How to Install WordPress in One Click

You don't need to manually download WordPress or create a database by hand — Plesk handles the entire process for you.

1. Open the WordPress Installer

Log in to Plesk, go to Websites & Domains, and click the WordPress icon next to your domain.

2. Choose Your Installation Path

Decide whether WordPress installs at your domain root (yourdomain.com) or in a subfolder (yourdomain.com/blog), and confirm the domain it applies to.

3. Set Your Admin Credentials

Choose a WordPress admin username and a strong password — this is separate from your Plesk login and is what you'll use to log in to WordPress itself.

4. Let Plesk Do the Rest

Plesk automatically creates the database, downloads WordPress core files, and configures the connection — no manual database setup required.

5. Log In and Start Building

Once installation finishes, visit yourdomain.com/wp-admin to log in and start customizing your new site.
