If you’re looking to set up a WordPress site on Plesk, the process is straightforward and can be completed in just a few steps. This guide will walk you through the process of setting up WordPress on Plesk, including creating a new domain, installing WordPress, and configuring your site settings.

Step 1: Creating a New Domain

The first step to setting up WordPress on Plesk is creating a new domain for your website. To do this, navigate to the “Websites & Domains” tab on your Plesk dashboard and click on “Add Domain.” Enter the domain name you’d like to use for your website and click “OK.”

Step 2: Installing WordPress

Once you’ve created your new domain, you can install WordPress on your site. To do this, go to the “WordPress” tab on your Plesk dashboard and click “Install.” Select the domain you created in Step 1 and choose the installation path for WordPress. You can also set up an administrator account for your WordPress site during this step.

Step 3: Configuring Your Site Settings

After installing WordPress, you’ll need to configure your site settings. This includes setting up your site’s title, tagline, and permalink structure. To do this, log in to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to the “Settings” tab. From there, you can update your site’s general settings, including your site title and tagline.

You’ll also want to update your site’s permalink structure to make it more SEO-friendly. To do this, go to the “Permalinks” tab under “Settings” and choose a permalink structure that works best for your site.

Step 4: Installing Plugins and Themes

Once you’ve configured your site settings, you can start customizing your site by installing plugins and themes. To install a new plugin, navigate to the “Plugins” tab on your WordPress dashboard and click “Add New.” You can then search for a plugin by name or browse popular plugins.

To install a new theme, go to the “Appearance” tab on your dashboard and click “Add New.” You can then search for a theme by name or browse popular themes.

Step 5: Launching Your Site

After you’ve completed all of the steps above, you’re ready to launch your WordPress site on Plesk. Simply navigate to your domain name in your web browser and you should see your WordPress site live on the internet.
