Earn Your Client's Confidence

Part 3 - Installing Wordpress

Now that you have signed up for a web

hosting

and connected your domain

it’s time to install Wordpress!

Login to your Hostmonster account

scroll down and click the Wordpress icon

it will direct you to Mojo Marketplace

Just click the green ‘Install’ button

Select which domain you’d like to install to

Fill in your site name, username and

password

And your installation will be underway

Once complete,

view your site’s credentials

And you’ll see the admin link to your site

If you click on the site URL

it will direct you to a coming soon page

because you still have to build your site!

You can do that by clicking on your admin

Remember the username and

password

you set before the installation?

Enter it in your admin page

Hit ‘Login’ and you’ll get inside

your website’s dashboard

If you access your website

from within your dashboard

you’ll see that it’s still an empty site

Now if you already own a free wordpress

(like I did)

you have to export and import your files

to fill your new site with content

Here’s how you can import and export:

Go to your old Wordpress blog’s

dashboard

Scroll down and click ‘Tools’ from the left

sidebar

Click ‘Export’

Click ‘Start Export’

Choose the files you want to export

then click ‘Download Export File’

Now go to your new Wordpress blog’s

dashboard

Look for ‘Tools’ again

This time, choose ‘Import’

Install the ‘Wordpress importer’

Click ‘Install Now’

Click ‘Activate Plugin’ so you can start using

the importer

Wait! You’re not done importing yet.

Once the plugin has been activated

this page will appear

You have to click ‘Choose File’

A pop-up will open and you have to

choose the file you exported earlier.

Finish the import by clicking the ‘Upload

File’ button

Assign your site’s authors

(in my case I chose existing user)

Then click ‘Submit’

To double check if the import was

successful,

you can go to posts > all posts

and you’ll find your recent posts

You can also visit your site from the dash

and you can see your recent posts there

But! as mentioned in this message:

Your site is showing a ‘Coming Soon’ page

It looks like this:

It mean, you can see the content of your

but if you give your site URL

to a client or friend, they’ll see

the coming soon page

To get your site up and running,

check out Part 4 of this series: designing your

website

Note: When you install Wordpress to Hostmonster, it's not a pre-requisite to own a free wordpress blog. Once you connect your domain to hostmonster

it will automatically create a new Wordpress site for you.

Don't follow what I did! I thought my existing domain should be connected to my free Wordpress site because I was getting an error message

when trying to access the admin login page.

I paid Wordpress $13 to connect my domain to my free blog. Only to find out that I was getting an error because my domain’s nameservers wasn’t properly

pointing to Hostmonster's nameservers.

(Learn how to point your domain’s nameservers from my Earn Your Client’s Confidence Part 2 tutorial!)

Good thing I was able to cancel the Wordpress domain connection and got a refund!

your own projects. You need to prove that you’re more than
