How To Install WordPress Manually (cPanel & FTP)

Easy-to-follow tutorial on how to install WordPress manually via ftp and using cPanel database settings.

These are the main steps you need to follow when installing WordPress manually:
- Create a MySQL database on your server, in this case I'm using cPanel (you can use PhpMyAdmin)
- Create a database user, you can use the same name as you've used for your database. Don't forget to write down the user password.
- Add your user to the database, grant all privileges.
- Download WordPress installation files (link below)
- Unzip WP installation files on your computer
- Upload all files and directories to your server via ftp. I'm using free FileZilla FTP client, link below.
- Enter your domain name (or WordPress URL) in a browser and follow the easy WordPress installation steps.

Your WordPress manual install is ready. It only took less than 9 minutes for me even in this tutorial video with explanations, so we can safely say that you can install WordPress manually in just 5 minutes.
