Things to take care before installing wordpress Manual v/s Softaculous

If your already confused with using Softaculos why not go with the file source from wordpress.org which has a very very simple installtion that takes just a minute or two. You simply need to create your database, user and enter that when installing WordPress.

You can set the www or non-www in WordPress itself during installation.

If you install it in your root directory that means WordPress will be your main site www.example.com otherwise if it’s in a folder such as /blog now only www.example.com/blog is WordPress. So if you want your entire site powered by WordPress you must install it in your root folder.

You can install on your main site power it by WordPress and still have /blog as a page with a blog template. In my opinion it’s much better to have it in the root folder and power your site with WordPress it’s so much easier to manage and customize.
