How do I install WordPress in the DirectAdmin panel?

Installing WordPress in the DirectAdmin panel is quite simple and can be done in just a few clicks. Here’s how to install WordPress using the DirectAdmin panel:

Step 1: Log in to your DirectAdmin panel (guide – click to open in a new tab)
Step 2: Find and open the Adriahost WP application

Step 3: Click the install option to start the installation:

wordpress installation directadmin

Step 4: Now pay close attention to the following:

  1. If your package includes multiple domains, select the one where you want to install WordPress.
  2. In the In Directory field, you can enter the name of the folder where WordPress will be installed. If left blank, WordPress will be installed directly on the domain (e.g., example.com). If you want it installed in a subfolder, such as example.com/blog, then enter blog in the Directory field.

Just below, enter the login details for the user (administrator) who will manage the WordPress site. Please do not use "admin" as the username — choose something more complex that would not be easily guessed by attackers. Create a username and password and enter them in the designated fields. Also provide your email address.

Step 5: Finally, click the Install button. The installation process will take a few minutes. After that, you’ll be able to access your new website.
