How to Install and Configure WordPress Blogging Software

Preparing your web hosting account for WordPress
1. Ensure that your web hosting account meets WordPress' minimum requirements of PHP 4 or greater and MySQL 4 or greater. If you intend to use WordPress' built-in, search engine-friendly URL's feature, your web hosting account will also need the 'mod_rewrite' apache module installed. If the minimum requirements are not met, you will have to contact your web host for assistance, or switch hosts.
2. Create a MySQL database for WordPress to use. Some web hosts provide a database manager within the administrator's control panel. Others install third-party database management software such as phpMyAdmin. You may need to consult your web hosting account's user manual or contact your web host's support team for instructions. Note the name of the database.

3. Using whatever method your web host allows to create and modify MySQL databases, create a MySQL user and grant it permissions to access the database you created for WordPress. Note the name of the user and the password.
4. Unzip the WordPress software to a local directory on your PC. Using an FTP program, connect to your web hosting account and upload the WordPress software. If you cannot connect to your server, you may need to contact your web host's support team for assistance.
Installing the Wordpress software
5. Load your web browser and enter the URL where WordPress is installed. The WordPress install program will launch. If you receive any errors, check if you have uploaded all the files to the correct directory and that the correct URL is entered into the web browser. If you are sure you have done both, contact your web host's support team for assistance.
6. If there are no errors, the WordPress automated install program will launch. WordPress will prompt you to fill out a few questions regarding the location of the MySQL server, the database name and the database's user name. You will need to enter the location of the MySQL server. Usually, this is 'localhost.' Some web hosts require a special entry for this field. You may need to consult your web hosting account's documentation, or contact the support team. Enter the database name, the database user name and the database password. If the values you entered are correct, WordPress will successfully install and you will be directed to the administrator creation page. If not, WordPress will display a database connection error. If this occurs, recheck all information and enter your information again. If this does not fix the error, contact your web host's support team.
7. Next, you will need to provide WordPress with an administrator user name. WordPress will automatically generate an initial password. You can change the password later.
8. WordPress is now installed. Check the main page of the blog to ensure there are no errors. Log in to the administrator control panel by entering '/wp-admin.php' without the quotations at the end of your blog's URL. Enter the administrator's user name you created earlier, and enter the password that WordPress provided.
9. You can now begin customizing your WordPress blog! Explore the control panel to learn what each option does.

How to Display WordPress Posts on a Website

Use an RSS Plugin to Add a Feed to Another WordPress Site
1. Add a RSS Feed button to your sidebar or header. WordPress comes with RSS functionality, so you will often find a button called 'Add RSS' or 'Stay updated with RSS' at the top of the sidebar or somewhere in the WordPress blog header.
2. Right-Click on the RSS button. Select 'Copy Link Address.'

3. Go to the new WordPress website where you'd like to add the feed.
4. Click on 'Appearance' > 'Widgets' and scroll down until you see the widget named 'RSS.' Drag it to the sidebar on the right side of the window.
5. Paste the RSS feed link address into the widget and click 'Save.' Check the box for 'Display Item Contents' if you want the text to show. Otherwise, it will just show the tile(s).
Using RSS or Atom Feeds with Other Web Design Tools
6. Add an RSS feed display to your website. All the free web-builders have RSS feed readers built in. Weebly, Wix, Yola, Google Sites, and others all provide gadgets or widgets for this purpose. In Dreamweaver you have to add an extension. Joomla! provides several plugins and modules at its extensions site.
7. Copy the RSS feed address from the WordPress site. Right-click on the RSS button and select 'Copy Link Address.'
8. Go to the settings for the gadget, widget, or extension for your website.
9. Paste the RSS address into the address box.
10. Save the information and/or publish the site.

How to Find Widgets in WordPress

1. Log in to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to 'Appearance.' Click the 'Widgets' link to see all widgets currently available. Add widgets to sidebars by dragging the gray bars from the middle of the screen into sidebars on the right side. Expand a sidebar by clicking on its name so you can drop the Widgets into it. Click on the names of widgets within the sidebars to expand them and display their options. Some widgets also have options on a page under 'Settings.'
2. Click on 'Plugins' and then 'Add New.' Use the search bar to search for a plugin you want. For example, type 'Twitter' to find plugins related to Twitter. You can also click on one of the links under 'Popular tags,' such as 'widget' for various widgets.

3. Find a plugin you want to try and click 'Install' under its name. Click the activation link after it finishes downloading. Visit your 'Widgets' menu again and look for a widget with a name similar or identical to the plugin. If you see no widget, then you've installed a plugin with no associated widget. Drag and drop new widgets into sidebars as needed.

