- Installing Wordpress
If you are fully convinced and are going to create a website in Wordpress by hiring your own domain and hosting, the first thing you should know is that no technical knowledge is required for its installation and start-up. Do not be fooled by installation costs since installing a Wordpress is reduced to 2 mouse clicks .
To do this we only have to log in to our hosting and look for the section to install Wordpress and decide in which folder we are going to install it. We must be careful with this because normally we install it in the root, although by default the installation is done in a folder.
At the root, it is the most used and the one I recommend.
In a folder, it is used when you have a website or store with another web tool.
In a subdomain. This is the least common but also a feasible solution, although we must take into account that the authority of the subdomain will start from scratch, in contrast list of czech republic consumer email to the installation in a folder that inherits the domain's own authority.
If you have any questions about the installation, leave me a comment below and I will answer it for you.
- Install and configure the theme of a website in Wordpress
There are three ways to install a theme:
1.- Through the Wordpress backend , we click on Appearance > Themes and click on the install themes tab and then on upload, as shown in the image.

In order to upload a template we must have the theme compressed in a zip, that is, we must compress the template folder in a zip and not in a rar. Once it is installed we must go back to Appearance > Themes and activate it.
2.- Through an ftp. To do this we must create an ftp account through the hosting and configure it with a free ftp client such as Filezilla . Once we have connected to our domain, we will have to go to the installation folder that we will find in wp-content/themes and there we will upload the unzipped folder, it is just a matter of dragging the folder and that's it. The process will take about 15 or 30 minutes, so it is much slower than the first option which is practically immediate.
3.- Through the FTP of the hosting itself. In this case, what we will do is look for the installation folder, that is, wp-connect/themes and there we will upload the template in zip format, the process will only take a few seconds, then we will click on the uploaded file with the second mouse button and we will click on unzip or extract. To do this method you need to have some knowledge of using an FTP tool and in my opinion it is the most professional and recommendable, why? Well, it is very simple, method one can give us problems if the file size is very large, and method 2 can leave some files out when making the copy, especially if we are dealing with a template with many files. The only one that never fails, rain or shine, is the third method.
