Video tutorial to quick install and configure wordpress
Feb.05, 2010 in
Video tutorials, Wordpress tutorials
This is a video with a wordpress installation, configuration. It includes theme installation, plugin installation and working with sidebar widgets. It is 12 minutes long and covers database, subdomain and ftp creation trough cpanel.
Basically it is a video version on my tutorial: “How to quick install wordpress as a CMS“, but it does not contain all explanations and theories, just facts.

I don’t know what type your web hosting offers to you right now but my suggestion is to stay away from free hosting services. I suggest you to get a serious web hosting service, for example at hostgator . They have plans starting at 4$/month, it is a very low fee compared with what they provide: unlimited everything.
Try to write the url to your admin panel with the www. in front and without. Make sure your write the url right: yourdomain.com/wp-admin/ , you will be redirected to the login page and then back to the administration panel. Please give me your website url so i can check to see what is happening.
And make sure you created the database in your hosting control panel and that you installed wordpress properly. What your homepage shows right now ? On some hosts you may need to manually write the database username and password into configuration file. Rename wp-config-sample.php file to wp-config.php and edit the fields for database name, database user and database password. After you set it open your page in the browser and you should see a button: “run the install”. When completed you should see a message confirming the completion of instalation and then a sample post will appear.

Try to go to Settings -> Reading and then set “Front page displays” to display your latest posts or other page on your blog. If it works for other page but not for latest posts then it can be a problem in your home.php or index.php file. Maybe the template is bad coded, have other purpose or you should set something to appear on the front page as featured page or something else. Check template settings under the Appearance category in your admin panel or read theme instructions for further details.
