Step-by-Step WordPress Deployment Guide

Step 1: Choosing and Preparing a Server

  • Deploy or install a server from a pre-configured package (Marketplace).
  • Choose a reliable hosting provider to ensure stability and performance. Once you purchase or rent a server, you can install WordPress on it.

Connecting to the Virtual Server via SSH

  • Linux/MacOS: Use the built-in terminal.
  • Windows: Typically, PuTTY or OpenSSH is used.
  • Authentication can be done via password or SSH key (if you're unsure how to create an SSH key, check the provider’s guide).

After successfully logging in, you will see a system message confirming that you’re ready to proceed with the installation.

Step 2: Initial WordPress CMS Setup

Run the following script:

/root/wp_setup.sh

This script will automatically handle the essential setup tasks: it will check if the database is active, configure initial settings, and prepare WordPress for full operation. You won’t need to manually edit configuration files—everything will be done for you.

During the script execution, you will need to enter the following details:

  • Domain or subdomain (e.g., example.org). If you want to skip this step, simply press Enter.
  • Administrator email (e.g., [email protected])—this will be useful for password recovery and important notifications.
  • Admin username—choose a non-standard name to improve site security.
  • Password—a strong password is recommended for better security.
  • Site name (e.g., "My Blog").
  • Confirmation of settings (press Y to proceed).

Result:

After the setup is complete, the system will generate all necessary logins and passwords for the database and the WordPress admin panel. These credentials and secret keys are automatically saved in a special file located at:

/root/.password_credentials

To view or copy these details at any time, run the following command in the console:

cat /root/.password_credentials

Step 3: Logging into the Admin Panel

To access the WordPress admin panel, append wp-login.php to your website’s address. For example:

https://example.org/wp-login.php

or

https://10.20.30.40

(If an SSL certificate has not been installed yet, a security warning may appear—you can ignore it at this stage.) image2

Logging In to WordPress

Enter the admin username and password you set during the installation process. Once logged in, you will gain access to site management tools, including theme and plugin installation.

Step 4: Optional – Setting Up an SSL Certificate (Recommended)

  1. Ensure that your domain is correctly pointing to your server’s IP address (configured in DNS records).

  2. Install a free SSL certificate using Let’s Encrypt by running the following command in the console:

    certbot --nginx

Follow the instructions:

  • Enter an email address for notifications and recovery.
  • Agree to the terms of service (press Y).
  • Enter your domain name (e.g., example.org).

Within a few minutes, your web server will switch to a secure HTTPS connection.

If your domain is not yet linked to the server, you can skip this step and return to it later by running:

certbot --nginx

Step 5: Accessing the WordPress Admin Panel

To log in, visit:

https://your_domain/wp-login.php

or

https://your_server_IP/wp-login.php

Use the admin username and password you set during installation—and you're in! image4

Additional Tips for Working with WordPress

  • Choosing a Language – In the admin panel settings, you can switch the interface language.
  • Installing Themes & Plugins – Explore the "Appearance" (Themes) and "Plugins" sections to customize your site and add new features.

Security

  • Install security plugins like Wordfence or iThemes Security for additional protection.
  • Keep WordPress core, themes, and plugins updated, as outdated versions are more vulnerable to attacks.

  • These plugins provide recommendations on content structure and metadata to enhance visibility in search engines.

Backup Strategy

  • Regular backups are essential. Use hosting backup tools or plugins like UpdraftPlus to ensure quick recovery in case of failure.