How to Change Deprecated Tags in WordPress

1. Download your website's wp-config.php file to your computer and open it in a code editor or Notepad. Find the following code at around line 81 of the file:define('WP_DEBUG', false);Change 'false' to 'true' and save the file. Upload it to your server and overwrite the current copy of your configuration file.
2. Load your website in a browser to see errors and warning messages. WordPress prints messages about deprecated tags wherever it finds them, so look over your entire website to find them all. Each warning includes a suggested replacement for the deprecated tag plus information about where to find the old code. Copy and paste that information into a blank text file so you can read it while you edit your code.

3. Download all the files for your theme to your computer and open them in a code editor or Notepad. Open your editor's 'Replace' tool and type the name of your first deprecated tag into the 'Find' field. Type the new code, as suggested by the warning message, into the 'Replace' field. Click 'Find Next' to find the tag in a template and click 'Replace' when you find the tag. Do this for every deprecated tag on one template file and then move on to the next template file. Note that you need only to check your PHP files.
4. Save your theme files and upload them to your server, overwriting the old version of the theme. Reload your website in the browser and look again for any deprecated tag warnings. As long as you fixed all your tags, you should not find any more warnings.

How to Use FTP With WordPress

1. Open any FTP client. There are hundreds to choose from and you may already have one installed. Download a free client from FileZilla, WinSCP, gFTP or Cyberduck, among others.
2. Start a new connection if you've never connected to your web host through FTP. Each client is different, but the general process is the same. When you launch the FTP client a connection window will appear. If it doesn't, open the 'File' menu and look for 'New Connection...' or click the connect icon in the toolbar, if applicable.

3. Enter your host name and your web host username and password. The host name is usually your domain name, but check with your hosting provider if you're not sure. The connection type should say 'FTP' and you can check a box to save the information. Click 'Connect' or 'OK.'

5. Log out of your hosting account when you're done. There will either be a disconnect icon to click or just close the program.

How to Place a Logo in a WordPress Header

1. Open the 'header.php' template file from the folder containing all the files for your current WordPress theme. You can find this folder by navigating to the main folder of your website and double-clicking on 'wp-contents' and then 'themes.'
2. Place an
tag in the code where you want the logo to display. You can put it in anywhere after the opening
tag, but a
tag labeled something like 'header' or 'logo' is best. Names of
tags in themes vary, but you should be able to tell their purpose by what they are called. Here is an example:



In the above code, an
tag was added to a
called 'heading,' and below it is the code for a WordPress menu.

3. Add the bloginfo() function to the path to your logo within the
tag. You can use bloginfo() to output the path to your theme files. The code looks like this:
/logo.png' />The browser will then see the path to the theme folder. If your logo is located within a folder called 'images' under your theme folder, use code like this:
/images/logo.png' />
4. Wrap an anchor tag around your logo to make it a link. You should link the logo to your home page because users expect that. Here is the code:
'>
/logo.png'>
Notice that the anchor tag above also uses the bloginfo() function, but now it contains 'wpurl' instead of 'template_directory.' These parameters tell the function what type of info you want to display. In this case, 'wpurl' displays the URL -- the Web address -- of your WordPress-based website.
5. Use bloginfo() to add some more information to your logo, such as a title for the link or alternative text for screen readers. Adding this information is good for Search Engine Optimization, or SEO, and will improve your Google rankings. Here is code with 'title' and 'alt' attributes added:
' title='
'>
/logo.png' alt='Welcome to
'>

How to Create a New WordPress PHP Page

How to Transfer a Website into a Blog Using WordPress

1. Install the WordPress blogging software into the directory of your choice. WordPress blogging software can be installed side-by-side in the root directory next to the existing website. The WordPress installation should not affect your existing website.
2. Format the WordPress blog to your liking. Find the right WordPress template to compliment your new blog format. Once you’ve downloaded and installed your template of choice your blog is ready to accept new posts.

3. Organize your website transference process. The best way to ensure that you’ve transferred every page on your website into the new blog format is to work from a list such as an up to date sitemap of your site. A site map will allow you to cross off the converted pages as you go along.
4. Copy and paste each web page as a new blog entry in your WordPress blog. The trick to copying and pasting your web pages into a blog post is maintaining the chronological integrity of the posts. If you have a very old site with many pages, it becomes tricky estimating the actual age of the web page.
5. Validate the blog. Once you have transferred all of the web pages from HTML pages into the new blogging format, it's best to validate your new blog to ensure that all links and images display correctly. W3C.org (see Resources) offers a great validating program that will validate your site’s links.
6. Redirect your old web pages to your blog. By using a 301 redirect, your web traffic automatically redirects to the new blog site. To ensure redirection to the appropriate blog page, it's recommended to do a redirect for each individual web page. This directs readers who access your site from search engine queries to the updated blog page.
7. Create a new site map. Once you instituted the redirect create a new site map and upload it to your web server.

