This article usesInstalling WordPress via Baota as an example, let me introduce the specific method. If you are using other website building programs, please refer to this tutorial and adapt accordingly.

Step 1: Deploy WordPress via Baota Panel

Method 1: Baota One-Click WordPress Deployment (Recommended for Beginners)

Baota Panel supports one-click deployment of several popular website building programs like WordPress, making the operation relatively simple for beginners.

1. Go to Baota Panel backend - Website - Add Website - One-click Deployment - Select WordPress - Fill in Domain - Confirm

After clicking confirm, wait a moment. It will automatically add the website for you, download the WordPress installation files, and create a database.

After successful deployment, deployment information will pop up, including database details and the website URL. You can save it, or later view the account and password directly from the database.

Then wait for the website setup and proceed to install WordPress. See the following tutorial.

Method 2: Manually Install the Latest Version of WordPress

Although one-click deployment is convenient, domestic servers sometimes encounter network issues causing the installation package download to fail; or the one-click deployment might not use the latest installation package, requiring a manual update after installation. Therefore, learning to install WordPress manually is also essential.

Step One,Add a Website to Baota Panel

Manual WordPress installation doesn't handle everything for you like one-click deployment does. First, we need to create the website ourselves.

Baota Panel Backend – Website – Add Website

Fill in the domain name, select 'Create Database', leave other settings as default, then click the confirm button.

Step Two, Download/Upload the Latest WordPress Installation Package

There are two ways to upload the WordPress installation package: one is local upload, the other is direct server download.

If your domestic server fails at remote download, you can download the installation package from the link below and upload it to the website root directory.

WordPress New Version Installation Package Download Address:WordPress New Version Simplified Chinese Local Download

For server remote download, click in the Baota Panel:Website→ Website Root Directory Folder → URL Link Download, then fill in the URL below and click OK.

https://cn.wordpress.org/latest-zh_CN.zip

After uploading or downloading the WordPress installation package, move your mouse to the package's row and click the 'Extract' button. As shown below:

In the extraction window, directly click „Extract“.

Extraction will complete quickly, resulting in a folder named 'WordPress'. Click to enter this folder.

After entering the WordPress folder, click the checkbox in front of the file names to select all folders and files.

Then click the 'Cut' button in the top right corner. The steps are shown in the image below:

Next, click your website's folder to return to the root directory, then click the 'Paste All' button in the top right corner, as shown below:

Finally, your Baota Panel file interface will look like the image below.

The WordPress folder and the installation package file can be deleted. 404.html and index.html can also be deleted. It's fine if you don't delete them.

Next, we can start building the website.

After opening this access address, you will see the interface for building a WordPress program website in the second step below. Just follow the instructions.

Step 2: Configure WordPress Pseudo-Static Rules and SSL Certificate

In the previous step, we have uploaded the WordPress installation files to the website root directory. Next, we can use a browser to open the URL and install WordPress. However, to avoid future hassles, Naiba suggests configuring the pseudo-static rules and SSL security certificate in the second step first.

Note: The security certificate can only be successfully applied if the domain name has already been resolved to the server.

Setup method:

ClickWebsite ListThe followingSettingsbutton, a pop-up interface appears:

1. Pseudo-static, select WordPress, save;
2. SSL, free certificate, choose either LiteSSL or Let's Encrypt, select all domains, and click the Apply button.

After the SSL security certificate is successfully applied, you can enableForce HTTPS。

Step 3: Run the Installation Wizard to Install the WordPress Website

Now open your bound domain name, and the interface shown in the figure below will appear. Click „Let“s go„

In the interface below, enter the corresponding database name, database username, and database password (if you forgot the database, you can check it on the database page in the Baota Panel backend), then click Submit.

If the database is correct, the interface below will appear. Click "Install Now".

Soon, the interface below will appear, asking you to set the site title, username, password, and email information. After setting, click „Install WordPress“

Success, you can log in now.
