unique theme. If you have any questions, be sure to ask them in the comments below.

Initial WordPress Setup - 5.0 out of 5 based on 5 votes

This tutorial will cover basic WordPress setup.

Without completing these initial settings, in the future, you may encounter certain difficulties when creating a blog.

Therefore, you first need to do the basic setup of WordPress, and then start adding notes, customizing the theme, installing and configuring the necessary plugins.

And so after you install the engine, you need to make the following WordPress settings:

#1. Setting up the screen and WordPress admin panel.

First, let's configure the display of individual elements of the WordPress control panel. When you log into your blog's admin panel, you will be presented with a large number of different dashboards. You won't need most of these blocks. Therefore, we disable those that are not needed. To do this, click on the link "Display Options" located in the upper right corner of the page.

As a result, a pop-up panel will appear on which you need to remove the birds from the opposite panels that should not be displayed in the dashboard.

If you set the settings as shown in the figure, then you will have two panels left: “Current blog status” and “Latest comments”, which are completely sufficient.

#2. Change general settings.

Next, you need to change the general settings of the blog. To do this, select the item at the bottom left "Settings" >> "General". Here you can change the name of the blog, the description of the blog, some themes provide the output of the description on the blog.

The next item that you need to pay attention to here is the “Membership” item. If you plan to use the visitor registration function on your blog, then check this item, and in the “Role of a new user” drop-down list, indicate the status of a registered user. Depending on the established status, the registered user will receive certain powers. In addition, you can specify the date and time format. After making all changes, click on the “Save Changes” button.

#3. Setting up permalinks (PLE) in WordPress.

Setting up CNC (human readable URLs) is a very important point in setting up a blog. In order to make the necessary settings, go to: "Options" >> "Permanent Links (NC)". By default, WordPress generates links for your blog pages that contain various identifiers and question marks, i.e. page links look like this:

http://localhost/wordpress/?p=1

Using these settings, we can make the address of the blog page take the following form:

http://localhost/wordpress/bez-rubriki/privet-mir.html

On the settings page, you can see several link formats that can be set. But we will set an arbitrary link structure. To do this, select “Custom structure”, and in the field next to it, insert the following structure: /%category%/%postname%.html

Now you need to enable transliteration of Russian URL characters into English ones. The thing is that when creating a new note, when you enter the title of the note, this title will be automatically substituted into the page address. But since your headings will be in Russian, Russian characters will be substituted into the page address, and this is not very good. Therefore, we need to install the Rus To Lat plugin, which will transliterate Russian characters into English automatically.

To install a plugin, click on the “Plugin” item and on the loaded page click on the “Add plugin” button.

Now in the “Search plugins by keyword, author or tag” field, enter the name of the plugin “Rus To Lat” and click on the “Search plugins” button.

Then, from the list of found plugins, find the required plugin and click on the “Install now” link.

After this, a message will appear stating that the plugin is installed, here you need to click on the “Activate plugin” link and it will start working.

#4. Disable saving revisions of notes.

WordPress has a feature that automatically saves note revisions. In addition to the note that is displayed on the blog itself, a certain number of previous editions of the note are stored in the database. That is, for example, if you corrected your note 3 times and saved it each time, as a result there will be 3 old and one new note in the database. In WordPress, these revisions are called “Revisions”. You can see them after saving your note several times. As a result, such a block will be displayed at the bottom of the note editing page.

Hello friends and all readers! In this lesson I will tell you what it is settingWordPress engine, and how to do it correctly. Let me remind you that in the previous post we... Now we need to understand the parameters of our CMS.

Let me say right away that this is a very important thing. After all, how you set up your site will determine its future operation. Moreover, the appearance and ease of user navigation are important, but far from decisive factors in website promotion.

It happens that when creating a blog, a person makes literally a couple of mistakes in the settings, and then cannot understand why search engines do not index him and the number of visitors does not increase month after month.

So let's get started. To begin, launch Denver using the familiar “Start Denwer” shortcut. Now we need to go to the administrative part or console (I just say “admin”) of the site. To do this, enter test1.ru/wp-admin/ in your browser.