How to Round the Corners on My WordPress Blog

1. Direct your Web browser to the 'wp-admin' directory of your WordPress site and log in to the dashboard. Navigate to 'Appearance' from the menu on the left. Click 'Editor' under 'Appearance' to load the 'Edit Themes' screen. Click on the link to your 'index.php' file and inspect the code that loads in the editor. Load 'header.php' if you wish to examine the header; load 'footer.php' to examine the footer code.
2. Find the tags that create the elements you want to restyle with rounded corners, such as 'div' or 'section' tags around columns or heading tags around the website's title. Take note of the class or ID name assigned to each set of tags. When possible, note the class name of multiple tags when you want to give them all rounded corners, as a class ID only is applied to one tag at a time.

3. Load the 'style.css' style sheet file in the theme editor. Build a CSS selector to 'select' the elements that you want to style with rounded corners by either their ID or class names. Use the hash sign prefix to select by ID and a dot prefix to select by class name. Here are examples of both kinds of selectors:.post {}#header {}
4. Chain your selectors if you plan on giving all of your rounded corners the same 'border-radius' value. Use commas to separate the selectors and put each one on its own line, matching the WordPress guidelines for CSS code:.post,#header {}
5. Write your property-value pairs between the curly braces of your selectors. Round the corners using the 'border-radius' property and a value set in either pixels or percentages. Here is an example of how to use the 'border-radius' property:.post {border-radius: 10px;}The above code gives every post container a border-radius of 10 pixels, creating subtly rounded corners.

How to Find Hidden Users on WordPress

1. Make a backup of your WordPress database. This can be done from phpMyAdmin, or through your WordPress Admin Panel by installing the WP-Optimize or WP-DBManager plug-in. A backup is important before trying to resolve your problems in the event you delete a table entry that causes your Web page to malfunction.
2. Access phpMyAdmin for your WordPress database. This tool is provided by your Web host, but may also be accessed through your WordPress Admin Panel by installing the wp-phpMyAdmin plug-in. Once inside, a list of your database tables will appear on the left-hand side, with the table details appearing on the right.

3. Locate and click on the wp_users link in the list of available tables. Click on the browse tab on the right side. A list of users for your WordPress installation will appear below.
4. Locate the problem user account and click the delete icon in its table row. If prompted, confirm deletion. Repeat this step to remove any remaining accounts you have not approved. If the problem user was not visible in the list, you may have a reporting error instead. Disable all your plug-ins, switch themes, then switch back to reset the counts and verify whether hidden users really exist.
5. Return to the User page or Dashboard in the WordPress Admin Panel to confirm the problem has been solved.

How to Switch From WordPress to Drupal

1. Install Drupal on your server in a separate directory from your WordPress install to prevent any of the core files from either CMS from interfering with each other. If you run WordPress on a WordPress-hosted site, you can install Drupal on the root directory of your site. Some hosts have a 'control panel' that includes a script setup program to install CMS platforms. If your site has this installer, use it to install Drupal, since it will automatically configure the database for you.
2. Log in to your new Drupal installation and configure the new Drupal site as much as you can. Set the name of the site to match your WordPress project and install a theme. Create categories that match your WordPress structure to ease the transition between the platforms; if you have a category called 'Puppy clothes' in WordPress, create it in Drupal. Mimic the structure of your site completely before migrating the content.

3. Install the Drupal 'Wordpress Import' module through the 'Modules' menu in Drupal. This module grabs all of the tables from your WordPress database and imports the information into the Drupal structure, creating all of the articles and menus that existed on your WordPress site. Download the package file from drupal.org and use the built-in installer in Drupal to add the module.
4. Click 'Modules' and then choose 'Wordpress import' to begin the migration process. Enter the information for your WordPress database when prompted. Then click 'Next.' The module walks you through choosing which categories to import and then moves your WordPress blog entries to Drupal.

How to Add Plug

1. Go to your blog's Dashboard. Click on the arrow next to 'Plugins' in the menu running down the left side of your screen. Click on 'Add New.'

How to Podcast with Wordpress

1. Create an audio or video file to be published online. To do this, use iTunes, iMovie, or another recording computer program. The result should be a file in either .MP3 format (for audio) or .MP4 format (for video). Make sure the file is less than 5 MB, because otherwise it will be difficult for others to download.
2. Upload the audio or video file to an online server, and make sure it is able to be accessed on the Internet. An easy way to complete this step is by using iTunes, a free program from Apple that lets users easily publish their own podcasts.

3. Log in to your Wordpress account, and create a new post for the podcast.
4. Using basic HTML, link the address of the audio or video file to the Wordpress post. For example, if the file is located at http://mysite.com/podcast.mp3, the link would be
New Podcast
. Wordpress will interpret the code and create a link to your podcast.
