It’s a great option for people looking for a minimal installation because it’s basically just a framework. You won’t need a lot of extras to get started. Everything is included, and it has a beautiful default look that will allow you to build a fully functioning website within minutes.

In this tutorial, we’ll discuss how to set up WordPress with an ASP.NET MVC website. This will teach you the basics of WordPress so that you can build a functional website quickly and easily.

Why WordPress?

WordPress is incredibly flexible, and it has an incredible community of users who are active and willing to help on Slack and other forums. You’ll also find thousands of plugins and themes to customize your site as you see fit. It’s a great choice for people who are looking for a free solution, and it has an active community of coders who are always looking for the next bug to squash or feature to implement.

Let’s get started.

How Do I Install WordPress On My New Website?

The first step to setting up a WordPress site is to register a free domain name. You’ll also need to launch a WordPress blog within the next few minutes. Once you’ve done that, it’s time to move onto the next step.

You’ll need to choose a theme for your WordPress site. If you’re new to WordPress, then it’s a great idea to choose a free theme from one of the many reputable free theme providers like Themeforest. They have some incredible designs that will help you build a functional website even if you don’t know a single line of code.

From there, it’s a matter of copying and pasting the contents of your newly registered WordPress blog into the empty directory where you’ll install WordPress. You can do this by opening up your FTP client (such as Filezilla) and navigating to the directory where you’ve installed WordPress. On the left side of the screen, you’ll see your sites. On the right side, you’ll see the files and folders within those sites. Find the WordPress install process in your server logs when you’ve finished.

How Do I Start Customizing My WordPress Site?

Now that you’ve got WordPress installed, it’s time to start customizing your site. You can do this with either your web browser or the WordPress backend. Let’s start with the front end first. If you’ve ever used WordPress before, then you’ll know that it has a very clean and responsive front end. This makes it easy for anyone to use.

You can utilize this by adjusting the theme’s properties in the dashboard. You’ll find this under Settings → Appearance. From there, you can change the colors, fonts, and other settings to fit your personality. You can start by changing the blog headline and removing the default background images. You can upload a custom header image, as well. Don’t forget to test out your new look in the preview tab before making these changes.

Now that you’ve changed the look and feel of your site with the WordPress dashboard, it’s time to move to the backend. If you’ve used WordPress before, then you’ll know that it has a very customizable backend as well. This is where you’ll manage all of your content, settings, and functionality. If you open up your FTP client, you’ll see a directory named wp-admin. This is where all the code is that allows you to make changes to your site’s backend. You can access this directory through your server’s login page. On most servers, you can find this page by entering your domain name in the URL bar and pressing Enter.

If this is your first time using WordPress, then it’s a good idea to become familiar with the back end. This is where you’ll find the functions.php file. Learn to navigate this file and implement any necessary changes to make your site work the way you want it to. Remember to backup this file before making any changes.

Once you’ve navigated to the wp-admin directory in your FTP client, it’s time to start editing the functions.php file. From there, you can add code to make your site behave in the way you want it to. Remember to utilize your favorite code editor to make changes to this file (such as Notepad++ or Sublime Text).

Make sure that you’ve backed up this file before continuing. You can also use the WordPress > File Management tool to download a copy of this file to your computer. Doing this will also allow you to edit the file locally and continue working on your site even if you’ve got problems.

What Next?

Once you’ve finished editing the functions.php file and tested out your new changes, it’s time to redeploy your site. To do this, navigate back to your server’s URL and copy the new URL. This is the address of your site, and it will probably look something like this: blogs.yourdomainname.com

Next, open up a new tab in your web browser and paste this new URL into the address bar. After a few moments, you’ll see the WordPress dashboard.

From there, click the button that says “Install WordPress”. You’ll then be asked to enter your Admin username and password. Enter the credentials when prompted and click the button to continue.

You’ll then be presented with a screen that allows you to enter the details for a new admin user. Enter a username, a password, and a familiar email address. Once you’ve entered these details, click the button to create the user. Congratulations! You’ve now got WordPress installed and configured on your site.

You’ll now need to log in to your WordPress dashboard and visit the Settings section. From there, you can change the site’s theme, as well as the header and other background images. You can also choose the color scheme for your site.

WordPress makes it easy to get up and running with a new website quickly and easily. It also provides you with a large community of users who are happy to help you get the most out of your new site.
