How to Integrate WordPress into a Website on IIS
IIS stands for Internet Information Services. This piece of software is usually installed on a website server, which is needed in order to run a WordPress website. If you decide that you want to integrate WordPress into your website, you will have to use the IIS manager to do this. The following steps will help you get started with this process.
Step one: Install WordPress on your server
The very first step that you will need to take in order to integrate WordPress into a website is to install the WordPress software on your server. You can do this either by installing it directly from the WordPress website, or by using a service such as Bitnami’s WordPress Stack which makes it very easy to set up and use. Once you have installed WordPress on your server, you can use the administrative interface to create your first site. You can then use the familiar WordPress dashboard to edit the content that you have just created.
Step two: Configure IIS for WordPress
The second step that you will need to take in order to integrate WordPress into a website is to configure IIS for WordPress. The Internet Information Services (IIS) is a web server that is used to serve websites and other web content. While you don’t need to have IIS installed on your personal computer, you will need to use it in order to upload and view your WordPress content. There are a few things that you will need to configure on the IIS website in order for WordPress to work correctly. When you are finished, you can test your configuration by visiting the URL of your website in a web browser. If it works, great! If not, you can either correct the problems or restore the default settings using the IIS manager.
Step three: Point your domain name to the correct IP address
The third step that you will need to take in order to integrate WordPress into a website is to point your domain name to the correct IP address. Your domain name is the part of the URL that comes after the @ sign in a Twitter or Google connection. For example, if you want to visit the WordPress dashboard of a website that is hosted on GoDaddy, you would enter the following into your web browser’s URL bar:
https://YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME.com
Note: You will need to replace YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME with the actual domain name. If you can’t remember what your domain name is, you can use this free service from Google to find out:
https://www.google.com/domains/dashboard#overview
Step four: Activate the “WordPress” folder
The fourth step that you will need to take in order to integrate WordPress into a website is to activate the “WordPress” folder on your server. The WordPress “Folders” (or “Directories”) are locations on a server where specific folders and files are kept. You will need to create a folder named “WordPress” on your server or enter its path into the “Directory explorer” section of the IIS manager. You can then use the IIS manager to activate the folder.
Step five: Point your domain name to the correct IP address
The fifth and final step that you will need to take in order to integrate WordPress into a website is to point your domain name to the correct IP address. You can use this step to ensure that your site is being served by the correct web server. You will need to use your domain name to find the correct IP address of the server that you are using. Once you have found it, you can use this IP address to access your WordPress website from any computer or device.
Congratulations!
Once you have followed these five steps, you will be able to access your WordPress website from any computer or device that is connected to the Internet. Now, you can start editing the content that you have created and make your website look precisely the way that you want it to!
