How to Access WordPress on HostGator

1. Log in to your HostGator CPanel account using your username and password. Navigate to the 'Software/Services' section of CPanel by scrolling down and clicking the 'QuickInstall' link, which is located directly under the section header.
2. Click on the 'WordPress' link under the 'Blog Software' menu on the left side of the screen. Press the 'Continue' button to the right of the 'Blog Software' menu.

3. Enter the required information into the boxes under the 'Install WordPress' menu. Click the 'Install Now!' button to continue installing WordPress.
4. Access the inbox of the email address you entered into the 'Admin email' field under the 'Install WordPress' menu. Select and copy the automated password provided for you in the email.
5. Type 'http://www.yourdomain.com/blog_subfolder/wp-admin' into your browser's address bar (without the quotation marks). Replace the 'www.yourdomain.com' section of the URL with your website's actual domain. Replace the 'blog_subfolder' section of the URL with the name of the folder you installed WordPress into from the previous 'Install WordPress' menu. For example, the URL in the address bar would be 'http://www.hostgatoruser.com/blog/wp-admin.' Press 'Enter' to go to the WordPress login panel.
6. Enter 'admin' (without quotations) into the 'Username' field. Paste the automated password into the 'password' field, and then click the 'Log In' button to access your blog.