Remember that the standard login to the admin area of ​​a WordPress site is done by adding “/wp-admin” to the domain name, as shown above.

If you saved your password/login last time, then you won’t have to enter it again. Otherwise, provide this data and go to the console.

Setting up a WordPress user profile

First of all, let's set up our profile correctly. You can find it in the admin panel by following the path Users → Your profile:

In the “Nick” line, indicate what you would like to be called. Next, in the “Display as” item, you can choose under what name site visitors will see you when you comment and attribute the authorship of articles.

It is advisable for users to show a nickname different from the one under which you log into the admin panel, that is, login. This is necessary for additional protection of your blog.

You should enter a current email address that you check frequently, as important emails regarding the operation of the site are sent there.

It is not necessary to write your biography, since everything you need to know about yourself can be told on a special page “About the author”.

Setting up WordPress

Now let's move on to the main, main tab that interests us in this lesson. These are "Settings":

General Setting

Go to the “General” item. As you can see, there is already some data there. You can change the name of the site (don’t make it too long); in the short description, briefly indicate the main topics of your site.

In the “E-mail address” item, enter the same email address as in your profile settings. All important notifications related to your site will be sent here.

If there is a checkmark next to “Membership”, remove it, since you definitely won’t need it, but you will increase the risk of hacking with this checkbox many times over.

Enter the “time zone” in accordance with your place of residence. This is also important, since this is the time that will be indicated in the comments and publication dates of posts. Set the time and date format as desired.

Setting up WordPress "Writing"

We will return to this setting when we start creating categories. The fact is that here, in the “Main Category” item, you can specify a category to which by default all posts in which you accidentally or intentionally do not specify a category will be linked.

Leave everything else as it is, and pay attention to only one important setting, which is called “Update Services”:

By the way, many people don’t even know that this particular item can significantly speed up the indexing of your site and have a positive impact on it. So, in this window you need to enter the following:

  • http://blogsearch.google.com/ping/RPC2
  • http://ping.blogs.yandex.ru/RPC2
  • http://api.my.yahoo.com/RPC2
  • http://ping.feedburner.com

You can simply copy these four addresses and paste them into the appropriate field.

Read Setting

In this menu, friends, you can specify that “Display on the main page”. If you leave the checkbox as it is, that is, in the “Your latest posts” item, then each new post will be displayed on the main page at the very top, and older articles will gradually move down.

But you can also specify a static page as your home page, that is, one that does not change. Of course, except in rare cases, it is better not to touch this WordPress setup and leave her as she is.

In the “Display no more than on blog pages” field, you can specify how many posts to display on one page of the site. The standard number is 10. If you have large announcements and 10 articles seem like a lot to you, you can always reduce this number to any acceptable number.

Now pay attention to the “Search Engine Visibility” item. You should know that the WordPress engine has such a feature. It allows you to prevent search engines from indexing your site. Most likely, you don’t understand now why the possibility of such a ban is needed, but sometimes this is an irreplaceable thing!

At this stage, you just need to know about the existence of this setting, that's all. Naturally, this mark should not be there, so if it is there, we remove it so that search engines notice the appearance of our site on the Internet!

WordPress “Discussion” setting

Here you can set parameters related to comments. Check that they are identical to the settings shown in the figure below:

At the bottom there is (not always) an “Avatars” tab. Don't touch anything there.

Media settings

In principle, there is no need to change anything here either - let everything remain in its standard form. Just remember when uploading any images that they must be the correct size for you.

For example, if the post thumbnail (the picture that is displayed on the main page and in sections along with the article announcement) has a size of 100px by 100px, then before uploading this file to the site, crop it using any graphic editor.

Never rely on automatic image adjustments, as this could seriously fail you one day.

Conclusion

On this WordPress setup tutorial ends. But the last item of the settings “Permanent links” will be discussed in a separate article, since this is a very important detail in the work of the blog.

I hope that you haven’t lost the desire to create a WordPress website yourself, because it’s easy and interesting, isn’t it? If you're not tired yet, move on to .
