## Setup

### STEP 1: Check System Requirement

We highly recommend to verify following on your host. For help contact your hosting company.

- Running latest WordPress version (example: 4.5 or higher)
- PHP 5.6 or higher
- MySQL 5.6 or higher (for legacy environments also PHP versions 4.5.x will work).

Recommended PHP Configuration Limits

Many issues that you may run into such as; white screen, demo content fails when importing, empty page content with Fusion Builder and other similar issues are all related to low PHP configuration limits. The solution is to increase the PHP limits. You can do this on your own, or contact your web host and ask them to increase those limits to a minimum as follows:

- max_execution_time 180
- memory_limit 128M
- post_max_size 32M
- upload_max_filesize 32M

We have tested with Hosts

- Nestify
- Blue Hosts

### STEP 2: Wordpress Installation

What is WordPress?

WordPress 101 – What is WordPress?

WordPress is an online, open source website creation tool written in PHP. But in non-geek speak, it’s probably the easiest and most powerful blogging and website content management system (or CMS) in existence today.

How to Install WordPress?

WordPress 101 – How To Install WordPress?

[note: Your hosting company’s control panel will most likely be different from the one shown in the video and the steps might slightly vary so please refer to the instructions below for more details.]

Now a days all the major hosting companies such as 1and1, BlueHost and MediaTemple and Godaddy offers One-Click Installation so in most cases you might not need to install it manually.

For any reason One-Click install option is not available you can refer to the official WordPress installation guide. To speed up the process I highly recommend to checkout a much simpler (unofficial) Complete WordPress Installation Tutorial by WPbeginner which includes both One-Click and Manual (FTP) installation.

Congratulations! By now you must have completed the WordPress Installation.

What next, after Installing WordPress?

1. Go to http://www.your-website.com/wp-admin
2. Login to WordPress Admin Panel.
3. Welcome to WordPress Dashboard

For more information watch the following video or see the step-by-step instructions on WordPress site to get you started if this is your first time.
