There are several stages in creating a new WordPress website.
- For WordPress source code – goto https://wordpress.org/download/
- Download source code and save locally.
- Extract code to a local directory.
- Using Filezilla create new directory on the host server.
- Using Filezilla copy extracted code to the new directory.
- Login to IONOS and create a subdomain name using fairfordu3a.uk as the main domain.
- Link this subdomain name to the new directory where the WordPress sources are on the host.
- Create a new database and save all relevant login details – these will be needed to populate the database when WordPress initializes.
- Using the new subdomain, access the new WordPress website and follow the online instructions.
- Hopefully you will now have a new WordPress website!
