I don’t provide guidance on how to do this as each host has its own method. Most good hosts tend to make it very easy to install WordPress, often at the click of a button. As I’ve already explained I will be using a sub-domain to create my Seed Site.

Consult your hosting provider to find out how to install WordPress.

Login

Once you’ve created your default WordPress site, login to the admin dashboard.

Clean Up Dashboard
