I get asked a lot to install WordPress for people; here’s how.
1. Download the latest version of WordPress from WordPress.org.
2. Upload.
3. Set up your MySQL database and user.
4. Go to http://yoursite.com/wp-admin/install.php
Done. How simple? O.o
Wooo! Upgraded to WordPress 2.7, and it’s just awesome! I can’t find any bugs, although I did run into a few holdups during the upgrade process and after I logged in.
1. Blank!
Ok, this is my fault, I forgot to deactivate all the plugins. So I had to rename the plugins folder and create a new one. I’m too lazy to upload all the plugins I had again, but 2.7 has a way of saying ‘I know you’re mentally retarded, but here use the new plugin browser…’ How awesome?
2. Classic Theme
I was using the ‘Classic’ WordPress colors, and when I upgraded and logged in again, it was the new 2.7 classic colors; which was shit. I changed the ‘Fresh’ colors! Again, my bad.
Wow! I expected more problems, but that’s it, just these two!
