How to install WordPress from Softaculous?

After installing WordPress or any other script available using Softaculous, you may want to change some of the installation settings. This guide will walk you through the settings you can change once a script has been installed.

We will use WordPress for our example, but the steps will be the same for almost any script you install using Softaculous..

1. Log in to your cPanel.
2. Find the "Software" section, then click on "Softaculous Apps Installer".

   

3. This will open the Softaculous interface. At the top of the page, you will be presented with options for your installed scripts. Click on the "Installations" box.
   

   

4. Locate the domain for which you want to edit the installation and click on the pencil icon.

On this page, you will have the option to edit a number of settings for the installation.

Installation Details

This section displays information such as where the site is installed, database information and auto-update settings.

• We do not suggest changing the directory, URL or database settings unless you know what you are doing, as these settings can damage your website and make it inaccessible.
