如何安装WordPress 2026

WordPress powers 43% of all websites on the internet, and for good reason. It's flexible, well-supported, and free. Installing WordPress takes under 5 minutes with most modern hosting providers via their one-click installer. This guide covers both the easy route (one-click from your hosting dashboard) and the manual method (for users who need full control or whose host doesn't offer a one-click installer).

我们如何核对文中步骤

发布前，若步骤依赖主机商，我们会在至少两家平台各走一遍；否则在同一环境隔日执行两次。我们记录控制台报错、不同地区的界面文案差异，并在厂商调整按钮位置后立即更新文案。路径与截图每季度抽检。涉及 DNS、SSL 或付款时，我们确认回滚/补救选项，并链接到官方文档以获取权威表述。

  1. 1

    Step 1: Choose and set up your hosting

    WordPress requires a hosting plan with PHP 8.0+ and MySQL/MariaDB. Most shared hosting plans include both. Our recommended starting point: Hostinger or SiteGround. both include one-click WordPress installation from their dashboards and have WordPress pre-optimised environments.

  2. 2

    Step 2: Log into your hosting control panel

    Access your host's control panel (usually cPanel or a custom dashboard like Hostinger's hPanel). Look for "WordPress" or "WordPress Manager" in the main menu. most hosts prominently feature it. Alternatively, find the Softaculous or Installatron app installer in your cPanel.

  3. 3

    Step 3: Run the one-click installer

    Click "Install WordPress" (or "Install Now" in Softaculous). You'll be prompted to choose: the domain to install on, the installation directory (leave blank to install in the root. e.g. yourdomain.com rather than yourdomain.com/wordpress), your admin username (avoid "admin". It's the first thing attackers try), a strong password, and your email address.

  4. 4

    Step 4: Complete the installation

    Click Install/Complete. The installer creates your WordPress database, copies all WordPress files, and configures the connection automatically. This takes 30–90 seconds. You'll receive an email confirmation with your login credentials and wp-admin URL.

  5. 5

    Step 5: Log into WordPress

    Go to yourdomain.com/wp-admin and log in with the credentials you just created. You'll see the WordPress dashboard. Your site is now live at yourdomain.com with the default theme active.

  6. 6

    Step 6: Install a theme

    Go to Appearance → Themes → Add New. Search for a theme or browse featured/popular options. Free themes: Astra, Hello Elementor, GeneratePress, and Kadence are all fast and developer-friendly. Click Install, then Activate.

  7. 7

    Step 7: Install essential plugins

    Go to Plugins → Add New. Install and activate: Yoast SEO or Rank Math (for search engine optimisation), UpdraftPlus (for backups), Wordfence or Solid Security (for security hardening), and WP Super Cache or LiteSpeed Cache (for performance, depending on your server type).

  8. 8

    Step 8: Configure basic settings

    In Settings → General: set your site title and tagline. In Settings → Permalinks: change to "Post name" structure (/your-post-slug/) for SEO-friendly URLs. click Save Changes. In Settings → Reading: ensure "Search engines discouraged" is unchecked if you want Google to index your site.
